Application examples of near-infrared sorting

Sensor sorting with near-infrared technology is suitable for a wide range of recycling materials. NIR sorting systems are widely used today. This is because they help to increase the accuracy and efficiency of recycling. Common areas of application are almost all types of recycling materials.

These include, among others:

We would be happy to advise you on how you can optimize the recycling rate of your materials with the help of NIR sorting and our SPALECK Screening technology.

To that end, we offer to test your materials at our TestCenter. Of course, you can further process the materials prepared in this way at the testing centers of NIR sorting plant manufacturers. This is part of our daily routine, and we’d be happy to assist you with this.

Sensor sorting using near-infrared spectra

什麼是近紅外線(NIR)分選系統?

NIR分選系統是一種全自動分選系統,能根據各種材料的近紅外光譜對其進行分選。 它們屬於感測器分揀類別。 在回收領域中,這是一種既現代又已臻成熟的技术,能夠根據材料的分子組成進行可靠的分類。 這在很大程度上取決於所採用回收技術之間的相互配合。 因此,篩分機進料斗和 輸送槽會進行基礎的前置作業,以確保近紅外線(NIR)分選能以經濟的方式進行。

Near-infrared spectroscopy

How does NIR sorting work?

In NIR sorting, the recycling material is fed to the NIR sorting plant via a conveyor belt. A light source installed above the conveyor belt irradiates the various recyclable materials with infrared light. This physical analysis technique uses infrared rays in the 760 – 2500 nm range. Depending on the material, more or less of the wavelengths are reflected. The NIR sorting device assigns the individual piece of material to a specific material class based precisely on this information about which wavelengths are absorbed or reflected.

The interplay of technology makes the difference

我該如何提升近紅外線(NIR)分選系統的處理效率?

回收的目標與必要性,在於盡可能妥善處理大量物料流。 這樣做是為了確保回收工作能夠在經濟上可行。 憑藉其技術設計,以及專為您的回收流程量身打造的篩分機輸送槽,您的近紅外線(NIR)分選設備將能獲得非常穩定的進料。 這使得處理量能夠達到非常高的水準。 同時,此技術還能使物料分離,從而讓近紅外光譜(NIR)技術能最佳地偵測這些物料。 如此一來,您將獲得一層單層薄膜,其進料寬度已針對近紅外線(NIR)設備進行了優化。 這能確保最佳的進料效果,並取得極佳的分離效果

High-performance near-infrared sorting

Recycling has made great progress in recent years. The further development of the state of the art has played a major role in this.

For a more sustainable future and to meet the increasing legal requirements for recycling, NIR systems are becoming ever more powerful in this context.

位於生活垃圾回收處理廠內,分揀設備前方的張緊軸篩分機(Flip-Flow 篩分機)。 SPALECK 張力軸篩分機可提供篩分精準的物料。 在此,篩除細顆粒有助於後續的感測器分選(Tomra Machine)能發揮最佳效能。

Advantages

  • Fast and accurate sorting of recycled materials
  • Cost-efficient, provided the material is optimally fed onto the NIR sorting device
  • Adaptable to changing material compositions
  • Good scalability for large volume flows
  • Can be combined with other recycling technologies such as laser technology, electromagnetic sensors, X-ray technology, and X-ray sorting
  • Also suitable for small particle detection
  • High purity levels of the sorted fractions

Disadvantages

  • Relatively high initial investment
  • Efficiency requires high loading density and full utilization of the machine width (SPALECK offers tried-and-tested concepts for optimum loading of the NIR sorting devices)
  • Risk of sticking and Sticking depending on the material
  • More demanding maintenance and calibration

NIR sorting - Why the task of the material is crucial

Optimize Your NIR Sorting Process at the SPALECK TestCenter

Modern NIR sorting devices can be real high performers and game changers in terms of sorting quality. In practice, it has been shown that a holistic view of the Recycling process is crucial for this. Specifically, it is fundamentally important to design the material feed, the screening process and the feed to the NIR sorting devices in the best possible way. SPALECK is the right partner for this!


With the help of our SPALECK TestCenter, our close collaboration with leading manufacturers of NIR equipment, and the experience we’ve gained from numerous international customer projects, we can work with you to implement high-performance recycling processes using state-of-the-art Conveying & Separation Technology.
