This thesis shows the development of a singulation process for steel scrap particles. This singulation process is part of a sorting line that can sort scrap into different alloy types. This is an essential step in making steel a fully circular product. The new designs are based on an already existing chute used for aluminium singulation. In the report, the scrap properties and their behaviour on the aluminium chute are analysed. These insights are used to create three new designs for a chute that can be used for steel singulation. To evaluate these designs, a Discrete Element Method (DEM) model was used.
