RapidSort® Advantages

High purity sort maximises income - accurate identification allows higher selling prices. Purity levels above 99% are possible for the major polymer streams (e.g. PET, PE), and specific contamination levels of <50ppm achievable, even with dirty, unwashed bottles

Reduces costs - very competitive capital cost and minimal operator requirements. In some cases the system may pay for itself, vs. manual sorting, in under 9 months.

Comprehensive - identifies all major consumer plastics (PET, HDPE, PVC, PP, PS - both transparent and opaque) with a single sensor, and can therefore sort both commingled and contaminated single polymer streams. It also sorts bottles by colour.

Fast - a single line operates at 5 bottles per second (~ 0.8-0.9 tonne/hr, or 1800-2000 pounds/hr).

Flexible throughputs - multiple-line systems can be used for higher throughput requirements, and lines can be added as modules as processing needs increase.

Adaptable - RapidSort® can be easily, inexpensively (and remotely) configured to different sorting requirements and new plastics / mixes as and when required.

Guaranteed - Full performance guarantee and 1 year warranty.

Compact and flexible - RapidSort® systems can be tailor-made to precise customer requirements / situation, and retrofitted to existing facilities.

Simple, robust and easy to maintain - single ID section and robust design not only lowers capital cost and improves overall speed, but also simplifies installation and minimises maintenance.

Safe - no dangerous radiation (such as X-rays) used in the RapidSort® system.

Financially flexible - RapidSort® systems are available for purchase or for lease.

Simple to operate - a specially designed user control interface allows simple allocation of sort locations, and on-line sort information and statistics (eg. sort quantities by type, average processing speeds etc.)
