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
