Polymers and Colors optical sorting at Foreverplast - Italy

Forever Plast S.p.A has launched a new optical sorting plant that sorts all types of color, without producing any waste. The plant includes a line of seven optical sorting machines, five of which are SEA.IQ PLUS and two are the SEA.HY model. The line is designed to sort polyethylene from polypropylene and other polymers, as well as execute with precision the separation into different streams of color. The two SEA.HY machines are dedicated to polymer sorting, separating PP and PE with the help of the NIR/SWIR technology equipped cameras operating in the infrared spectrum checking the chemical signature of the flakes. The additional five SEA.IQ PLUS machines are programmed to sort exclusively by color, thanks to a set of RGBN based cameras with an advanced ability to distinguish infinitesimal shades of color. This targeted sequence of optical sorters and the output it creates is revolutionary in the plastic recycling sector.
