Optical Sorting Technology

RDT can provide optical sorting solutions for a range of sorting tasks.We have vast experience in the use of optical sorting and have successfully implemented these technologies into MRF designs around the world from 5tph commingled to 18tph container processing facilities.

Optical sort units can be used to sort glass, paper including cardboard and organic material, all types of plastics and metals from recovered waste streams.

They have a high throughput capacity and can recover around 95% of processed material with a purity of up to 98%. The units can also be programmed to perform different sorting tasks providing you with flexibility within your MRF.
