Metal Treatment Facility MTF

Non-ferrous metals stemming from incinerator bottom ash processing have to be cleansed from adhesive ash and sorted in order to be fit for further use. To achieve this, non-ferrous metal concentrates from various international plants are treated in a dry process in our non-ferrous upgrading facility in the Netherlands. In a specifically designed hall, the metal concentrate is passed over several air tables that separate the non-ferrous metals into light and heavy metals, applying a combination of sieving, air stream and movement. The result is a high purity metal fraction, which can be directly used at the smelting plant.
