Showcasing Bühler innovation with new advanced inspection and lighting systems, this state-of-the-art technology has a superior detection of subtle colors and foreign material.

Available in four sizes, the SORTEX A range provides plastic recyclers with dedicated customized options to handle the most unique and challenging sorting requirements. Showcasing Bühler innovation with new advanced inspection and lighting systems, tiered chute and Label Reduction Kit, this technology provides the ultimate PET and HDPE flake sorting solution, with the highest throughput in the industry. The SORTEX A uses rear and front ended, high-definition color cameras and broadband LED lighting to detect contaminants with up to half the pixel size of other industry solutions.
