Six months ROI for Poly Recycling GmbH with Buehler's fully integrated optical sorting station

摘要

Following the installation of Buehler's fully integrated optical sorting station. Poly Recycling GmbH confirmed that they achieved a full return on investment (ROI) in just six months. The installation, which included three SORTEX optical sorters for the separation and sorting of recycled plastic flakes at its plant in Weinfelden, Switzerland, was a significant step forward for Poly Reycling and a milestone in Buehler's continuing development of its optical sorting capabilities for the plastics recycling industry. The optical sorting station, the first of its kind in the industry, has enabled Buehler to widen its portfolio in the plastics sector, moving beyond single machine installations to fully integrated optical sorting stations. This solution, integrating separation and sorting steps in the processing line, includes plant engineering, sorting technology, mechanical separation machinery, pneumatic conveyors, pre-conditioners and auxiliary equipment.
