With a combination of smart sensors and computer controlled air jets, the Steinert ISS® Series Induction Sorters can detect and eject any metals quickly and efficiently. When configured with an optional selective sensor it can separate stainless steel from other non-ferrous metals.

Smart Sensors - A Better Way To Separate

Smart Sensor™ Technology is a Steinert innovation found exclusively on our ISS® Sorters. The ISS Smart Sensors™ are available in 12.5mm spacing for detection and recovery of smaller metal pieces or in 25mm spacing for larger metal recovery applications. The user friendly and versatile touch-screen controls allow multiple pre-set recipes to ensure maximum metal recovery for all processing conditions. The result is a machine perfectly suited to work with Steinert MTE, NES and XSS Separators.

Features:

• Uses fast and reliable sensing and ejecting systems.
• Modular sensor and valve bar construction.
• Adjustable programming and mechanical positioning for flexible operating conditions.
• Built to last for many years at extended hours with heavy duty structural steel components and controls.
• Out weighs all other sorters two-to-one.
• Interchangeable, replaceable spare parts used on all units.
• We have the widest selection of units in the industry
  • 600 – 3000 mm ( 24” – 120”)
• 70 units in North America alone.

Applications

The technology of the ISS® induction sorting system combines sophisticated sensor technology and computer controlled air jets to quickly detect and eject metals.

The result: The ISS® induction sorting system provides increased economic efficiency and improved quality of the product and/or recovery of valuable materials A consistent high output of clean valuable materials.

And in typical industrial use, the ISS® produces purity and recovery greater than 90%. This means that automatic separation using ISS® technology can more than double the recovery of valuable materials when compared to manual sorting. Additionally, the throughput can be increased three or four times using an ISS® substantially improving your bottom line.

Additional screening or crushing before the ISS® will increase recoveries even more and actual results may vary depending on the specific objectives of the application.

Technology

How the ISS® works: The previously separated bulk material is transported by a fast conveyor belt to a sorting zone. Below the conveyor belt, immediately in front of the main coil of the ISS®, there is an arrangement of sensors. These sensors analyze the material over the whole width of the conveyor belt by means of magnetic induction.

As soon as metallic particles are detected, electronic signals are sent to the central computerized control unit. The compressed air jets, individually controlled by the programming, push the detected metals over the diverter gate.

Introducing Sorting Sensor Technology:

In addition to the ISS® all-metals sensor, STEINERT offers the innovative, sensor technology. The latter not only detects metal but also distinguishes between ferrous, non-ferrous metals and stainless steel, and can even be set to separate big and small pieces or one metal from another! Possible adjustments: Adjustments may be made in order to optimize the results: the speed of the belt, the sensitivity of the sensors, the interval between detection and jetting, the pressure of the compressed air jets and the jetting time can be programmed individually. The position of the compressed air jets – either beyond or below the sorting zone – and their distance to the bulk material or their angle may also be adjusted. The closer the jets are situated to the product stream, the cleaner the product.

In order to fulfill the specific throughput conditions prevailing in the plant, STEINERT offers various working widths for the ISS®.

Besides our successful eddy current separator, we also offer a rotating vertex to ensure that the discharge is reliable.
