NEW TOMRA SENSOR BASED SORTING SYSTEM FOR METAL RECYCLING FACILITIES
Sensor based sorting specialist, TOMRA Sorting Recycling used the recent IFAT exhibition in Munich to launch its new generation of its TITECH finder sensor based metal sorting system.
Demonstrated on the TOMRA stand, the company said that the new TITECH finder features the its proprietary DEEP DATA technology, which allows the continuous collection, processing and analysis of multiple metal object data.
According to the recycling equipment manufacturer, the DEEP DATA system has been combined with its existing SUPPIXX® image processing technology, which enhances electromagnetic sensor resolution and allows greater recognition accuracy.
Operating in unison these two technologies are claimed to enable intelligent object recognition by identifying the smallest differences in terms of the metal fraction’s shape, size and intensity.
The company said that this allows the new generation TITECH finder to provide new sorting criteria for improving different sorting tasks such as wire recovery.
Working in conjunction with a series of newly designed high precision valves on the TITECH finder system, DEEP DATA is said to enable the valves to be controlled with more precision than ever before.
Additionally, the company said that because the valves have twice the resolution of their predecessors, increased ejection accuracy and an improvement of product purity of between 5% and 15% is achieved.
By continually monitoring the whole of the conveyor belt and checking for permanent metal inclusions, TOMRA said that the TITECH finder facilitates open process control and reduces misfires whilst optimising product quality and the stability of the sorting process.
“IFAT provides us with the ideal opportunity to launch our new generation TITECH finder to the world and show how it can be used to improve profitability by enhancing product purity and reducing operating costs,” commented Ines Hartwig, TOMRA Sorting Recycling’s product manager.
