Zorba & Shred
Precision Sorting
Mixed non-ferrous scrap — Zorba — is only as valuable as how well you can separate it. ρ-MATRIQS™ identifies individual alloy grades and metal types, turning a low-value mixed stream into high-value sorted fractions.
Mixed Zorba Is the Worst Price You Can Get for Non-Ferrous
Every mixed kilogram sold as Zorba contains Cu, Al, Zn, Pb, and stainless — each worth a different price. Selling them together means the buyer discounts the blend for contamination risk. ρ-MATRIQS™ removes that discount by separating the blend at the source.

From Zorba fraction separation to aluminium alloy grading — each capability unlocks a specific price premium that mixed-sale operations leave unrealised.
Full Zorba Separation
Separates the twelve standard Zorba fractions — aluminium grades, copper wire, zinc die-cast, lead weights, stainless offcuts, and brass. Each fraction goes to the right buyer at the right price.
Aluminium Alloy Grading
Distinguishes between wrought and cast aluminium, and between individual alloy series — 1xxx, 3xxx, 5xxx, 6xxx, and so on. Wrought alloys command a significant premium over mixed cast material.
Copper Quality Grading
Grades copper wire and solids by purity level — separating LME Grade A copper from lower-grade material. Identifies tinned, coated, or alloyed copper that requires separate processing.
Harsh Environment Operation
IP69K rated and operating in positive-pressure enclosures. All sensor readings are automatically corrected for dust loading — so accuracy does not degrade in the shredder hall environment.
Construction & Demolition Scrap
Identifies aluminium window profiles, copper plumbing, and mixed metals from demolition scrap. Separates coated from bare aluminium — where coating removal significantly affects smelting yield.
Eddy Current Integration
Works alongside or replaces traditional eddy current separators — with the added ability to identify specific alloy grades within the non-ferrous fraction, not just separate ferrous from non-ferrous.
Eight Aluminium Grades. One Belt Pass.
Most systems separate aluminium from non-aluminium. ρ-MATRIQS™ separates aluminium from itself — identifying the individual alloy series in a single belt pass, using laser chemistry and density cross-verification.
Before and After ρ-MATRIQS™
The price differential between mixed Zorba and separated, certified fractions is what ρ-MATRIQS™ captures. These are not efficiency gains — they are revenue that was always there, but unreachable without particle-level identification.
❌ Without ρ-MATRIQS™
- ✗Mixed Zorba sold as a single low-value bulk commodity
- ✗Wrought and cast aluminium blended — wrought premium lost
- ✗Copper grades co-mingled — LME Grade A value not captured
- ✗Zinc die-cast contaminating aluminium fractions at smelter
- ✗Manual sorting accuracy degrades above 80 TPD throughput
- ✗No compliance records — no EPR documentation per lot
✓ With ρ-MATRIQS™
- ✓12 Zorba fractions separated — each routed to highest-value buyer
- ✓Wrought / cast Al distinguished — premium captured per tonne
- ✓Grade A copper separated — LME spot price realised, not discount
- ✓Zinc die-cast identified and removed before Al fraction is shipped
- ✓Automated at full belt speed — accuracy maintained at 200 TPD+
- ✓EPR lot certificate auto-issued per sorted fraction, per shift
The price premium is in the identification. ρ-MATRIQS™ makes that identification possible at belt speed.
What This Looks Like on a Real Zorba Line
Every Fraction Is
a Compliance Record
EPR certificates, CPCB return data, and ESG chain-of-custody are generated automatically as a by-product of every sort decision. No separate data entry. No compliance staff overhead.
- ✓CPCB Annual Return data auto-generated from daily lot records
- ✓EPR certificate auto-issued per sorted Zorba fraction, per shift
- ✓Full lot traceability — shredder intake to certified buyer
- ✓CO₂ per tonne tracked per fraction stream — Panchamrit-ready
- ✓Export-ready: PDF, CSV, API — for CPCB, investors, and auditors
Every record is immutable, timestamped, and signed. CPCB inspector asks for documentation — your team exports from the dashboard. Nothing to assemble manually.
