MikroSort - Model AX -Glass Sorting System
The MikroSort AX is specially designed for the sorting of big quantities of rejected material and strongly impurified recycled hollow glass ware within a particle range of 5 to 60 mm.
Recycling Glass
Recycling glass makes different demands on the automatic sorting system. The material is hardly ever washed, it is often wet due to outdoor storage and contains, in addition to the actual undesired colors and CSP (ceramic material/stones/porcelain), a lot of other fine material, paper and organic residues. For the end product, however, even the finest differences must be detected, i.e. it must be possible to tell white from light green, ceramic fragments from white glass with paper labels and chocolate residues from brown glass.
In order to meet these requirements, the material is detected in free fall and by means of a special illumination. Contamination by fine material and paper is minimized by appropriate measures and all relevant areas are equipped with automatic cleaning systems.
As such, the sorting stays very stable on a high level, even under unfavorable conditions.
- Inexpensive sorting of strongly contaminated, broken recycling glass by color and brightness is possible (AX).
- Slightest color differences (e.g. white and half white, window pane and vitrophyre glass) are reliably detected and are available as sorting parameters (AL).
- Rejection rates of up to 50% (white glass from mixed glass or processing of CSP (ceramic material/stones/porcelain) may be realized in a continuous operation.
- The material yield is maximized by accurate detection and exact sorting.
- Fine metal parts are detected parallel to the color sorting and fed into the rejection stream.
- Thanks to the exact detection, the small distance of the nozzles to the product stream and the fast, precise triggering of the valves, the compressed air consumption is kept very low.
- Low-maintenance operation thanks to automatic cleaning.
