FiberSort™ System
The FiberSort® system performs removal of OCC and Trash from ONP Streams. This latest innovation for MRF’s provides for precise and fully automated separation of Old Corrugated Containers (OCC) and nonpaper items (trash) from a stream of pre-processed Old Newspapers (ONP).
A pre-processed ONP stream is randomly fed in a single-layer manner onto a high-speed acceleration conveyor. The FiberSort™ analyzes all passing items and classifies ONP, nonpaper items (trash) and OCC according to their specific color and NIR “signatures”.
Contains the following heavy-duty components:
- Separate Control Enclosure.
- Compressed air manifold.
- Sensor housing with a full color and NIR sensor and illumination assembly.
- Self-Cleaning air ejection and solenoid valve array.
- Typical removal efficiency is greater than 80%.
- High sorting accuracy with upward firing air ejection.
- High capacity design for easy integration into high volume mechanical screen sorting systems .
- Easy “over the belt” installation.
- AST proprietary sensor and system design.
- RS-232 communication port for easy parameter access and software uploads.
