Avantes delivers advanced LIBS spectroscopy solutions tailored for the demands of modern metal recycling. Our high-resolution, fiber-coupled spectrometers enable precise identification of metal alloys in real time—critical for efficient sorting, contamination reduction, and maintaining material quality. Designed for high-throughput environments, Avantes systems support improved process control and traceability while advancing sustainability goals in the circular economy.
As global demand for aluminum surges, one recycling facility faced the challenge of scaling production while meeting increasingly strict sustainability goals. Accurate alloy sorting and ensuring the quality of recycled materials were critical hurdles in their path toward a truly circular economy.
To solve these issues, the team turned to Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS)—a technology known for its fast, precise elemental analysis. At the core of their upgraded process was a solution from Avantes, whose high-resolution spectrometers are specifically designed for LIBS applications in demanding industrial environments.
With Avantes’ rugged and customizable spectrometer platform integrated into their recycling line, the facility achieved more accurate aluminum alloy identification, reduced material contamination, and significantly improved the efficiency of their sorting process. Backed by over 25 years of expertise in LIBS, Avantes proved to be more than a vendor—they became a long-term partner in the customer’s mission for cleaner, smarter aluminum recycling.
Now, with improved yield and quality, the company is not only meeting global demand but doing so in a way that actively supports the principles of a sustainable circular economy.
