Aurubis Commissions Advanced Automated Recycling System at Lunen Plant

Aurubis, a leading supplier of non-ferrous metals, has successfully commissioned a state-of-the-art automated system at its Lunen plant, setting new standards in the recycling industry. The company invested a mid-single-digit-million-euro amount in this innovative system, which automates the sample preparation of feed materials such as e-scrap using cutting-edge robotics.

The new system significantly enhances efficiency by delivering reliable samples to the laboratory in just an hour. This marks a substantial improvement over the previous manual process, which involved up to 12 stages and could take as long as five days. The automation not only accelerates the sample preparation process but also ensures greater accuracy and reliability in the analysis.

This investment underscores Aurubis's commitment to innovation and sustainability in the recycling sector, enhancing its capabilities to process e-scrap more efficiently and effectively. The implementation of such advanced technologies demonstrates the company's leadership in the non-ferrous metal industry and its dedication to continuously improving its operations.
