Changes in the material properties, such as residual moisture, grain shape or conductivity, can be counteracted with this automatic control technology. Splitcontrol ensures consistently high-yield rates and high operational stability. Manual interventions to correct the separating splitter can be reduced to a minimum.
Steinert Splitcontrol can be incorporated as an additional option when configuring a new Steinert non-ferrous metals separator. Retrofits are possible as well.
A laser grid is used to monitor the variance of sorted product in the eddy current separatorâs discharge zone. The different discharge parabolas of the conductive NF metals and the unaffected non-conductive residue (drop) are assigned via software. By automatically controlling the belt speed, the discharge parabola of the drop proportion is always led close to the separating splitter, meaning that the sorter can always be run to deliver optimum separation.
Splitcontrol kits can be installed in a matter of hours. They are fitted on the outside of the sorting system and usually require minimal modifications to the outer shell.
