THE PROBLEM

The XRT unit’s existing programmes prioritised throughput and recovery but could not consistently achieve the new product-purity requirement.

IMMEDIATE ACTION

Machine condition, material presentation, detection performance and physical ejection were assessed before adjusting the software.

THE PROGRAMME ADJUSTMENTS

A structured range of programmes was developed to balance purity and recovery, increasing aluminium purity from 96.2% to 99.1% in a single pass.
