Sorting System Facilitates High End Recycling

A completely new development used in the recycling of thin-sheet, container and flat glass, the K9 Flash from S+S Separation and Sorting Technology can separate unwanted colour particles and ceramics, stones and porcelain (CSP) from the cullet flow with a minimal loss of good material. It can also detect and remove special glasses, such as Ceran. The space-efficient design is conductive to minimal glass breakage and features new specific light technology. These features allow for a higher throughput capacity with precise detection. The system identifies contaminants and glass by colour and will remove "out of specification" glass from the material flow that is indistinguishable to the human eye. Up to 9 different wavelength ranges can be scanned by the system. This allows the ID of colour, CSP and heat-resistant special glass. Unwanted material is removed from the material flow by air-ejection nozzles operating within one millisecond. For more information, please visit: www.sesotec.com
