Optimize optical sorter performance
In recycling facilities, maintaining high efficiency in sorting materials is crucial for operational success. Optical sorters often face challenges with throughput and material purity, especially when dealing with lighter materials or mixed streams. Enhancing these systems can lead to significant improvements in sorting accuracy and productivity.
Improves throughput and material purity
The Bollegraaf Aerobooster is a system designed to optimize the performance of optical sorters, especially for lighter materials. It enhances throughput and material purity by creating a laminar air displacement over the accelerator belt. This air flow ensures materials are stabilized and accelerated to the belt speed, which can be up to 4.6 m/s on standard conveyors and up to 6.5 m/s on the Bollegraaf Opti-Sort conveyors. The Aerobooster’s compact design allows for easy retrofit onto existing sorting lines and includes a user-friendly interface for quick adjustment of air flow. This system can increase the capacity of optical separators by up to 20% and improve purity by up to 10%, resulting in less required quality control and a noticeable production boost.
