APPLICATION PROFILE

The range of machines designed for identification of plastics and automatic sorting into different plastic types by using infrared radiation.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The material to be sorted is fed with a vibratory conveyor or belt conveyor (depending on the sorter type). The infrared sensor system immediately detects and determines location of a contaminant. The signal is processed by the controller equipped with data evaluation electronics that activates the suitable nozzle of the integrated ejection system. As a result a contaminant is removed with very little loss of good material from the material stream.

APPLICATIONS

• Separates foreign plastics (PVC, PLA) from PET and HD-PE flakes
• Sorts PCV and PET bottles
• Separates foreign plastics from HD-PE bottles
• Separates foreign plastics from light packaging (LVP type)

ADVANTAGES

• Evaluation in 128 wavelengths
• Guarantees highest product purity of recycled material
• Possibility for a user of free selection of the separated polymer type
• Intelligent data evaluation electronics
• High-speed valves of ejection nozzles
• Modular design

EXTENSIONS

VISUTEC visualisation and remote maintenance system
Possibility of extension with the selective detector system for metal detection
Possibility of extension with the optical camera system for detection of different colour plastics
