S1 Sorter
The S1 SORTER provides a fast, reliable way of separating the valuable content of scrap and the ability to identify unwanted or ‘tramp’ elements – without the need for highly-trained operators. The S1 SORTER is a good solution for analyzing standard alloys such as low alloy steels, stainless steels, high temperature alloys, brasses, bronzes and other nickel, copper, and cobalt-based alloys.
