EcoSort® Classic MIR-HSI
Plastic sorting taken to the next level—even where others reach their limits!
High-precision plastic sorting with mid-infrared hyperspectral imaging.
For recyclers, processors, and industrial applications that demand maximum material yield and process reliability.
Part of the EcoSort® Classic series
The EcoSort® Classic MIR-HSI expands the proven EcoSort® Classic platform with state-of-the-art MIR hyperspectral technology. It is designed for demanding plastic streams where classic sorting systems reach their limits.
What the EcoSort® Classic MIR-HSI can do -
Your benefits at a glance
Reliable detection – precise separation – maximum flexibility
- Detection of a wide range of common plastics and polymer blends (e.g., PE, PP, PVC, PC-ABS, HIPS)
- Detection of black plastics
- Identification of selected polymer subtypes (e.g., HDPE)
- Detection of specific additives (e.g., talc in PP)
- AI-supported classification with adaptive system
- Customized sorting programs with flexible changeover
- Designed for grain sizes 20–60 mm and 60–120 m
Mid-Infrared Hyperspectral Imaging
Technical specifications
The MIR-HSI system analyzes each plastic particle on a pixel basis in the mid-infrared range.
This reveals material-specific spectral signatures that cannot be reliably detected using conventional methods.
- Wavelength range: approx. 2,700 – 5,300 nm
- Hyperspectral camera as detector
- AI-based evaluation down to pixel or subpixel level
Applications: For demanding plastic streams
End-of-Life-Vehicles (ELV)
WEEE plastic fractions
Mixed plastic streams
Design blend of plastics
