Areas of Application

We develop the widest range of technologies internally for the separation of materials.

Separation of materials for recycling - Areas of application

Car shredder (ASR) ›

SGM provides a complete range of technological solutions for both cleaning and recovering the ferrous coming off shredders as well as for recovering non-ferrous metals present in the nonferrous fraction called Auto Shredder Residue (ASR).

Separation of materials for recycling - Areas of application

Incinerated municipal waste (IBA) ›

Because the incineration of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) reduces the volume of the MSW by 80% and its weight by 90%, it constitutes an increasingly frequent alternative to landfills. SGM provides a complete range of technological solutions for both recovering and cleaning the metals in the ash.

Separation of materials for recycling - Areas of application

Municipal solid waste (MSW) ›

SGM provides a complete range of ferrous separators (belt, drum and pulley magnets) and non-ferrous metals separators (eddy current separators up to 80”/ 2m wide) as well as color sorters for the processing of Municipal Solid Waste in order to recover and valorize metals and plastic.

Separation of materials for recycling - Areas of application

Glass ›

Glass is one of the few packaging that can be recycled infinitely. Making glass from glass cullet is convenient as it requires less raw material and energy. SGM is a technology leader in this field with a complete range of magnetic ferrous separators, eddy current separators, induction sensor based sorters, colour sorters and X-ray sorters.

Separation of materials for recycling - Areas of application

Electronic waste WEEE ›

SGM provides a complete range of ferrous separators,non-ferrous metals separators as well as color sorters (for printed circuit boards), X-Ray sorter (for brominated plastics) and air gravity tables for processing waste of electric and electronic equipment (WEEE).

Separation of materials for recycling - Areas of application

Wood ›

SGM is a technology leader in this field with a complete range of magnetic ferrous separators, eddy current separators, induction sensor based sorters and air gravity tables.

Separation of materials for recycling - Areas of application

Scrap cleaning line ›

The SGM proprietary HMS Scrap Cleaning Line is specifically designed for cleaning HMS ferrous scrap from nonferrous contaminants with a direct positive impact on the yield of the furnace, reduction in the cost of lime and improvement in the quality of the steel produced.

Separation of materials for recycling - Areas of application

Upgrade of aluminum scrap ›

The different SGM separators, including X-ray sorters, eddy current separators and magnetic ferrous separators process the scrap aluminum and segregate the parts with a high content of Zn, Cu, Fe and Mg from the aluminum scrap.

Separation of materials for recycling - Areas of application

Mineral: Coal ›

SGM provides a complete range of magnetic ferrous separators, including drum and belt magnets, to remove tramp iron from coal conveyors.

Separation of materials for recycling - Areas of application

Minerals: Iron Ore ›

The SGM X-Ray Transmission Sorter is the ideal solution for pre-concentrating iron and manganese ores by means of a dry process.

Separation of materials for recycling - Areas of application

Minerals: diamonds ›

The SGM X-Ray Transmission Sorter is used for concentrating diamonds from rocks by taking advantage of the atomic number of diamonds.
