Smart recycling systems

The waste and metal recycling sectors are among the largest users of sorting machines. Increasing focus on sustainability and circular economy goals is driving demand for automated waste sorting systems that improve material recovery. Our sorting machines are also used in metal recycling, separating valuable fractions from scrap to enhance productivity and reduce environmental impact.

Technical solutions for different waste categories

construction

and demolition waste

Sorting systems separate concrete, asphalt, wood, and metal directly from mixed debris. Precise detection improves material recovery while cutting landfill volumes and transport costs.

commercial waste

Optical sorters process packaging, paper, and film from mixed commercial streams. Stable output quality reduces manual picks and lowers overall processing costs.

household waste

AI-driven sorting machines classify plastics, paper, glass, and metals in municipal lines. Consistent detection ensures cleaner fractions, higher recovery rates, and fewer contamination issues.

Setting category criteria

The sorter compares objects to user-defined accept/reject criteria to identify and remove defective products and foreign material (FM) from the production line, or to separate product of different grades or types of materials.

Recognizing pieces with the camera

Depending on the types of sensors used and the software-driven intelligence of the image processing system, optical sorters can recognize an object's characteristics:

color

size

shape

strucaral properties

chemical composition

Sorting into 2+ segments

Compared to manual sorting, which is subjective and inconsistent, optical sorting helps improve product quality, maximize throughput and increase yields while reducing labor costs.

Uploading material to tape

Loading material onto the belt. The material requires the simplest preparation - initial crushing, so as not to damage the machine.

Separation with grids

Materials are categorized according to their size. The overall flow flies through several stages, each characterized by the size of the hole in the mesh into which the material can fall.
