Recycling Technology Innovations, News
If there is one part of the recycling process that is not only complicated, but also hard, it is the part of separating and sorting the recyclables. Effective recycling relies on effective and efficient sorting. Separating the different elements found in waste streams is crucial for enabling the recovery of useful materials, minimizing the amount of material sent to landfill and allowing recyclable materials to find a new purpose. There is a wide range of sorting and separating technologies on the market today. This Technology Zones offers an insight into the latest innovations in separation and sorting technology.
TOMRA Sorting Recycling has introduced AUTOSORT COLOR, a new machine which works in combination with AUTOSORT LASER to separate glass from municipal solid waste with unprecedented effectiveness. AUTOSORT COLOR achieves purity rates greater than 95% at high throughput rates, even when input materials are wet, dusty or dirty.

GALBALLY – The 3 key characteristics of manufacturing a consistent high-quality SRF product are particle size, calorific value and moisture content. If any of these characteristics are compromised, burning efficiency may be affected.
Read moreEriez® announces the release of a new white paper which makes a compelling case for producing low-copper steel with ballistic separators. The paper compares the Shred1″ Ballistic Separator to several other widely used ferrous scrap upgrading systems, revealing that the Shred1 is a low investment option which cuts hand picking labor in half.

Eric van Looy (Sense2Sort – Toratecnica)Being a technical engineer, Eric has spent more than 2 decades on the development of sensor based sorting technologies to advance recycling processes. Since 2006 he pursued automated spectroscopy technologies like XRF (at that time also together with Tom Jansen) and LIBS. Today, sorting has become possible to an unmet extend and with the second generation of Sense2Sort LIBS sorters, it has become possible to identify the elemental composition of each metal piece at high throughputs and up to 6 fractions with one machine. Sense2Sort-Toratecnica focuses on sustainable, reliable and responsible solutions for a max of eco-economical sorting sense. This also involves the design of advanced sorting plants and consultation work.
Tom Jansen (TOMRA Sorting GmbH)After studying Chemical Engineering at the Technical University of Eindhoven, the Netherlands, Tom started working as Sales Engineer at Innov-X Systems. He initially focused on selling handheld XRF equipment in the Benelux, while gradually extending the geographical territory over the years. From 2007 he was heavily involved in the pioneering of automated XRF sensor technology, bringing this new technology to the metal scrap market worldwide. Tom joined TOMRA Sorting (then Titech GmbH) in 2011 as Sales Manager responsible for the Metal Recycling market in the Netherlands and Belgium. Since then, in his role as Segment Champion for the ELV shredder segment, he has also supported the metal recycling market in the Middle East region, Italy, Greece and projects in several other countries.
Eugene van den Boomen (Goudsmit Magnetics Group)Eugène van den Boomen has over 20 years of experience in all technical aspects of Magnetic Recycling Equipment. He is closely involved with the development of Eddy-Current separators, inductive sensor- & high-gradient separators, overband separators, magnetic head pulleys and drum separators for recycling and recovery applications.
These systems are installed in the Goudsmit Test Centre where companies can test bulk samples of various materials. This simplifies the final choice of a specific separation system and guarantees customers an optimal separation result.SAN DIEGO, CA – CP Group, San Diego-based recycling solutions provider and equipment manufacturer, unveiled their Virtual MRF over a year ago. Now for the first time, it will be on display internationally at Residuos Expo 2018 in Guadalajara, Jalisco Mexico.
