Plastics sorting

Product catalog summary

Overview: REDWAVE, a division of BT-Wolfgang Binder GmbH, specializes in sensor-based sorting technology for plastics recycling. The technology is designed to improve the quality and value of recycled materials by efficiently sorting various types of waste.

Applications: The system is applicable for sorting household waste, industrial waste, electronic scrap, refuse-derived fuel (RDF), and solid recovered fuel (SRF). It effectively eliminates unwanted materials such as chloride compounds (PVC), flame retardant plastics, paper, wood, and metals, while enhancing the quality of bottles, films, biodegradable plastics, and flakes.

Functional Principle: REDWAVE systems utilize high-performance machines that sort plastics by scanning materials on an acceleration belt. Identified materials matching set parameters are ejected using high-speed valves and air jets. The system's flexibility allows for high sorting accuracy and throughput, increasing the material's value and profitability.

Characteristics: The technology features the latest sorting advancements, ensuring high reliability, efficiency, and user-friendliness. It is low-maintenance and offers remote maintenance capabilities, providing high sorting accuracy at substantial throughputs.

Sensor Systems: REDWAVE employs various sensor systems for different tasks:

Line Scan Camera (REDWAVE C): For color recognition and separation.
Near Infrared (NIR) (REDWAVE NIR): For material recognition and separation.
Multi Sensor (REDWAVE NIR/C): For simultaneous separation of different materials and colors.
X-Ray Fluorescence (REDWAVE XRF): For recognition and separation based on element distribution and fluorescence spectrum.
Inductive Metal Detector: For eliminating ferrous and nonferrous metals based on conductivity.

Technical Specifications: The sorting systems accommodate size ranges from 5 mm to 300 mm and working widths from 800 mm to 2,800 mm. They include belt and gravity sorters, with 2-way and 3-way systems, acceleration belts, sensors, light sources, ejection units, and driven divider plates.

[p Driven divider plate REDUJRVE REDWAVE is a flexible operating system with applications in a variety of fields, especially for the plastics industry. No matter how complex the sorting task, the REDWAVE range of sorting equipment can achieve the highest levels of purity. Functional principle of REDWAVE: REDWAVE systems are high-performance machines for plastics sorting. Plastic containers, films, flakes, etc. are constantly fed over the entire sorting width by an acceleration belt. The materials are scanned and if identified as a match to the set parameters a signal is sent to the ejection units....
