Minimizing waste, maximizing efficiency, driving profitability, and shrinking environmental impact.
Sorting Technology
Our multiple sensor-based sorting solutions allow for greater precision than conventional wet processing technology. Materials can now be examined for multiple unique characteristics- from colour to light reflectance to atomic structure and density- and compared against a quality matrix.
Separation Technology
We have the capabilities and skills to develop the correct separation algorithms to detect the unique attributes of various mineral types. The sensor-based sorting’s unique ability for particle-by-particle analysis- which compares individual particles against specific criteria- focuses on optimising sulphur reduction, yield, and recovery.
Our success story
In an analysis of South African coal, Acrux undertook a bulk test on a washed sample that contained 1.4% sulphur. Our results proved that sensor-based sorting could be optimised to produce a 0.5% sulphur product at an 88% yield, recovering 95% of the sample’s energy content.
