About 3SMI
3SMI GmbH, based in Haar near Munich, specializes in sorting and separation technologies and supports companies from consulting through conceptual design to the implementation of customized solutions. Its offering includes optical and NIR sensor-based sorting with the FENIX sorter, magnetic separation for separating ferrous materials, eddy-current-based separation of non-ferrous metals such as aluminium and copper, and metal detection for removing metallic contaminants from product streams. According to the company, the team can draw on more than 40 years of experience with machine vision systems; previously, the company operated for decades as a direct sales partner of a well-known industrial magnet manufacturer, among other things in cooperation with Bunting. The systems are used primarily in the mining and mineral processing industry, the ceramics industry and the recycling industry, to process material streams, protect downstream equipment from damage and ensure product quality. Contact and sales languages are German and English.
