REDWAVE XRF + Spectral Analysis: The Future of Pure Scrap Sorting

XRF
REDWAVE is pushing the boundaries of scrap metal sorting using XRF with spectral analysis to deliver sharper, cleaner separation of cast parts containing copper and zinc.

Today’s metal recyclers face high-stakes challenges: stricter environmental standards, tighter downstream tolerances, and increasing pressure to optimize every ton. That’s why we’ve finetuned our system to accurately detect and remove cast components from mixed fractions in the 1.6″–7″ range. Early trials show near-complete extraction of copper- and zinc-bearing castings, with only a few edge cases requiring tailored programs—which are already in the works.

Our AI-driven XRF with spectral analysis platform doesn’t just detect elements—it interprets full spectral curves to distinguish between cast and wrought alloys. What does that mean for you? Cleaner melts, fewer rejections, and better returns. Say goodbye to misclassification from manual sorting and juggling multiple applications—one solution does it all.

And we’re not stopping there. Our aftersales team supports system calibration, remote diagnostics, and predictive maintenance—ensuring long-term performance and ROI. With continuous refinement underway for smaller particle sizes, REDWAVE’s XRF with spectral analysis is setting a new standard in intelligent metal recovery.

We don’t just follow industry demands – we anticipate them. REDWAVE is committed to smarter sorting, deeper customization, and future-ready solutions that evolve with your business.
