Innov-X debuts high-volume metal sorting, separating system.Innov-X Systems Inc., Woburn, Mass., has announced the introduction of its new QXR-M automated, high-volume sorting and separating system, which was on display at the 2007 Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries Inc. (ISRI ISRI Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries ISRI Institute for Software Research, International (Carnegie Mellon University) ISRI Information Science Research Institute ISRI Intelligent Systems Research Institute ) Conference & Exhibition in April. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. a press release from Innov-X, the QXR-M "identifies and sorts mixed metal scrap into product-specific categories based on highly specific material chemistry--improving recoveries and increasing asset value for metal recyclers." Applications for the QXR-M include extracting copper or copper alloys from heavies, sorting aluminum by alloy content, cleaning and grading stainless steel stainless steel: see steel. stainless steel Any of a family of alloy steels usually containing 10–30% chromium. The presence of chromium, together with low carbon content, gives remarkable resistance to corrosion and heat. , extracting meatballs (shredded electric motors), extracting coins and precious metals Precious Metals Valuable metals such as gold, iridium, palladium, platinum, and silver. Notes: Investing in precious metals can be done either by purchasing the physical asset, or by purchasing futures contracts for the particular metal. and removing plastics and glass from shredded material. The device uses X-ray fluorescence (XRF XRF X-Ray Fluorescence XRF X-Ray Flash XRF Cross Reference XRF Extended Recovery Facility (IBM) XRF Extended Reliability Feature XRF Cross Reference File XRF External Reference ) technology and allows accurate sorting and separation, according to Innov-X, at capacities ranging from one ton per hour to 10 tons per hour. The units are available as individual components or as complete turnkey systems and can integrate with existing technologies or replace them, according to the company.
