In cable recycling, even small losses of copper mean significant revenue loss. Conventional separation often leaves copper mixed with other metals, reducing material value and increasing rework costs.
Eldan Sorting’s SPS combines, RGB cameras, deep-learning Al and inductive sensors to detect and separate the different materials granules; copper, brass, lead, grey metals and plastics.

In cable recycling, even small losses of copper mean significant revenue loss. The Eldan Sorting SPS is designed to optimize cable granulate separation, ensuring maximum recovery and purity. Using RGB cameras combined with AI algorithms, and inductive sensors. The SPS precisely detects and separates metals. High-speed pneumatic ejectors guarantee consistent purity and minimal loss of valuable fractions.
