Orion ScanSortSM
ScanSort is a conveyor-based system that accurately surveys, monitors and sorts, segregating scanned material into “above criteria” and “below criteria” discharge piles. It is truck transportable and compact, and can be operated safely by as few as two trained staff.
Technologies unique to ScanSort include custom scanning spectroscopy detectors, monitoring and reporting software, and reversing conveyor.
Depending upon the type of material and the detection criteria, ScanSort can process and segregate up to 200 tons per hour.
Benefits of ScanSort over manual scanning and sorting:
- ScanSort is more precise, safer, and orders of magnitude faster
- Suspect material is excavated in bulk, rather than 15cm lifts
- 100% of conveyed material is assayed with 100% accuracy
- Sorted material is discharged in bulk for disposal or re-use
Benefits of ScanSort over other conveyor-based systems:
- Superior material-handling with 100% density calibration
- Scanning spectroscopy enables higher production rates
- All-weather scanning and sorting of wet or dry material
- Processes soil, crushed stone and concrete, and slurry
ScanSort produces data of NRC and USEPA Final Status Survey quality.
