Taurang sorting resource recycling has recently launched Taolang 'sharp eye' technology (SHARP EYE), which can separate single-layer PET trays from PET bottles, thus further expanding the use of AUTOSORT sorting equipment and improving customer economic benefits.
This breakthrough has great commercial significance, because PET food trays and PET bottles, although belonging to the same PET material, have important differences in chemistry. This difference causes significant differences in product performance. By separating the two, it is easy to recycle. Reuse of products to make resource utilization more efficient. In addition, the artificial intelligence technology embedded in the Taurang sorting system can seamlessly analyze the sorted products, making the sorting plant more intelligent in the future. Chemical.
Valerio Sama, manager of resource recycling products at Taurang, said: 'The new 'sharp eye' technology can help waste plastics recycling companies improve the efficiency of recycling. With the development of the Internet economy and the popularity of e-commerce, more and more global Consumers are beginning to adopt a take-away lifestyle. From a global perspective, plastic beverage bottles consumed by people and plastic pallets for packaging meals, fruits and vegetables are increasing, so the sorting needs of PET trays and PET plastic bottles will be fast. Growth. '
At the heart of this breakthrough is Taurang's patented FLYING BEAM® technology, which allows near-infrared rays to accurately scan every object to be detected on the conveyor belt without the need for external light source illumination. Such 'dot matrix scanning' can make the device's signal calibration more flexible, and the recognition accuracy is higher, so that the subtle molecular differences that are difficult to identify by conventional means can be found, and the material sorting accuracy is higher. Now, Taurang brand new The 'sharp eye' technology increases the intensity of the illuminating light, making the reflected signals of different materials clearer, so that more subtle material properties can be detected.
The sorting and recycling process of mixed garbage is usually complicated. On the sorting line, if it is necessary to separate the PET bottle and the single-layer PET tray, this step is usually placed in the last step of the sorting. At the forefront of the production line, the first step is to break through. Mechanical means such as bags, drum screens, separating the metal, plastic film and non-plastic materials in the mixed garbage to reduce the total amount of waste entering the back-end sorting line and improve the efficiency of the production line. At the end of the production line, Taurang's The AUTOSORT sorting device can simultaneously detect the material, color and shape. The PET material is selected separately, and then the PET tray and the PET bottle are separately recovered, and the recovery rate can be as high as 95% or more.
Currently, more than 1 million plastic bottles are consumed every minute around the world, and this number is expected to increase by 20% in the next five years. Several organizations in the EU are developing regulations to guide the recycling of PET trays and PET plastic bottles. Utilization. In China, PET tray packaging is becoming more and more extensive due to the huge consumer market formed by take-out and supermarkets. How to deal with the mixed waste of PET tray and PET plastic bottle is an urgent problem.
With the improvement of the concept of plastic waste recycling and the tightening of laws and regulations, this new technological breakthrough of Taurang will bring better economic and environmental benefits for the recycling of PET products.
