LIBS as the foundation for resource conservation

With Cleansort MetaLIBS, we are revolutionizing scrap sorting with state-of-the-art laser technology. With the help of innovative laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), we enable you to analyze your base material with high precision in just a few thousandths of a second, regardless of coatings or impurities.

This opens up completely new possibilities for sorting according to specific alloy components and ensures the efficient return of recyclable materials to the recycling cycle.

Our patented process from cleaning to analysis of metal alloys is used in all Cleansort sorting solutions.

The innovative cleaning process of the material surface makes it possible to obtain high-resolution spectra. These provide you with a detailed, precise breakdown of the chemical composition of each individual piece and thus form the basis for a reliable qualitative analysis.

As a further option, low-resolution spectra allow a coarser, qualitative evaluation. Here, sorting is based on predefined threshold values, such as the maximum permissible proportion of silicon or magnesium, without precise knowledge of the actual composition.

Quantitative analyses are used to precisely determine the ingredients in both the eject and drop fractions. You receive reliable data to make informed decisions and optimize your processes with regard to the quality, efficiency and added value of your aluminium scrap.
