Available Modes for Scrap Metal Recycling
The Vanta Element™ comes equipped with specialized analysis modes designed for the fast-paced demands of scrap yards and recycling facilities. Each mode is optimized for the materials you encounter most—ensuring quick, accurate, and repeatable results.
Alloy Mode – Rapid Metal Sorting & Grade Identification
- Purpose: Designed for ferrous and non-ferrous alloy sorting.
- Applications: Stainless steel, tool steel, copper alloys, aluminum, nickel alloys, and titanium.
- Key Benefits for Scrap:
- Delivers instant alloy grade IDs in 2–3 seconds, even on dirty or rough scrap surfaces.
- Uses SmartSort™ automation to dynamically adjust testing time, speeding up workflows.
- Ideal for high-volume scrap yards where throughput and accuracy drive profitability.
Catalytic Converter Mode – Platinum Group Metal (PGM) Analysis
- Purpose: Detects and quantifies Pt (Platinum), Pd (Palladium), and Rh (Rhodium) in catalytic converters.
- Applications: Auto recycler yards, PGM buyers, and catalytic converter processors.
Key Benefits for Scrap
-
- Provides fast, on-the-spot PGM content readings to support accurate pricing and negotiations.
- Reduces reliance on external labs for basic valuation, accelerating the sales cycle.
- Optimized for ceramic substrate and metallic foil converters.
Precious Metals Mode – Jewelry & High-Value Scrap
- Purpose: Targets gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and other precious metals for quick valuation.
- Applications: Jewelry scrap, refinery feedstock, pawn/reclaim operations, and high-value recyclables.
Key Benefits for Scrap
-
- Confirms karat gold (e.g., 10K, 14K, 18K) and silver content instantly.
- Essential for mixed precious scrap loads, ensuring accurate sorting and minimal loss.
- Supports scrap buyers and refiners with trustworthy, SI-traceable analysis.
Electronic Materials Mode – E-Scrap & E-Waste Recycling
- Purpose: Identifies metals in circuit boards, wiring, and electronic components.
- Applications: E-waste dismantling centers and electronics recyclers.
Key Benefits for Scrap:
- Detects valuable metals (Au, Ag, Pd, Cu, Sn, etc.) for recovery and resale.
- Flags hazardous elements like Pb (Lead), Cd (Cadmium), and Hg (Mercury) to ensure compliance.
- Streamlines component-level sorting to maximize extraction value in electronics recycling.
Why These Modes Matter in Scrap Recycling
- By leveraging these purpose-built modes, the Vanta Element™ helps recyclers:
- Speed up material identification and reduce mis-sorts.
- Confidently price incoming loads and negotiate payouts.
- Capture hidden value in specialty scrap streams like catalytic converters and e-scrap.
- Maintain regulatory compliance in hazardous material screening.
