TOMRA\u2019s latest breakthrough AI technology to improve plastics sorting accuracy, GAINnext\u2122 leverages deep learning capabilities to make it possible to sort objects which could not be separated by traditional methods. Combined with industry leading AUTOSORT\u2122 technology, GAINnext\u2122 classifies material based on sensor data, separating materials with high purity levels without compromising throughput speed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

One of the most recent applications for GAINnext\u2122 aids in creating a pure recyclable PET fraction by removing difficult-to-detect plastic contaminants, such as multilayer packaging, to create a clean PET bottle stream. Leveraging AI, the PET cleaner application targets the separation of white opaque PET from clear and light blue PET, which, until now, was difficult to solve with traditional technology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest in flake sorting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Delivering high-throughput purification of plastic flakes, the new INNOSORT\u2122 FLAKE\u2019s feature enhancements enable simultaneous flake sorting by polymer, color and transparency, achieving unmatched quality with high throughput and maximum yield. Its advanced near-infrared (NIR) spectrometer detects polymers from contaminated infeed, so mixed plastics are sorted into clean PET, polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE) and other fractions for extrusion. Enhanced optics with changeable color background and dual-sided high-resolution cameras detect millions of colors to create single-color fractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For high-end applications like bottle-to-bottle recycling where contamination of the infeed material is low, but quality requirements are high, TOMRA Recycling offers the AUTOSORT\u2122 FLAKE sorter. It features a powerful combination of NIR spectrometer, full color camera and metal sensor to deliver simultaneous material, color and metal detection and achieve both extremely high purity and stable throughput. A high sensitivity electromagnetic sensor detects and removes the smallest ferrous and non-ferrous metals contaminants down to 1 mm (0.04 in) with maximum precision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The complete solution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Flake sorting efficiency is enhanced with consistent, quality plastic feed material. TOMRA Recycling team members will explain how the TOMRA AUTOSORT\u2122 sets the stage for successful flake sorting by accurately presorting material at high throughput rates. Compact, highly flexible and upgradable, AUTOSORT\u2122 combines the latest TOMRA technologies to deliver advanced accuracy for complex sorting tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This includes TOMRA SHARP EYE\u2122 technology, which increases light efficiency while maintaining the same energy consumption to improve the separation of difficult-to-target fractions. Patented advanced FLYING BEAM\u2122 sensing technology offers better light efficiency to enable higher performance at lower costs. Its compact design enables flexible and easy installation, while the enhanced light signal efficiency results in improved detection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TOMRA Recycling will also highlight how the TOMRA Insight platform turns sorting machines into connected devices that generate process data. Users can access this near-real-time data anywhere at any time via a secure connection with a user-friendly interface on desktops and mobile devices. It provides digital metrics like throughput, material distribution across the belt, accept and rejection rates, and more to give operators the critical operating data to optimize sorting performance.<\/p>\n\n\n
