Pre-Sort This self-contained Sesotec technology for processing regrind from compounding operations combines sorting, dedusting, material conveying and central control. The compact technology is built upon a mobile base. It includes sensors for color, polymer and metal sorting and can perform sorting applications according to the colors, shapes or types of plastic and metals, or any combination of those factors. For more thorough sorting, materials move along two tracks.
What’s new? The Pre-Sort, which made its debut last October at Fakuma. Sesotec plans to introduce the technology to the U.S. by the fourth quarter of this year.
Benefits Efficiency and flexibility, and the efficient recapture of plastics that can be reused. With the flexibility to work with any combination of sensors and a selection of different sorting sequences, the two-track Pre-Sort sorts materials twice — first on one track, then on the second. This ensures the purity of plastics that can be reground. In addition to its sorting accuracy, the Pre-Sort offers users flexibility and mobility, as it can be transported from one location to another.
