APEX NIR Optical Sorter for Premium Recycled Cold Washed Plastic

APEX NIR Optical Sorter Features

The PM+ ULTRA plastic sorter is the top flagship vertical model in the full plastic sorting series, equipped with the ultimate integrated configuration of 3D InGaAs three-dimensional spectral system and high-precision CCD color sorting technology.

It perfectly combines the 3D ultra-depth material recognition strength of PM ULTRA and the dual material & color sorting advantages of PM+, forming the most advanced high-precision, high-stability vertical sorting solution for high-standard plastic flake and pellet purification.

As a top-tier dual-system flagship model, it inherits industry-leading 3D deep spectral material identification while integrating ultra-fine color defect discrimination functions. It solves two core bottlenecks in high-end plastic recycling: ultra-similar mixed material impurities and trace subtle color defects that cannot be removed by single-function sorting equipment.

Equipped with the latest iterative multi-spectral ultra-fine detection system and full-angle high-speed scanning structure, it achieves the highest-level accuracy for both material identification and color screening. It realizes zero-error fine separation for almost all complex mixed plastic flakes and conventional plastic pellets, resolving difficult sorting challenges including highly similar resin blending, multi-spec fragment mixing and ultra-fine heterotypic plastic impurities.

The fully optimized industrial-grade vertical structure delivers ultra-stable, high-volume and high-precision synchronous operation, sustaining consistent premium sorting performance under long-term ultra-high-load industrial production.

Tailored for export-grade high-purity recycled plastic flake production, fine pellet processing and large-scale plastic resource regeneration industrial parks, the PM+ ULTRA represents the cutting-edge technical level of vertical plastic sorting equipment for high-end recycling projects.

1. 3D InGaAs + High-Precision Color Sorting Dual-System Integration

As the flagship dual-function model, it combines 3D three-dimensional depth spectral material recognition and ultra-fine CCD color defect detection. It simultaneously identifies invisible internal material differences and visible surface color defects, achieving one-step ultra-thorough purification for the most complex mixed plastic raw materials.

2. Zero-Error Ultra-Fine Comprehensive Sorting Capacity

Breaking the single-dimensional recognition limits of ordinary sorters, it accurately removes trace heterochromatic stains, ultra-similar resin mixtures and micro defective fragments that other models cannot fully eliminate, meeting strict export-grade high-purity plastic recycling standards.

3. Ultra-High Stability for Heavy-Duty Industrial Production

Built with full industrial reinforced structure and intelligent iterative spectral algorithms, it strongly resists complex environmental interference and long operational fatigue. It maintains zero-deviation high-precision sorting during 24/7 continuous ultra-high-load production, fully adapting to the strict requirements of large-scale recycling industrial parks.

4. Top-Tier Solution for High-End Premium Recycling

Customized for high-value export-grade recycled plastic production and large-scale plastic resource upgrading projects, it maximizes finished plastic purity, color uniformity and market added value, serving as the ultimate flagship sorting equipment for high-end plastic fine regeneration.

Parameters of NIR Optical Sorter

Applicable Sorting Materials

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.

Operation Tips

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.
