Equipped with integrated 3D InGaAs depth spectrum identification and high-precision CCD visual detection, the PM+ ULTRA NIR optical sorter supports comprehensive purification and classification for PET, PE, POM, ABS, PA, PMMA and nearly all mainstream recycled plastic flakes and pellets.

It executes two core sorting functions in one pass:

  1. Distinguish different resin types relying on three-dimensional molecular and structural features, even for highly similar plastics that cannot be separated by conventional 2D sorting devices;
  2. Automatically eliminate stained, discolored, yellowed and surface-defective fragments via visual color screening.

This flagship dual-system unit perfectly adapts to single-color pure plastic scraps, multi-color mixed waste plastics and complex multi-resin blended raw materials displayed above, delivering one-step ultra-high-purity finished products that meet strict export-grade recycling standards.

Basic Startup & Feeding

  1. Do not put metal impurities, oversized hard blocks and foreign hard debris into the feeding hopper to avoid damaging the vibration feeder and internal optical structure.
  2. Adjust feeding vibration frequency according to material thickness and fragment size, ensure materials fall in single layer to guarantee sorting precision.

Daily Inspection & Maintenance

  1. Wipe the light window and 3D spectral detection lens with clean dust-free cloth every week, keep the optical channel free from plastic dust and residue.
  2. Check air compressor pressure and nozzle blockage regularly; clear clogged nozzles in time to prevent missed ejection of impurities.
  3. Keep the equipment working environment dry and dustproof, avoid long-term direct exposure to strong sunlight.

System & Parameter Operation

  1. Pre-programmed dedicated sorting formulas for PET/PE/ABS/PA/POM/PMMA are preset inside the touch screen; directly call the corresponding material program before production.
  2. Do not arbitrarily modify core spectral algorithm parameters without technical guidance, which may cause increased mis-sorting rate.
  3. Connect the machine to stable rated voltage to prevent sudden power failure from causing system data loss.

FAQS

  • What is the ultimate advantage of combining 3D depth spectrum and high-precision color sorting?

    Traditional single-function sorting equipment can only complete a single sorting task: basic 2D InGaAs material sorters merely distinguish plastic resin types yet fail to eliminate stained, yellowed and discolored surface flaws; ordinary color sorting machines pick out heterochromatic impurities but cannot separate plastics with identical appearance but different internal material composition.

    PM+ ULTRA integrates the two core detection systems into one vertical sorting unit, finishing comprehensive purification in a single feeding and falling pass. The 3D ultra-depth spectral module penetrates material surfaces to identify internal density gaps and structural differences, thoroughly stripping out trace foreign resin impurities that even standard 2D and 3D material sorters cannot fully screen out. Meanwhile the upgraded high-definition CCD optical channel captures tiny stains, blemishes and faded fragments invisible to naked eyes, automatically ejecting all surface unqualified pieces.

    This all-in-one dual sorting workflow eliminates the need to deploy two separate sorting machines for material separation and color defect removal, cuts production line floor occupation, reduces extra equipment investment and manual operation links, and directly enables recycled plastic flakes and pellets to hit strict export-grade high-purity standards in one round of sorting.

  • Can finished plastic flakes sorted by PM+ Ultra directly supply automotive-grade plastic compound factories?

    Absolutely yes. Automotive engineering plastic production has extremely stringent access thresholds for recycled feedstock, prohibiting any mixed foreign resin fragments, residual stained particles and heterotypic impurity doping, which is hard to satisfy by conventional sorting devices with high omission and misjudgment rates.

    Relying on dual 3D spectrum & CCD visual inspection, PM+ ULTRA achieves near-zero mixing of alien plastic resin ingredients, and controls the proportion of flawed and discolored particles to an ultra-low level far below the industry average threshold. The finished recycled plastic materials fully comply with the raw material acceptance specifications of major automotive plastic modification factories, without secondary re-sorting or manual re-inspection, and can directly enter the batching and granulation procedure of automotive-grade compound plastic production lines, greatly simplifying the quality control process for downstream manufacturers.

  • Is this flagship model customized for large export-oriented plastic recycling groups?

    PM+ ULTRA is precisely positioned as the top-end flagship sorting equipment exclusively built for large export-oriented recycling groups, centralized plastic resource regeneration industrial parks and high-value recycled plastic deep-processing enterprises.

    Different from mid-range models suitable for small and medium-sized washing lines, this unit is optimized for long-term uninterrupted mass production of large factories with daily high-throughput processing demands. Its algorithm library preloads sorting formulas for dozens of common engineering plastics and mixed composite scraps, adapting to complex multi-source mixed waste plastic raw materials from global waste import and domestic recycling channels.

    Since export recycled plastic products face strict customs inspection and overseas buyer quality audits, PM+ ULTRA’s ultra-high purification effect helps recycling enterprises pass international product quality certification smoothly, stabilize long-term overseas order cooperation, and significantly improve the added value and unit profit of recycled plastic finished products for large recycling groups.

  • What long-term stability advantages does full top-tier optical configuration offer?

    The entire optical detection core of PM+ ULTRA adopts industrial-grade imported 3D InGaAs spectral sensors and high-stability CCD image acquisition components, paired with dustproof constant-temperature sealed optical cabins and anti-vibration reinforced mechanical frame structure.

    For ordinary sorting machines with entry-level optical parts, long-term high-frequency vibration, workshop dust erosion and temperature fluctuation will gradually lead to drift of identification parameters and declining sorting accuracy within 1 to 2 years, requiring frequent parameter recalibration and component replacement.

    In contrast, the flagship hardware configuration of PM+ ULTRA features strong environmental anti-interference ability and component wear resistance. Even under 24/7 non-stop heavy-load operation spanning multiple years, the core detection precision will not produce obvious attenuation or deviation, reducing the frequency of after-sales maintenance, part replacement and on-site debugging. It lowers the long-term operation and after-service comprehensive cost for recycling plants, and maintains consistent stable sorting performance throughout the whole equipment service life.
