AMVT enhances optical sorter

May 3, 2016
Using dual near-infrared vision technology, or NIR, this optical sorter makes it possible to separate plastic flakes, pellets and regrind according to composition rather than by color.

LI-120 Using dual near-infrared vision technology, or NIR, this optical sorter makes it possible to separate plastic flakes, pellets and regrind according to composition rather than by color. Applications include sorting mixed bottle flakes made up of materials such as PET and PVC.

What's new? Upgrades to the machine that have doubled its throughput. The machine, which was updated in October 2015, has been used by U.S. manufacturers for about one year. It was introduced in Asia about three years ago.

Benefits Efficient sorting and high throughput at a cost-effective price. The machine's advanced vision system ensures greater purity and less production loss. AMVT says the system can achieve 90 percent to 98 percent accuracy in PVC sorting.
