a more valuable output.
01 — THE TECHNOLOGY
Air. Sand. Gravity.
Separation made clear.
SandFlo uses an aerated sand bed to separate prepared non-ferrous metals according to density.
02
Let density decide
Air fluidises the circulating sand. Lighter metals stay higher; denser metals sink deeper.
03
Recover the fractions
Separate flights collect the lighter and heavier metals while sand recirculates.
THE RESULT
Separate lighter aluminium from denser copper, brass and zinc fractions.

Does SandFlo use water?
No. It is a dry separation process using an aerated bed of sand.
Can it remove bonded plastic or coatings?
No. SandFlo separates by density; it does not remove bonded materials.
What feed should I discuss with the team?
Describe the metal mix, size range, moisture, contaminants and desired output. This helps the team plan a useful trial.
How do I assess suitability?
Start with your material. Ask BlakerTech about a sample test before deciding on a system.
