Exploring X-ray technology and carbon dioxide reductions: a chat with Stena Recycling.
Making Green Gold: The Sustainable Aluminum Dream
Situated a stone's throw away from Copenhagen, Denmark's vanguard metal recycling titan is transforming "x-ray magic" into ultra-pure aluminum. Aluminum, an versatile metal that's increasingly supplanting steel and other materials, boasts the tantalizing promise of being 100% recyclable. But to create top-tier aluminum products, the recycling industry must ensure a consistent high purity in their raw materials.
As the "green gods," these metal wizards convert scrap into a marvelous resource, feeding it back into the manufacturing cycle. Jesper Fournaise, the man behind aluminum production and sales, passionately upholds this mission, obsessively sorting his household waste. "In the past, our scrap was dispatched to distant lands for laborious, manual sorting," he says, "but technological leaps have brought x-ray sorters into our backyard."
More than just a shiny commodity, today's market concerns extend beyond the sales price of metals. It's also about transparency in material handling, such as tracking transport distances. "By embracing secondary raw materials, our customers, the smelters, drastically cut carbon emissions." With eco-friendly aluminum production at the forefront, Fournaise's team maintains impeccable standards, not based on their own whims, but their customers' desires.
partner Viggo Bendz aids decision-making on new technology, steering the team towards Steinert's cutting-edge x-ray sorting technology. Validation occurs through rigorous testing at the Steinert Test Centre in Cologne, as well as training staff on the finer points of advanced sorting programs.
When it comes to x-ray sorters, precision is paramount. Sorting by density is the key to distinguishing different metal categories and producing a superior product. The machine separates impure heavy metals, aluminum compounds, free magnesium, and wrought and cast aluminum components.
X-ray technology, a beacon of technological advancements, is central to creating a sustainable future for metal recycling. By detecting impurities and streamlining the process, x-ray sorters optimize the recycling cycle, reduce waste, and conserve our planet's precious resources.danish partner Viggo Bendz aids decision-making on new technology, steering the team towards Steinert's cutting-edge x-ray sorting technology.

Embracing Modern Technology for a Greener Tomorrow
Jesper Fournaise and his team not only pioneer the production of ultra-pure aluminum but also champion a sustainable future for metal recycling. Utilizing x-ray technology in their manufacturing process ensures quality that rivals primary aluminum. The result: secondary raw materials with high purity levels, contributing to a global reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
In this quest for a greener tomorrow, Fournaise's team relies on what their customers need. Working hand-in-hand with Steinert and Viggo Bendz, they harness the power of x-ray sorters to meet ever-evolving industry standards and strive towards a future defined by waste minimization and resource conservation.
As they push the boundaries of sustainable aluminum production, Jesper Fournaise and his team collaborate with Danish partner Viggo Bendz to integrate Steinert's x-ray sorting technology. This advanced technology, a testament to modern leaps in environmental-science, aids in precision-sorting and the elimination of impurities, ultimately conserving our planet's resources and addressing climate-change concerns. The team's focus on scientific advancements paves the way for a greener tomorrow in the field of metal recycling.
