SpydIR-HS optical sorter The latest optical sorter from National Recovery Technologies (NRT) features an improved near-infrared camera and other updated technologies to boost its sorting capabilities.
What’s new? The SpydIR-HS optical sorter. It features a Hyper Spectral Imaging (HSI) camera and software that gives operators greater flexibility to configure targeting profiles to optimize recovery.
Benefits Improved performance. The HSI camera provides nearly 10 times the detection resolution of its predecessor, while the new system provides double the air ejection precision and also includes lifetime calibration. The new sorter can also be integrated with NRT’s Max-AI VIS visual identification system, allowing the system to intelligently target its recovery, for example by ejecting or suppressing PET trays from a PET material stream, or ejecting HDPE-N containers from a mixed HDPE stream. The enclosure of the sorter has an internal height of 6 feet, providing easy access and improving ease of maintenance, which protects workers.
