- Full Description
-
This spanish company is specialised in the development, manufacturing, and commercialization of machinery equipped with vision and artificial intelligence technology aimed at separating plastics for recycling.
Their cutting-edge solution allows for the separation of plastic flakes before their reuse or transformation into polymer. This process significantly enhances the circular economy and plastic recycling processes by separating mixtures, increasing their value, quality, and profitability.
One of their key innovations lies in their proprietary technology that utilizes advanced vision and AI algorithms to precisely identify and separate different types of plastics, even those traditionally difficult to distinguish. For instance, they have successfully developed systems capable of separating plastic flakes by color, polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE), identifying and removing PVC from waste streams, and even isolating black plastics commonly found in the automotive sector.
These capabilities represent a significant advancement in plastic recycling technology, addressing a critical challenge in material classification.
This technology offers several advantages over existing methods in the market. Firstly, their systems provide higher accuracy and efficiency in plastic sorting, reducing the likelihood of contamination and improving overall recycling yields
.
Additionally, their equipment is designed with user-friendly interfaces and robust construction, ensuring reliability and ease of operation for the clients. Moreover, their commitment to continuous innovation allows them to stay ahead of the curve, anticipating and addressing emerging challenges in plastic recycling.
Their team comprises experts in various fields, including engineering, computer science, and environmental sustainability, with extensive experience in developing and deploying advanced technologies for industrial applications. They have a track record of successful collaborations with recycling companies, demonstrating their ability to tailor solutions to specific needs and deliver tangible results.
In terms of potential applications, their technology has broad implications across industries committed to sustainability and material reuse. Apart from traditional plastic recycling facilities, their systems can also be deployed in sectors like textiles, where material separation poses significant challenges.
By expanding their presence into new sectors and international markets, they aim to further establish themselves as leaders in sustainable waste management solutions. - Advantages and Innovations
