Product Introduction
APEX Multi-Sensor Near Infrared Plastic Separator Features
Our PM+ vertical plastic sorter is equipped with 2D InGaAs sensors that apply near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy technology. It performs resin material identification and CCD color sorting simultaneously on mixed plastic flakes in one single pass.
The PM+ plastic sorter is a high-precision upgraded variant built on the basic PM material sorting platform, adopting dual-module integration of 2D InGaAs spectral detection and independent CCD color discrimination. It retains the full-spectrum resin classification capability of the original PM system, while adding dedicated high-precision color defect screening, realizing integrated sorting of polymer material composition and surface color defects. Tailored for purification of highly complex mixed plastic flakes and particles, it resolves two core recycling difficulties at once: separating same-color plastics of different materials, and picking out tiny stained / discolored impurities missed by standalone material sorters. It perfectly fits high-standard recycling lines demanding thorough resin separation and ultra-high purity of finished recycled materials:
1. Upgraded High-Precision Spectral Detection System
It features enhanced multi-spectral iterative detection modules. By upgrading the core spectrum algorithm, it identifies ultra-fine texture and density differences between highly similar plastic types that the standard PM unit cannot distinguish. It thoroughly eliminates trace foreign plastic impurities and irregular fragments hidden inside complicated mixed waste plastics.
2. Strong Adaptability to Complex Raw Materials
It is specially optimized for irregular, multi-spec and lookalike mixed plastic scraps that ordinary sorting equipment struggles to process. It delivers deep purification for multi-resin mixed plastic flakes and pellets, greatly boosting the completeness of material separation.
3. Low Misjudgment Rate & Maximized Product Yield
The optimized optical path and intelligent signal processing system lower false rejection and missed sorting effectively. While maintaining extremely high sorting purity, it retains the maximum quantity of qualified recyclable materials, striking a balance between sorting accuracy and economic production benefits.
4. Target Application Scenarios for Premium Recycling
Positioned for mid-to-high-end plastic reprocessing, PM+ serves medium and large recycling factories with strict quality requirements for output recycled materials. It is widely used in fine processing of high-value plastic flakes and production of high-purity recycled pellets, delivering an advanced all-in-one sorting solution for complicated waste plastic purification.
Boasting upgraded ultra-precise material recognition, robust compatibility with tricky mixed feedstock and stable high-yield continuous operation, the PM+ plastic sorter is the optimal integrated sorting equipment for complex mixed plastic recycling projects and high-value recycled plastic resource upgrading.
Working Principle-How does it work?
APEX Dual Function Infrared Plastic Separator Diagram
Step-by-Step Sorting Workflow:
- Mixed plastic flakes enter the anti-floating hopper, and the vibratory feeder spreads materials evenly.
- The 2D InGaAs sensor identifies plastic resin types, while the CCD camera picks out stains and discoloration.
- The processor analyzes dual detection data to mark all non-conforming fragments.
- High-speed nozzles blow out impurities, and qualified plastic falls into the finished product hopper.

FAQS
-
What dual sorting functions does PM+ integrate compared to the basic PM single material sorting model?
The standard PM sorter only relies on 2D InGaAs near-infrared spectrum to identify plastic molecular composition and finish resin material separation alone.
As the upgraded dual-system model, APEX PM+ integrates two core sorting functions into one equipment in a single sorting pass:
First, it inherits the original 2D InGaAs NIR spectral detection module to distinguish the molecular spectral fingerprint of PET, PP, PE, PVC, ABS and other polymers, so as to sort out foreign plastic impurities with identical appearance but different material properties.
Second, it adds an independent high-definition CCD visual color sorting channel, which can automatically identify and eject discolored, stained, yellowed and contaminated plastic fragments that cannot be screened out by pure material sorting equipment.
This all-in-one dual sorting design eliminates the need to deploy two separate machines for material classification and color impurity removal, greatly simplifying the layout of plastic recycling production lines.
-
Can PM+ cope with highly complex multi-material mixed waste plastic sorting tasks much better than the basic PM version?
Yes, PM+ is specially optimized for difficult-to-process highly complex mixed waste plastic raw materials compared with entry-level PM equipment.
Its upgraded enhanced multi-spectrum iterative sensor algorithm can capture subtle differences in density and molecular structure between highly similar plastic varieties, effectively lowering the misjudgment and missed sorting rate for thin fragments, tiny particles and blended multi-resin scraps that are prone to identification errors on basic PM machines.
Besides material identification upgrade, the attached CCD vision system filters out surface defective impurities synchronously during feeding, avoiding defective finished products caused by stained plastic mixed into qualified resin materials. It greatly improves the final purification precision and product yield for post-washing mixed plastic recycling lines.
-
Will the dual optical detection system of PM+ bring a sharp increase in compressed air consumption and factory operation cost?
There is no obvious surge in air consumption or extra running cost for PM+.
Our R&D team adopts a shared integrated high-speed nozzle ejection air path structure for the dual detection system. The air blowing logic merges the rejection signals from the InGaAs material module and CCD color module first, then executes impurity ejection in one action, instead of two separate air blow actions for two systems.
After actual industrial testing, the additional compressed air consumption of PM+ is controlled within 10% compared with the standard single-channel PM model, which will not bring extra heavy energy cost burden to long-term continuous production of recycling plants.
-
Is PM+ the most cost-effective mainstream option for medium-sized mixed plastic recycling and granulation factories?
Absolutely. PM+ is positioned as the mainstream mid-range model tailored for medium-scale waste plastic washing plants and plastic granulation enterprises.
It strikes a perfect balance between equipment investment cost and raw material processing capability: compared with purchasing a separate PM material sorter plus a PT color sorter, PM+ integrated two sets of sorting systems in one vertical machine, saving equipment purchase cost, workshop space occupation and later maintenance labor cost.
It is fully competent for daily multi-spec mixed plastic flake purification, meets the strict purity standards of export-grade recycled plastic particles, and has become the preferred sorting equipment for medium-volume automated plastic recycling production lines with moderate budget and high purification requirements.
We strictly control the production quality of each product and meticulously process every item.
