No. First segregate materials with meaningful value differences. Remove motors, cables, stainless and aluminium before grading the remaining ferrous material. Compare the incremental revenue from separation against labour, handling, storage and delayed cash realization. The objective is economically optimal sorting, not maximum sorting.
