Scrap to secondary aluminium: Metallco Norway completes the circular economy with X-ray transmission

The Norwegian company Metallco AS collects and sorts metal scrap in any form and produces new aluminium from the recovered raw materials in its inhouse smelting plant. The company relies on STEINERT sorting technology for its sorting plant, which opened in 2022.

With two STEINERT EddyC current separators and several X-ray sorting systems with transmission and fluorescence technology, Metallco relies on the current key technologies in metal sorting. In addition, and thus at the cutting edge, Metallco is installing a STEINERT LSS | LIBS sorting system, for separating aluminium into its alloys.

CEO and majority owner Laurie Feinberg and the CEO of the sorting plant Øyvind Frebrich explain what challenges the international business with recycled metals entails and how sorting technology from STEINERT solves them.
