Integrated optical sorting unit for lightweight materials

Optimize your processing of lightweight materials by achieving precise and high-speed separation, ensuring superior purity of recyclables such as plastic foils and paper sheets.

Precisely Sorts and Separates Lightweight Materials

The Opti-Sort Integrated Optical Sorting Unit from Bollegraaf stands out for its innovative approach to handling lightweight materials like flexible plastic packaging and single sheets of paper. This unit utilizes a patented curved ejection hood design, ensuring precise control of materials within its high-speed operation capability of up to 6.5 m/s. By combining the Bollegraaf Speed conveyor with a laminar air flow displacement unit, the Opti-Sort achieves seamless material separation, enhancing the purity and recovery of processed waste materials. Ideal for recycling and waste management applications, it efficiently processes plastic, paper, and cardboard waste into end products such as recycled plastic foils and de-inked paper. Designed for continuous operation, this equipment minimizes installation time, integrates easily into existing lines, and offers modularity for future upgrades. The Opti-Sort aligns with the needs of waste management companies and recycling facilities focused on maximizing operational performance and material recovery rates.

Benefits

  • Enhances material purity by reducing contamination in recycled streams.
  • Improves recovery rates of lightweight packaging materials by precise trajectory control.
  • Minimizes installation time with a fully integrated and modular design.
  • Supports high-speed operations up to 6.5 m/s without balance issues.
  • Offers flexibility to adapt to specific processing needs with customizable ejection valve configurations.
