Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the advantages of conventional sink-float separation could be combined with those of dry process management? We have taken this question a step further and developed the dry sink-swim sorter SORT FLUID.
It features a dry fluidized bed made of very fine particles, where heavy metals (copper, brass, stainless steel, etc.) sink to the bottom and light metals (particularly aluminium) and other lightweight materials (plastics, minerals, etc.) float to the top. The process is continuous, the bed material (heavy material) is circulated and the products are ejected via discharge ramps.
