Glass sorting system K9 FLASH of S + S tracks glasses and impurities separation and sorting Technology GmbH, Schonberg reliably in S + S, is the new glass sorting system K9 FLASH (Hall C1, booth 407 / 506) on the IFAT ENTSORGA 2012. The newly developed unit is used in the recycling of fine, hollow and flat glass, where it separates fehlfarben and KSP (ceramics, stones, porcelain) in the glass shard electricity with minimal loss of good material. K9 FLASH tracking even special glasses such as CERAN. The space-saving design minimizes the glass breakage and supports the new individual lighting. This new technique allows among others to improve throughput performance.

K9 FLASH detects not only foreign and broken by their different colors, also glasses, that the human eye cannot distinguish from normal pieces are removed from the flow of material. K9 FLASH parses information in up to nine different light wavelengths. Through the combination of different types of light can fehlfarben, KSP and also heat-resistant special glasses identified and reliably separated by a millisecond-accurate response of the blowing nozzles. Hans Eder, head of development at S + S, says about the new glass sorting system: we have incorporated in the machine design of the K9 FLASH subsidiary KRS recycling system GmbH, our years of experience. KRS has planned numerous turnkey recycling systems for hollow and flat glass industry at home and abroad and realised. Through the extension of the color analysis from the usual three primary colors on up to nine basic colors and increase the local resolution of up to 0.2 mm per point of view we set new standards in relation to the sorting accuracy in the field of glass sorting.” S + S shows on the IFAT ENTSORGA in addition to the new glass sorting system the tried and tested VARISORT COMPACT multi sorting system in plastic recycling. An advantage of this system is flexible and easy adaptation to changing sorting tasks.

In the VARISORT COMPACT, various sensor technologies are (e.g. inductive, optical) can be combined. ifatentsorga more Information S + S separation and sorting Technology GmbH Brigitte Rothkopf Regener road 130 D-94513 Schonberg Tel. +49-(0)8554-308 274 fax +49-(0)8554-2606 e-mail: S + S on a look S + S separation and sorting Technology GmbH, Schonberg, provides equipment and systems for the detection /-separation, product inspection and sorting of material flows forth.
