Changing consumer preferences and lifestyle trends have triggered the need for innovative packaging. The PETrecycling CZ assessment based on R&D and BAT up-to-day results is, that it should be finally coax, that all plastic PET bottles for beverages that are sold here or imported into Czech Republic should be included in return systems with deposits to encourage the consumers to take the bottles back.

Czech Gateway to the PET bottles Recycling


An equipment manufacturing and engineering company, National Recovery Technologies (NRT) provides cutting edge sorting solutions to the plastics recycling industry, esp. for PET bottles. Here presents one of them -  FlakeSort™.

     
 

 

Overview

The world's first sorting system designed for industrial feed streams of polymer flakes or pellets.

Combining a leading edge computerized process and infrared spectroscopic detection, the FlakeSort scans and classifies high volumes of polymer flakes or pellets using proprietary high-speed identification algorithms.

Application

The NRT FlakeSort™ is the worlds first sorting system designed to make highly accurate, polymer-specific identifications of small particles while sorting industrial feed streams of polymer flakes or pellets. A typical application is the detection and removal of PVC contaminates in the processing of PET flakes for recycling.

Technology

In 1997, the U.S. EPA selected NRT to develop a small particle polymer-specific sorting technology in response to industry needs. After two years of intensive development and field testing, NRT developed the FlakeSort, an industrial duty sorting system. Combining a leading edge computerized process and infrared spectroscopic detection, the FlakeSort™ scans and classifies high volumes of polymer flakes or pellets using proprietary high-speed identification algorithms.

The process employs precision air jet ejection to sort particles of a selected polymer or polymers from the feed stream using a binary sort approach. This process achieves high precision sorting and low product loss, even at industrial feed-rates. The use of new high-speed, polymer-specific, infrared spectroscopic sensing technology provides significantly improved performance over non-specific technologies such as X-ray based systems.
