TITECH x-tract

The TITECH x-tract identifies materials irrespective of their surface. With X-ray technology it can separate substances on the basis of their atomic density and is so able to separate material concentrates into different material types.

Innovation and progress in one. Based on high-resolution x-ray transmission image processing, the sorting machine uses dry-mechanic techniques to separate materials and waste streams based on specific atomic density. This innovation opens new frontiers in efficient processing of recovered valuable materials.

Features & Benefits

  • Extremely fast payoff
  • Highest selectivity
  • Identification irrespective of the surface
  • Very robust design
  • Highest safety standard
  • Good adaptability to customer requirements
  • Emergency service hotline

Detection Techniques

Resolution // The TITECH x-ray camera has a maximum resolution of 0.8 mm.

The completely new separation technology of the TITECH x-tract uses an electric
x-ray source which creates a broad-band radiation in the energy range of 80 KeV to
160 KeV. This radiation penetrates the segregation material and, when attenuated,
hits an X-ray camera with DUOLINE® sensor using two independent sensor lines with
different spectral sensitivity. The data supplied by this camera is classified using
TITECH high speed x-ray processing. So the atomic density of the materials can be
identified and this is largely accomplished regardless of the material thickness.

Technical Specification

Sensor Configuration

A //
Economy model for separation of materials of lower thickness and lower atomic
density, 90 KeV X-ray energy and up to 1000 W – XRT basic

B // Flexible and high efficiency model for separation of materials of greater thickness and
higher atomic density, 160 KeV X-ray energy and 500 W power – XRT standard

C // More powerful x-ray source for highest penetration of materials. This improves
the range of thickness and the separation quality for special applications. 160 KeV
X-ray energy and 1000 W power – XRT extended
