Precise LIBS sorting for maximum material purity
Our team would be happy to advise you on NIR sorting and how SPALECK technology can help you get the most out of your NIR system.
Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy Sorting
LIBS sorting enables the precise analysis and separation of different materials within modern recycling and production processes.
Sensor-based technologies can be used to detect, classify, and automatically sort materials.
Typical applications:
Simply send us a photo of your material and the key details about the project, and we’ll get back to you right away.
In the video, you can see one of Europe’s most modern household waste treatment facilities. The NIR sorting machines used benefit directly from their integration with SPALECK screening machines.

The Challenge of Modern Material Sorting
Large volumes of material, varying material compositions, and increasing purity requirements are making modern sorting processes increasingly challenging.
In LIBS sorting, the surface of a material is analyzed using a laser pulse. Within milliseconds, the system identifies the elemental composition and automatically assigns the material to the appropriate fraction.
The challenge here is that materials often differ only in very minor components or alloy proportions. At the same time, large quantities must be accurately analyzed and sorted in the shortest possible time. In order for the technology to reach its full potential, stable process conditions and uniform material presentation are also crucial.
Even small deviations can:
In addition to sensor technology, therefore, the preparation and feeding of the material also play an important role in ensuring reliable sorting results.
Precise LIBS sorting begins with the material feed
For sensor-based sorting systems to operate reliably, the material must be fed into the system in an even, controlled, and optimally distributed manner.
Because:
Only a homogeneous material flow makes it possible to:

More InformationChallenges and Limitations of LIBS Sorting
LIBS sorting is one of the most precise technologies for material identification. Nevertheless, it places high demands on the entire sorting process and the plant environment.
Typical challenges include:
To fully harness the potential of LIBS technology, all process steps must be optimally coordinated with one another. In addition to sensor technology, the uniform and controlled feeding of the material also plays an important role.
Only the combination of precise analysis and optimal process conditions enables maximum sorting accuracy, high levels of purity, and cost-effective results.
