5 1 Industries. Leading in all areas of plastic recycling. Bühler can supply tailored optical sorting solutions to all areas of the plastic recycling industry from removing unwanted polymers in packaging waste to removing shape, size and colour defects in petrochemical materials. Packaging Construction Electronic waste & End-of-Life Vehicles Petrochemical Recovering food grade and non-food grade PET and HDPE from packaging waste, removing: Unwanted coloured plastics. Unwanted polymers Foreign materials Removing clear polymers from clear PET Sorting off-cuts and postconsumer upvc from window frames and shutters. Applications include: Black rubber seal fragments White silicon, nylon and rubber from white upvc regrind Recovering plastics from electronic/electrical waste and scrap from automobiles, covering: Plastic and metal separation Wire recovery from WEEE/ELV shred Colour grouping Removing colour and shape defects from plastic pellets, such as: Spot defects Discoloured pellets Misshapen pellets Recovering clear PET from multicoloured application 5

6 2 Colour and foreign material removal. SORTEX B. Available with MultiVision TM technology and up to three frame size inspection systems, the SORTEX B range is available in three frame sizes to suit all capacity requirements for mainstream sorting. One module Two/Three module Four/Five module Enhanced sorting performance Using up to three wavelengths featuring Bühler s proprietary colour cameras, the SORTEX B range provides excellent colour sorting and foreign material detection, delivering high end recyclate, consistently. Flexible broadband LED lighting can identify defects within the visible spectrum. Trusted Bühler quality and reliability The SORTEX B range has been designed to Bühler s stringent quality standards. Dependable, reliable performance is assured while the cutting edge design ensures durable machine quality with sealed control and consistent optical sorting performance. Greater configuration flexibility and capacity Modular systems provide flexibility in the sorting configuration to produce the required product grades. In conjunction with up to five high capacity modules customised to individual sorting requirements, the SORTEX B can match varied capacity needs and manage various contamination levels. 6

7 3 Polymer removal. SORTEX E PolyVision. Introducing the SORTEX E PolyVision - Bühler s optical sorter to remove unwanted polymers from clear, blue, green and multicoloured PET applications. Empowering sorting performance. Designed with only PET processors in mind - the SORTEX E PolyVision is Bühler s optical sorter for polymer contaminant removal. Equipped with ground-breaking SORTEX PolyVision detection technology, unique lighting system and high precision ejectors to remove same-in-colour polymer contaminants such as PVC, PP and PE and to reduce other polymers such as PS, PA (Nylon), POM flakes and silicon with unrivalled accept quality and yield for your cleanest and purest PET flake yet. For the ultimate trans-reflective sort. New SORTEX PolyVision technology is able to perform transparent and reflective sorting simultaneously. It features innovative single-sided double detection and unique patent-pending lighting system for the ultimate polymer contaminant reduction with maximum yield. Leading the way through innovation. SORTEX PolyVision is just the latest technological breakthrough in the leading range of SORTEX optical sorters. With a commitment to substantial investment in research and development, Bühler continues to develop state-of-the-art technology that empowers PET recyclers to maximize their capacity, recovery and profitability consistently. 7
