Overview
REDWAVE, a division of BT-Wolfgang Binder GmbH, specializes in sensor-based sorting machines for paper recycling. Their technology focuses on recovering valuable paper grades and removing contaminants to meet high industry standards for de-inked paper.
Applications
The REDWAVE paper sorting technology is designed to recover various paper types such as white office paper, news, magazines, catalogues, woodfree paper, and kraft paper. It effectively removes contaminants like brown and gray cardboard, corrugated cardboard, synthetic papers, plastics, metals, and more.
Technology and FeaturesREDWAVE systems utilize Near Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and high-resolution RGB cameras to identify and separate different materials and colors in a single sorting step. The systems are equipped with features like acceleration belt
conveyors, sensor and light sources, ejection units, and driven divider idlers. They also include an inductive metal detector for removing ferrous and nonferrous metals.
Plant Solutions
REDWAVE offers comprehensive plant solutions that include feeding systems, separation of oversized corrugated cardboard (OCC), fine material separation, conveying technology, pressing technology, and dedusting and pneumatic systems. The REDWAVE PMCS provides continuous monitoring and control of the process, offering quality reports on material classes and contamination content.
Customer Benefits
The REDWAVE systems provide high sorting accuracy at high throughputs, flexibility in sorting programs, user-friendly operation, low maintenance, and increased material value and profitability. They are proven systems for achieving the highest grades of paper recycling.
Technical Specifications
The working width ranges from 1,000 to 2,800 mm, with size ranges from 4 to 600 mm depending on the application. The systems are designed to separate valuable paper fractions with high purity levels.
Functional Principle
REDWAVE systems process recovered paper efficiently by scanning and separating materials based on set parameters. Real-time signals are sent to high-speed valves to separate materials, with the number of valves activated depending on the particle size.
