Sorting conveyor systems for recyclables
Efficiently sort and reclaim diverse materials from mixed waste streams with high-speed, multi-sensor capabilities, enhancing resource recovery and purity while seamlessly integrating into continuous recycling operations.

Sorts and Separates Recyclable Materials Efficiently
The VARISORT+ from Sesotec is a versatile multi-sensor sorting system designed for comprehensive recycling applications. What sets the VARISORT+ apart is its ability to efficiently segregate mixed material streams into pure fractions using an array of sensors, including color, shape, metal, and near-infrared. It can handle various materials such as recycled PET flakes, HDPE pellets, and clear glass cullets with ease, achieving high purity levels for diverse end-products like aluminum scrap bales and purified steel sheets.
Capable of high-speed, continuous operation, the modular system integrates seamlessly into existing lines, supported by its intuitive touchscreen navigation. It optimizes energy efficiency with reduced compressed air and electricity use. Additionally, the VARISORT+ can be customized with up to three sensors and is available with options for different materials to enhance durability and corrosion resistance.
The design facilitates quick integration and maintenance, featuring retrofittable sensors and robust wear protection, ideal for diverse industries including recycling, plastics, and waste management. With engineering support available, it can be tailored to specific processing needs, ensuring it not only meets but exceeds industry demands for precise sorting and material recovery.
