Combined off-color and metal separator for plastic recycling S S Separation and Sorting Technology

VARISORT CME-P - Combined colour and metal separation system for plastics recycling applications (material fed by conveyor)

The VARISORT CME-P combined colour and metal separator is designed for use in the plastics recycling industry to remove metal (cans, foil-lined Tetrapaks etc) and off-colour contaminants (bottles, cups etc) from plastic bulk materials. The material to be inspected is spread out on a fast-moving conveyor so that the pieces are optimally individualised before they reach the inspection area of the multi-channel metal detector. If a contaminant is detected its exact location is determined. Electronics evaluate this position and ejection nozzles are activated with pinpoint accuracy and at precisely the right time to blow out the contaminant. The ejection nozzles are so precise that the metal and off-colour contaminants are removed with very little loss of good material and without any interruption to the material flow.

Advantages:
• removes metal, metal composites and inclusions
• removes contaminants with pinpoint accuracy
• modular design
• evaluation of the entire visible light spectrum
• self-teaching evaluation electronics

Typical applications:
• removes cans from lightweight packaging
• removes off-colour plastic bottles
• removes metals/off-colours from specialized plastics
