Under the motto “Economy meets Ecology”, Sesotec GmbH and its partner company KRS Recycling Systems GmbH will once again be represented at IFAT 2024, which takes place in Munich from May 13 to 17. At the joint stand in Hall B5, Stand 415/514, the two companies will be presenting the latest developments in the field of sorting plastics and glass. Visitors will have the opportunity to experience the innovations live at the stand.
As one of the leading suppliers of sorting systems, Sesotec will be presenting the newly developed VARISORT+ FILM film sorter, a modular system based on the proven features of the VARISORT+ family of machines. A new feature of the VARISORT+ FILM is a specially generated laminar air flow, which enables optimum conveying of flexible packaging and films. The materials are stabilized and can be reliably identified and sorted. Another innovative feature of the VARISORT+ FILM is the aerodynamically designed separator housing, which prevents the air turbulence that usually impairs sorting efficiency, thus ensuring efficient sorting.
Sorting with artificial intelligence (AI)
Sesotec engineers have developed innovative evaluation methods based on artificial intelligence for the sorting systems. By using “OBJECT-AI”, impurities that were previously difficult to identify can be reliably detected in the material flow and efficiently sorted out by the blow nozzles. With the help of “NIR-AI”, it is possible to precisely differentiate between different polymers. This leads to increased accuracy and adaptability of the sorting processes, especially for mixed plastics and plastics with additives. The new AI approaches will also be used for other sorting tasks in the future, such as in the area of electrical and electronic waste.
