Overview
The sorting process of the X-ray sorting machine is that the material is transported via a conveyor belt, passing between the X-ray generator above the belt and a set of line array dual energy detectors below, at which point the degree of X-ray energy absorption of each piece of material passing through is determined and the atomic number of the material is measured, the control unit receives the measurement signal for analysis and screening, triggering a spray actuator fixed to the head of the conveyor belt to blow the material out. The control unit, after receiving the measurement signal, analyses and screens the material, triggering the blowing actuator fixed at the head of the conveyor belt to blow it out.

Case 1: X Ray Sorting Machine for Zorba Processing Project – Client from Argentina

Project Overview

A large scrap car & WEEE recycling company in Argentina handles 60,000 tons of Zorba materials per year. Its original line relied on eddy current separators plus manual sorting, bringing multiple drawbacks: mixed aluminum, magnesium, copper and stainless steel could not be separated precisely, low aluminum purity led to low selling prices; manual sorting caused high labor costs and massive metal loss; wet flotation required expensive chemicals and sewage treatment, with strict local environmental regulations bringing heavy rectification pressure. The customer purchased our X ray sorting machine to build a fully dry Zorba recycling line.

Complete Process Flow

Double shaft shredder → hammer mill → air classifier → magnetic separation system → trommel screen grading → integrated eddy current & magnetic separator → all-metal sensor sorter → two-stage X ray sorting machine

Core Equipment Advantages

Equipped with XRT transmission detection and AI intelligent identification system, it distinguishes materials based on atomic density to accurately separate aluminum, magnesium, copper and stainless steel. The whole production line runs in dry mode without water or chemical agents. Multi-stage sorting removes iron, plastics and impurities step by step, while two-stage X-ray deep purification guarantees high-purity aluminum output.

Operational Data After Commissioning
1. Hourly capacity: 8–12 tons; 8 sorting workers are eliminated, greatly cutting annual labor expenditure.
2. Aluminum purity stably reaches 99.6%, bringing obvious premium on sales.
3. Aluminum recovery rate rises from 87% to 99.2%.
4. Zero wastewater discharge, 60% smaller floor space, fully compliant with local Argentina environmental standards.
Client Feedback

Our X ray sorting machine greatly improves the quality and profit of Zorba products. Separated copper and stainless steel can be sold separately for extra income. Huihuan provides one-stop complete recycling machinery including shredders, hammer mills and eddy current separators. We plan to reorder the same X ray sorting machine for our new expansion plant.

Case 2: X Ray Sorting Machine for Metallurgical Slag Recovery Project – Middle East Client

Project Overview

A solid waste treatment plant in the Middle East processes 90,000 tons of steel slag and incineration bottom ash every year. The original line only adopted magnetic separators and eddy current separators. Tiny aluminum, copper and zinc particles embedded inside slag aggregates could not be captured by conventional equipment, resulting in over 35% non-ferrous metal loss. Mixed scrap metal could only be sold at low prices with narrow profit margins. The client upgraded the existing production line with our X ray sorting machine to boost overall metal recovery rate.

Complete Process Flow

Slag crusher → trommel screen → magnetic pulley → air classifier + ZigZag Separator → eddy current separator → X ray sorting machine

Core Equipment Advantages

X-rays penetrate slag aggregates to detect tiny embedded metal particles and separate high-purity aluminum, copper and zinc individually. The fully dry process fits the arid, water-short climate of the Middle East. Pre-installed magnetic pulleys, air classifiers and ZigZag separators remove iron, dust and light impurities in advance, reducing the load of downstream sorting and improving X-ray separation accuracy.

Operational Data After Commissioning
1. Total valuable metal recovery rate increased from 64% to 98%.
2. An extra 1,100 tons of non-ferrous metals are recovered every year.
3. Separated single-type metals gain higher market prices; residual slag can be reused as construction aggregate.
Client Feedback

Traditional sorting equipment cannot recover metals trapped inside slag, which is perfectly solved by the X ray sorting machine. This full set of dry industrial recycling equipment saves water resources, adapts to local climate and brings steady additional annual revenue to our factory.

HUICHUAN Vertical Scrap Metal Shredder ( Vertical Scrap Metal Hammer Mill)HUICHUAN Vertical Scrap Metal Shredder is a high-efficiency equipment in the field of metal scrap processing. Its core advantages lie in deep volume reduction, liberating material components, optimizing subsequent separation efficiency, while significantly reducing scrap transportation costs, providing key support for the metal recycling process. Its working principle is realized through three-stage precise processing:Upper Crushing Stage: The breakers in the upper part of the equipment's chamber first crush the material powerfully until the material size is reduced to the range that can enter the "gap between the milling rings and chamber liners", completing the initial rough processing.Middle Grinding and Rolling Stage: The material entering the gap is then subjected to "impact + grinding + rolling" combined processing by the milling rings, and finally converted into uniform fragments with high cleanliness, removing impurities and ensuring material consistency.Lower Discharge Stage: When the crushed material reaches the preset fineness, it will naturally agglomerate into balls and fall into the lower chamber, and the finished product is discharged quickly and stably by the discharge paddles. The final product of this equipment has two major characteristics: "high cleanliness" and "high bulk density", which is fully suitable for the subsequent transportation and recycling processing needs. At present, it is mainly used for processing the following metal scraps:Hardware scrap: Water pipe valves, water meters, etc.Aluminum scrap: Aluminum castings, aluminum profiles, used aluminum cans (UBC’s), etc.Steel scrap: Pre-shredded steel plates, metal drums, etc.

Vertical Scrap Metal Hammer Mill

X-ray sorters emits rays through an X-ray source to penetrate ores. After the detector receives the signals, it converts them into electrical signals, which are then processed by AI algorithms to achieve separation. Different minerals have different degrees of X-ray attenuation due to differences in density and elemental composition, thus distinguishing ore types and grades.
