Recycling sorter AUTOSORT®

industrialopticalline

Overview
AUTOSORT® is a sensor-based, multifunction sorting system designed for integration into new or existing processing lines. The system combines modular hardware and configurable sensor assemblies to deliver stable sorting performance, consistent detection across the belt width and simplified maintenance.

Key features

• Modular sensor configuration supporting combinations of optical, NIR and laser modules
• Homogeneous light distribution across the conveyor for uniform detection
• FLYING BEAM™ scanning for high-efficiency signal capture
• SHARP EYE™, GAINnext™ and DEEP LAISER™ detection technologies
• Integrated Calibration Technology™ for continuous in-situ sensor calibration
• Compact, modular chassis for retrofit and new installations

Performance and functionality
The system is engineered to maintain stable sorting throughput and purity over extended operation periods. Integrated calibration and a protected scanner-box reduce external influence on sensors. Optional sensor packages extend identification to difficult fractions such as black polymers. System software supports local control and data export for process optimisation.

Optional add-ons and digital services

• Cloud-based monitoring and analytics via TOMRA Insight for remote performance tracking
• Real-time Integrated Calibration Technology™ as an optional feature

Applications

• Plastics (flakes, packaging, post-consumer polymers)
• E-scrap / electronic waste recovery
• Wood and wood chips
• Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and single-stream recycling
• Paper and packaging recovery
• Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF)
• Commercial and industrial waste
• Textiles and specialised waste streams
