FR-XRT PROFUSION SORTING SERIES
XRT + RGB
Fusion Sorting for
Complex Metal Streams
FR-XRT Pro combines Dual-Energy X-ray transmission with high-resolution RGB imaging to support complex material decisions where density response, surface color, texture and shape all matter. It is built for ASR, IBA, heavy non-ferrous upgrading, e-waste, PCB, wire harness and connector sorting.
Dual-Energy XRT + RGBComplex Mixed MaterialsASR / IBA RecoveryColor + Density Recognition
01
Feed
Complex coarse material streams are presented with metals, plastics, rubber, PCB or mineral residue.
02
Fuse
XRT reads internal material response while RGB captures color, texture, shape and surface features.
03
Recover / Reject
Selected value fractions are recovered and off-class material is ejected based on the sample-led decision map.
Why FR-XRT Pro
When density alone is not enough, add visual intelligence.
FR-XRT Pro is built for complex recycling streams where valuable materials and contaminants cannot be defined by a single sensor signal.
XRT + RGB fusion
Combines internal X-ray response with external color, texture and shape information.
Better for complex residues
Supports ASR, IBA, e-waste and mixed heavy non-ferrous fractions where material appearance still matters.
More than heavy / light separation
Helps define value fractions when materials share similar density classes but show different surface features.
Sample-led AI classes
Recognition classes are trained and configured from real customer materials, including accepted, reject and borderline pieces.
Practical recovery routes
Supports recovery of stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, wire harness, PCB-related fractions and selected rejects where applicable.
Built for real recycling variation
Accounts for oxidation, dust, coating, dirt, deformation, labels, rubber, plastics and mixed-material pieces in sample review.
Main applications
Four complex sorting jobs for fusion recognition.
FR-XRT Pro is positioned for streams where XRT response and RGB appearance must be reviewed together.
Application 01
ASR complex residue sorting
Recover valuable metals from automotive shredder residue containing aluminum, stainless steel, copper, brass, rubber, plastics, foam, fabric and PCB fragments.
ASR feedRecovered metalsRubber / plastic rejectsXRT + RGB
Application 02
IBA stainless steel and metal recovery
Recover stainless steel and non-ferrous metals from screened incinerator bottom ash where ash, mineral residue and dull surfaces make visual sorting alone unreliable.
IBAStainless steelAluminumCopper / brassMineral residue
Application 03
Heavy non-ferrous differentiation
Differentiate high-value heavy non-ferrous fractions such as copper, brass, bronze-like metals, zinc-like pieces and stainless steel by combining density response with visible color and surface texture.

Application 04
E-waste, PCB and wire harness sorting
Sort electronic waste streams where aluminum housings, PCB fragments, copper wire, brass connectors, plastics and stainless steel appear together and require both internal and external recognition.

Complex material stream
Complex feed, recovered value fractions and visual reject classes.
FR-XRT Pro is designed for decisions where internal density response and external appearance must be reviewed together.
Visual examples are illustrative. Fusion sorting performance depends on material composition, surface condition, particle size, presentation, sensor configuration, contaminant rate and sample testing.

Accepted and reject classes are always confirmed on your representative samples before a configuration is quoted.
The platform
A fusion sorting platform for complex recycling streams.
FR-XRT Pro combines X-ray response and RGB appearance in a sample-led decision map for applications where one signal is not enough.

How it works
Fusion sorting starts from a representative sample map.
The useful test set includes accepted fractions, target rejects, visual look-alikes, surface contamination, overlapping classes and the real particle size range.
- 01Customer-prepared
Feed complex material
Representative ASR, IBA, heavy non-ferrous or e-waste material is prepared with accepted, reject and borderline examples.
- 02Stable presentation
Spread each object for inspection
Material is presented so each piece can be read as an individual object rather than a hidden or overlapping clump.
- 03XRT inspection
Read internal response
Dual-Energy XRT reads attenuation response associated with density and effective atomic-number differences.
- 04RGB inspection
Read external appearance
High-resolution RGB imaging captures visible color, texture, surface condition and shape features.
- 05Fusion decision
Eject and verify
The system compares combined features with the sample-led decision map, ejects selected objects and verifies recovered and reject streams.
Technical details
FR-XRT Pro specifications.
The FR-XRT Pro platform is specified from the customer's material, required recovery classes, throughput target, particle size range, contaminant rate and sensor configuration. Remaining mechanical and utility figures are confirmed after representative sample testing.
| Model | Belt / Detection Width (mm) | Air Consumption (m³/min) | Sensor Configuration | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FR12 Pro | 1200 | 10-13 | Dual-Energy XRT + RGB | Fusion sorting |
| FR18 Pro | 1800 | 13-17 | Dual-Energy XRT + RGB | Fusion sorting |
| FR24 Pro | 2400 | 20-30 | Dual-Energy XRT + RGB | Fusion sorting |
Figures may vary based on material composition, particle size distribution, feed presentation, contaminant rate and selected configuration. Full mechanical and utility data are confirmed from the official specification sheet after representative sample testing.
Buyer questions
What buyers ask before specifying an FR-XRT Pro.
Careful, sample-led answers on fusion sorting, elemental analysis limits, and what to send for a sample review.
How is FR-XRT Pro different from FR-XRT?
FR-XRT uses Dual-Energy XRT as the main decision signal. FR-XRT Pro adds high-resolution RGB imaging so density response, color, texture and shape can be reviewed together.
When should a customer choose FR-XRT Pro?
Choose FR-XRT Pro when the material stream is complex and one signal is not enough — for example ASR, IBA, e-waste, wire harness, PCB-related streams or heavy non-ferrous fractions with useful visual differences.
Can FR-XRT Pro separate copper and brass?
It may be configured for copper / brass differentiation where visual color and surface features are useful, but performance depends on oxidation, dirt, coating, particle presentation and representative testing.
Can FR-XRT Pro recover stainless steel from IBA or ASR?
Stainless steel recovery can be reviewed for IBA or ASR streams, but results depend on particle size, ash coverage, presentation, density contrast, surface condition and reject strategy.
Does FR-XRT Pro replace XRF or LIBS?
Not universally. FR-XRT Pro is a fusion sorting platform using XRT and RGB. If strict elemental-grade separation is required, additional technologies such as XRF or LIBS may need to be reviewed.
What samples should be sent?
Send real feed material, target recovered materials, rejects, borderline pieces, dirty or oxidized pieces, coated pieces and the actual production particle size range.
