Varisort This optical sorting system, which includes state-of-the-art controls, a conveyor and an air-control unit, has advanced sensor technology for metal, color and detection of polymer type. Both two-chute and three-chute sorting tasks are possible on one sorter.

What's new? A bigger working width of about 9 feet and upgrades to the software for the system, which originally was released in the U.S. in 2007. The upgraded system will debut in Munich from May 30 to June 3 at IFAT, a trade fair for water, sewage, waste and raw materials management.

Benefits Low maintenance and energy costs and a high level of customizability. The upgrades allow higher throughput rates. In addition, with the control software, operators can make product-specific adjustments.
