In late 2010, Eco Plastics pointed TOMRA with one of the most demanding sorting challenges it had ever encountered. Eco Plastics wanted to provide consistent clean PET Flakes to the next level, which has never been achieved before. Even to trained eyes, it is hardly possible to differentiate PVC and PET flakes. It aims to develop a world-class solution allowing the sorting of PET flake by material and color simultaneously, providing a milestone in the quality and purity of the PET output and to create a 'super yield' - minimizing over sorting while maintaining output purity.
After the problem approached, TOMRA initiated a project and worked closely with Eco Plastics, they have to redesigned their software and hardware in order to create a technology that capable to do that almost impossible sorting of PET Flakes. The technology (The TITECH Autosort) systems have been incorporated with Hemswell Plant, after the materials have been identified, shredded and then washed. This high end technology is capable of sorting flakes down to 2 mm while still maintaining the purity while still producing less waste.
The outcome of the project has been one of the proudest technology they achieved. An eco-friendly technology that made the highest quality material available in the market todays.
