Chute sorting systems for recycling plastics and glass
Efficient recycling of mixed materials like plastic flakes and glass fragments often requires precise contaminant removal to ensure high-quality output. Common challenges include separating different material types and eliminating impurities without extensive manual sorting.

Efficiently separate mixed recyclables.
The recycling sorting systems with chute by Sesotec offer a solution for removing contaminants from pre-shredded materials such as plastic flakes and glass fragments. Using high-resolution CCD cameras, near-infrared sensors, and inductive metal detectors, these systems analyze and sort material based on color, shape, and type. The modular design allows for the combination of up to three sensors and the smart operating software SesoDesk processes sensor information efficiently. The systems feature an optimized inlet chute for even material distribution and higher throughput. They are designed for easy operation and maintenance with a touch display interface. These systems are particularly suited for applications in plastic and glass recycling industries, including PET, HDPE, and mixed plastic flakes as well as container and flat glass recycling.
