    Brief

    The Royal Mint is seeking an X-Ray Transmission (XRT) sorting facility to enhance tantalum recovery from electronic waste processing. The system will concentrate tantalum-bearing capacitors from mixed electronic components and broken ferrite materials in the 8-2mm size range, integrating into an existing processing workflow. This opportunity is ideal for suppliers of advanced sorting and material recovery equipment who can provide a reliable, efficient XRT solution capable of handling loose electronic waste streams and improving tantalum extraction rates.
