Got Zorba? Recover it with a twin-shaft shredder combined with a separation line
Zorba, the alloy of aluminium, copper, brass and zinc locked inside the scrap normally processed by a hammer mill, is a material that can command high prices when it is correctly sorted. Until now, the only way to recover it was to have a hammer mill running in line with a separation line.
Zato can change this scenario: the combination of the Blue Devil twin-shaft shredder and the Blue Sorter separation line with ECS separates non-ferrous metals with high precision and makes Zorba market-ready, with no hammer mill to install and therefore no civil works and no special permits. An accessible, ready-to-use investment that opens the non-ferrous market to small and medium-sized companies as well.
Zorba is worth far more than iron: how to recover it before investing in a shredder
In the global non-ferrous market, Zorba is one of the most sought-after products. Aluminium, copper and zinc prices have been rising for years. Even so, in many cases a large share of this value stays trapped in processed scrap and is sold off at the price of iron.
Hammer mills paired with a separation line have always been the technology used to separate Zorba; complex civil works, lengthy permitting procedures and high energy consumption, however, put them out of reach for most operators in the sector.
Blue Devil + Blue Sorter: the solution for non-ferrous metal separation without a hammer mill
Zato’s answer is an integrated two-stage line:
- Blue Devil: the twin-shaft shredder installs on any existing surface, with no need for foundations or special permits. It opens up the material and makes the non-ferrous metals available for separation.
- Blue Sorter with ECS: the first magnetic separation step extracts the ferrous fraction, which follows its own dedicated sales route. The ECS, the eddy current separator, precisely recover Zorba thanks to precise separation from other contaminants such as ferrous residues, stainless steel and so on.
Minimal footprint, simplified permitting procedures and operating costs under control: a lean solution that lets you capture margin from day one.
