Integration of Metal Sorting Systems

PRO TEHNO integrates proven sorting technologies into automated metal sorting plants. Every system is custom-engineered around your input material stream, capacity, layout and recovery targets — for new plants or upgrades.

We design the line by working backwards from your target products:

desired fractions → required purity → required technologies → final line layout and automation. 

The goal is one stable process with controlled material flow, correct sequencing, clean transfer points and reliable operation.

Better sorting means higher recovery and cleaner products, supporting sustainability and lower CO₂. With weighing on material discharges, every output stream can be tracked and quantified — enabling batch control, supplier assessment and clear reporting.

What we deliver

  • Process design & flowsheet development (custom to your input material stream)
  • Layout & plant engineering (space, logistics and existing equipment constraints)
  • Mechanical integration (conveyors, transfer points, platforms, guarding)
  • Automation & commissioning (start-up, tuning, handover)
  • Service & support throughout the system lifecycle

What you get out of an integrated plant

  • Tailored recovery and cleaner products
  • Stable operation through engineered feeding, sequencing and transfer points
  • Upgrade-ready modularity as your input material stream or targets change
  • One responsible partner from concept to commissioning — plus long-term support

Typical technologies we integrate

  • Buffering, dosing and controlled feeding
  • Screening & size classification
  • Magnetic separatio
  • Eddy current separation (ECS)
  • Density-based separation and air classification (as required)
  • Sensor-based sorting 
  • Product handling & quality control (QC platforms / re-sort loops)
  • Conveying systems (steel structures, chutes, transfer points)
  • Weighing, traceability & batch control
  • WASTEGUARD — AI hazard detection on key conveyors
