HLZ counting machines for sorting of used beverage containers

Anker Andersen A/S is the leading global supplier of industrial high-speed counting machines (HLZ) for the recycling industry. HLZ counting machines provide efficient and reliable counting and sorting of used beverage containers (UBCs) with deposit made from PET, glass or metal.

This highly efficient and reliable HLZ machines are operated by one person and are very user-friendly.

HLZ machines are developed in co-operation with the recycling industry, and with their modularity, they are sufficiently flexible to meet customer-specific requirements.

The machines are installed in, for example, counting, redemption and collection centres which receive mixed batches of UBCs from retailers. The HLZ machines count and sort beverage containers into the required fractions before selling the containers to buyers of the raw materials.

The HLZ machines have also been installed at breweries and bottlers in Germany, where they are applied to secure the deposits of foreign bottles in returned crates.

Reading of bar codes 

In the scanner unit of the HLZ, high-tech cameras register EAN bar codes and security marks on the beverage containers in order to determine whether they are redeemable. Subsequently, the UBCs are sorted into the required material fractions. At so-called no-read stations, unknown beverage containers are registered manually.

Our HLZ high-speed counting machines have a registration accuracy of ≥99.5% and are all CE marked and TÜV approved.
