Review on Design and Manufacturing of Metal & Non-metal Sorting Using Metal Detector

In recent years, sorting of scrap material using various automated techniques has gained a lot of focus. One of the multiple steps in the recycling of non-ferrous metals is the separation of shredded material into different groups. In our project, we propose the concept of “Metal & Non-metal Sorting Using Metal Detector”. This system of sorting products is optimized to differentiate between metal & non-metals product, which is done with the help of a metal detector. A continuous conveyor belt carries the different products, and with the help of a control motor it separates metal from non-metal. In a nutshell, this system consists of a metal sensor. When the conveyor belt carries the products, it goes through a metal detector, if it’s a metal product the control motor separates it with the help of a bar and the skipped product goes further to another container for non-metal. GSM technique is also introduced for mobiles messaging. The counter displays the metal count. This project is useful in automobile industries, steel plants and industry for separation of metal and non-metal element in the industry on a large basis. It can also be used for waste management so also beneficial for the environment.
