Metal Cans Optical Sorter Automatic Plastic Bottles Sorting Machine AI Optical Sorter For MSW
Products Description
Metal cans and plastic bottles optical sorting machine is a kind of
equipment that integrates optical detection, intelligent
recognition and automatic sorting technology. It is mainly used in
mixed materials of cans (metal materials) and plastic bottles (such
as PET, HDPE, etc.). It can be accurately sorted according to
differences in material, color, transparency, surface
characteristics, etc. It is suitable for waste recycling, renewable
resource processing and packaging production.
Working principle of Metal cans and plastic bottles optical sorting machine:
1. Optical detection system
Combination of light source and sensor: The equipment is equipped
with multi-spectral light source (such as infrared light, visible
light, ultraviolet light). When the material passes through the
detection area, the light is irradiated to the surface of the
object. Different materials have different reflection, absorption
and transmission characteristics of light.
Example: Aluminum cans have high reflectivity to infrared light,
PET plastic bottles have high transmittance, and PVC plastics
absorb light of specific wavelengths.
High-speed camera and spectral analysis: High-resolution camera
captures the optical signals (such as color, gloss, texture) of
materials in real time, and spectrometer analyzes the spectral
characteristics of materials to generate digital characteristic
maps.
2. Intelligent identification and decision-making
The built-in AI algorithm (such as deep learning model) compares
the real-time collected optical data with the preset database
(characteristic parameters of different materials and defects) to
quickly determine the material type (such as aluminum cans, iron
cans, PET bottles, HDPE bottles), defects (such as damage,
pollution) or color classification (such as transparent bottles,
colored bottles).
3. Sorting execution system
According to the identification results, different materials are
accurately sorted through pneumatic nozzles, robotic arms or
conveyor belt diversion devices. For example, aluminum cans are
blown to the metal recycling channel, plastic bottles are sent to
the plastic sorting area, and damaged products are removed to the
waste bin.
The core advantages of etal cans and plastic bottles optical sorting machine:
Multi-material compatibility: Aluminum cans, steel cans, PET plastic bottles, HDPE bottles, PVC
bottles, etc. can be sorted at the same time, and even
transparent/colored plastic bottles and packaging with different
printed coatings can be distinguished.
High-precision identification: The detection accuracy can reach 0.1mm level, and it can identify
stains, cracks, deformations on the surface of plastic bottles, or
scratches and dents on cans, with a material identification
accuracy rate of over 98%.
Processing efficiency: A single device can process 5-10 tons of materials per hour, which
is far higher than the efficiency of manual sorting (about 0.5 tons
per hour for manual sorting), and is suitable for large-scale
recycling scenarios.
Intelligence and automation: Supports adaptive learning, and can update the database by adding
new material samples to reduce manual parameter adjustments;
integrated PLC control system, can be connected to the production
line to achieve fully automated operation.
Environmental protection and energy saving: non-contact detection is wear-free, and energy consumption mainly
comes from the light source and sorting power system, which is more
than 30% lower than the traditional manual + mechanical sorting
energy consumption.
Optical Sorting Plant Product Application
(I) Metal materials
Cans (mainstream material)
Aluminum cans: commonly found in carbonated beverages and beer packaging, light
and highly reflective, optical sorters identify them through
infrared spectra and metallic luster characteristics.
Steel cans: some functional beverage or food cans use tin-plated steel plates,
which have different spectral reflectance from aluminum cans and
can be distinguished by near-infrared light.
Other metal packaging: such as metal bottle caps and small metal cans (such as
eight-treasure porridge cans), as long as the size meets the
detection range of the equipment, they can be sorted.
Metal waste derivative forms:
Broken metal pieces (such as broken cans) and coated metal
packaging (such as cans covered with printing ink), optical sorters
can identify the optical properties of the metal substrate.
(II) Plastic materials
Plastic bottles (mainstream type)
PET plastic bottles: mineral water bottles, beverage bottles, transparent or colored
(such as brown, green), optical sorters identify them through light
transmittance, ultraviolet fluorescence reaction (if containing
additives) and material spectrum.
HDPE plastic bottles: shampoo and detergent packaging bottles, translucent or opaque,
with significant differences from PET under near-infrared spectra
(PET has a characteristic absorption peak at 730nm).
PVC plastic bottles: some cosmetic packaging, optical sorters can distinguish them by
their absorption characteristics of specific ultraviolet light.
Other plastic packaging and waste:
Plastic bottle caps (PP/PE materials), broken plastic bottle flakes
(such as PET bottle flakes, HDPE bottle flakes), and even plastic
bottles with labels (label materials may affect identification and
need to be pre-processed in advance).
About Optical Sorting Plant:
Our automatic waste segregation machine garbage sorter construction
waste sorting equipment can separate the waste fabrics, plastic
bags and other sundries in the recycled aggregate of decoration
waste, and can also clear out the large and medium-sized wooden
blocks and plastic stool wastes. After two screenings, the impurity
separation rate reached 98%.
