Recycling plants are facing a growing challenge: waste streams are becoming more complex, more contaminated, and less predictable. This is particularly true in industrial recycling environments, including lead-acid battery recycling plants, where incoming material often combines metals, plastics, rubber, and non-processable fractions. Traditional mechanical separation and manual sorting alone are ...
Every Crop Is Different, and So Is Our Approach No two harvests are ever the same. Soil types, climate, and storage conditions vary, retail standards evolve, and sustainability expectations are rising. For processors, these shifts can mean fluctuating crop size, shape, density, and finish, all of which impact line performance. We design equipment that doesn’t just perform; it adapts. ...
The global transition toward renewable energy infrastructure, electric vehicle charging networks, and smart grid technologies has dramatically increased aluminum cable usage while simultaneously creating substantial opportunities for specialized recycling operations. Unlike traditional copper-based systems, aluminum cables present unique processing challenges and recovery opportunities that ...
Moisture is removed through pressing and drying, followed by optical sorting to separate coloured flakes from clear ones. The clear flakes are then used to produce plastic sheets, which can later be turned into new packaging. ...
This shift isn’t just about environmental responsibility; it represents a fundamental rethinking of resource efficiency that’s rewriting project economics from the ground up.Modern recycling protocols now allow up to 90% of construction and demolition debris to be repurposed, with advanced sorting technologies creating high-value secondary materials. From crushed concrete ...
The scale of the task means that manual sorting is slow, costly, and inefficient. However, thanks to technological advances, everything we discard—and that used to end up abandoned in landfills—can now be identified, selected, sorted, and analysed at high speed and with great precision, thanks to optical sorters and recycling robots, some of ...
Clean MRFs receive pre-sorted recyclable materials and further classify them for commercialization. ...
Continual improvement. That's what Visser Agro in Wieringerwerf is all about. Arable farmer Sierd Visser grows his seed potatoes and onions in a nature-inclusive and energy-neutral manner. Additionally, he invests in efficiency and quality. He is part of the group contributing to the development of the Optica Q, Schouten's optical quality sorter. "Sharing knowledge is very normal for us. By ...
A sunny spring day in Wieringerwerf, North-Holland. The Knibbe family is sitting opposite of us, on appropriate distance of course. Openly, we speak with the brothers Jim, Luke and Nico about their company, the motives behind choosing for the Schouten Optica and of course their experiences with the Optica. Within a short period of time their parents David & Jolanda will take a step back, ...
For more complex waste compositions, additional equipment such as sorting machines, wind shifter, and optical sorters can be integrated to enhance fuel quality. ...
Thanks to an efficient collection and sorting system, Germany recovers about 75% of its textile waste for reuse and recycling, according to the German Federation of the Textile and Fashion Industry. ...
It is consumers who are demanding change, as noted in the Sorting for Circularity USA report presented by the textile innovation platform Fashion For Good (FFG).This FFG report reveals that 56% of textile waste in the U.S. is suitable for recycling and argues that ignoring this potential results in an annual economic loss of $1.5 billion. ...
Grain cleaner or as it is also called - sorter, grain cleaner, trier. is a specially designed machine for a single task - cleaning grain and various crops. As far back as 1313, ancient China pioneered the use of a rotating fan that created an airflow to separate chaff from grain, but this was still a long way from the separator in the form we are used to today The first grain cleaner with ...

In the industrial sector, advanced sorting and separation technologies using artificial intelligence and computer vision are making a significant impact. ...
Well-established collection systems, efficient recycling plant facilities with innovative sorting and shredding systems must be complemented by state-of-the-art technology. ...
In contrast, plastics labeled 3, 6 and 7 should not be used due to their content of harmful components such as PVC, polycarbonate, BPA and other single-use plastics harmful to health. Leading the market in sorting and recycling solutions, PICVISA offers innovative products for sorting and detecting all types of plastics. Thus, ECOPACK is an ...
In this way it is possible to prevent them from ending up in the environment. As a leader in sorting and recycling, PICVISA has the best solutions for sorting and detecting all types of plastics. Among them it is worth mentioning ECOPACK. This optical separator makes it possible to automatically sort and separate different types ...
In Spain, according to Ecovidrio, the rate reached 70.1%; 90% of the recovered glass packaging waste is collected from the green container and sorted at the source, ensuring high-quality recycling. San Sebastián—at 38.3 kg per inhabitant—leads the ranking of citizen contribution to the selective collection of this type of packaging. ...
Innovative solutions such as those applied by Esposito, a leading Italian company in the production of management and sorting equipment for used clothing, will be featured. Recently, they signed a contract with us to implement a groundbreaking automated garment sorting line by composition and color at their facility in Marcianise. With this new installation, ...
