Product Introduction
APEX PET Flake Color Sorter Features
The PT Pro optical color sorter is an upgraded high-precision vertical color sorting model iterated on the basis of the standard PT platform, specially developed for fine purification of light-colored and transparent plastic flakes. As a professional upgraded model targeting light-tone plastic materials, it makes up for the weakness of ordinary sorters in identifying subtle defects on light-colored and transparent flakes. It retains all the advantages of vertical flake and particle sorting, with comprehensive upgrades in optical recognition precision and operational stability, perfectly solving the industry pain point of difficult fine sorting for high-demand light plastic raw materials. It is widely adapted to medium-standard light and transparent plastic flake regeneration scenarios that require ultra-fine impurity removal and uniform color consistency, with multiple core upgraded advantages:
1. Customized recognition system for light & transparent plastic flakes
Equipped with high-resolution enhanced CCD sensors and a professionally calibrated exclusive light source for light-colored transparent plastics, the machine features industry-leading subtle discrimination capability. Unlike standard sorters that struggle with low-contrast defects on light, transparent flake surfaces, it accurately captures faint yellowing, tiny black spots, ultra-thin surface stains and slight color deviation on various light PET, PP and PE transparent flakes, achieving precise fine sorting that entry-level equipment cannot accomplish.
2. Anti-jitter uniform feeding for higher yield
Adopting an optimized anti-jitter stable feeding structure, it effectively solves common problems in flake and particle sorting such as material overlapping, uneven dispersion and feeding jitter during long-term high-speed operation. It ensures orderly and uniform material conveying, greatly reducing the missing sorting rate and loss of high-quality plastic raw materials, and significantly improving finished product qualification rate and comprehensive yield.
3. Stable fine purification for medium-standard production
Inheriting the vertical anti-floating and anti-blockage structural advantages of the PT series, it maintains stable long-term continuous operation without material accumulation or flying. It delivers consistent high-precision sorting effect in batch production, avoiding precision attenuation caused by raw material fluctuation and long-term equipment operation.
4. Targeted application for high-standard light plastic recycling
Positioned as a professional fine sorting equipment for light and transparent plastic flakes, the PT Pro is perfectly suitable for medium-sized plastic recycling enterprises focusing on high-value light plastic regeneration, transparent plastic flake finishing and high-uniformity light particle purification projects. It effectively improves the appearance purity and commercial value of light recycled plastics, filling the gap of professional fine sorting solutions for light-colored transparent plastic raw materials.
With exclusive light transparent plastic fine recognition capability, stable anti-jitter feeding performance and balanced high-precision cost performance, the PT Pro plastic color sorter is the ideal upgraded vertical sorting equipment for medium-standard purification of light-colored and transparent recycled plastic flakes and particles, realizing high-value quality upgrading for premium light plastic recycling resources.

Videos– How is the real working performance at clients’ site?
This video shows a real sorting test and production effect of APEX PT Pro high-precision plastic color sorter for light-color recycled PET flakes.
After washing and crushing, light-colored PET flakes often still contain faint yellow stains, micro dark spots, residual ink, transparent heterochromatic particles and other low-contrast impurities that are difficult for standard color sorters to identify. Equipped with upgraded high-sensitivity CCD vision system and uniform soft light source, PT Pro can accurately capture these subtle defects and separate qualified light-color PET flakes from unqualified materials.
In this case, the PT Pro plastic sorting machine effectively improves the flake purity of recycled PET raw materials, reduces manual re-sorting workload, and provides a reliable solution for plastic recycling plants that require stable high-quality light-color PET flake output.
Applicable Sorting Materials
APEX PT Pro high-precision plastic optical separator delivers ultra-fine color sorting for transparent, semi-transparent and opaque waste plastic fragments and pellets, including PET, PE, PP, PC, PMMA, ABS and PVC. Equipped with upgraded high-sensitivity CCD optical system, it precisely picks out micro dark spots, faint ink stains and subtle heterochromatic impurities on thin clear plastic flakes that standard sorting equipment cannot identify, to produce high-purity recycled plastic raw materials for food-grade and high-value plastic granulation lines.

FAQS
-
Why PT Pro handles transparent PET flakes better than standard PT plastic color sorter?
APEX PT Pro high-end plastic color sorter is equipped with upgraded low-luminance high-sensitivity industrial CCD vision system and uniform soft diffused light source, which effectively captures tiny 0.1mm micro dark spots, faint yellow stains and invisible residual ink marks on ultra-clear transparent PET flake surfaces that standard PT basic CCD cameras fail to detect. This advanced optical configuration delivers far higher sorting precision for recycled transparent PET flakes, greatly raising the purity of rPET raw materials for plastic granulation factories, and helping recycling plants avoid product downgrade losses caused by micro contaminant leakage during continuous large-volume production.
-
What maximum material moisture percentage can PT Pro tolerate for stable recycled plastic flake sorting?
For long-term continuous operation on recycled PET, PP and PE plastic flakes, the PT Pro vertical plastic flake sorter can maintain stable consistent sorting accuracy when the surface moisture of input plastic fragments is controlled within ≤5%. If the flake moisture exceeds this threshold, excessive surface water will lead to material adhesion, channel blockage and missed detection of subtle impurities, which will reduce finished plastic purity. We recommend installing a drying machine before the plastic color sorter for wet plastic flakes from washing lines to keep moisture within the stable operation range of PT Pro.
-
Does the anti-jitter variable frequency feeding system of PT Pro reduce transparent flake overlapping and missed sorting?
Yes, the exclusive anti-jitter variable frequency vibration feeder matched on PT Pro plastic optical separator solves the common industry trouble of lightweight transparent PET flakes stacking and overlapping during feeding. It disperses thin, easy-to-fly transparent plastic fragments evenly into single-layer free fall state before CCD detection, eliminating missed detection risk caused by stacked flakes covering micro stains and heterochromatic impurities. This feeding structure ensures stable sorting precision even under full-load high-throughput running for 24-hour plastic recycling production lines.
-
Can PT Pro plastic color sorter produce qualified food-contact grade recycled PET flakes for food packaging manufacturing?
Absolutely. The high-precision CCD vision detection system of PT Pro plastic flake sorter achieves ultra-fine faint stain, micro heterochromatic particle and residual impurity removal, fully meeting strict global food-grade recycled plastic raw material purity standards. The sorted clean transparent PET flakes can be directly used to produce food-contact plastic containers, beverage bottles and food packaging film after granulation, which helps plastic reprocessing manufacturers obtain export certification for food-grade rPET materials and greatly boost the market value of recycled plastic finished products.
