Harita Metal Co., Ltd, one of the most sophisticated metal recycling companies in Japan, are enhancing a high grade (horizontal) material recycling and has started a national project in order to achieve mutual separation of the scrap aluminum alloys by combining “ARENNA” sorter and LIBS sorter, in corporation with university, national research institute. We also intend to establish precise and energy saving sensor based sorting process for all the scrap metals and metal alloys, the process of which could replace a part of conventional energy consuming smelting processes.Harita Metal Co., Ltd. will continue to try more precise mutual separation among various scrap aluminum alloys .It will greatly contribute to the realization of horizontal recycling of vehicles and will be a major step toward achieving recycling.
