The MultiWave™ Sensor provides proprietary full spectrum color and near infrared spectroscopy at scanning speeds that are more than double comparied to other NIR sensors.

The MultiWave™ is the world's first sensor to provide gloss and lignin identification.

The MultiWave™ provides MRFs as well as paper and plastics processors with a solution for automated optical separation at levels not possible before.

Besides increased speed, the MultiWave™ can be installed into machine widths of up to 96" (2400 mm). This allows the MultiWave™ to process higher throughput rates than other sorting modules on the market.

The integrated auto-calibration feature insures consistently high sorting accuracy and consistency.

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.

The PaperSort™ system has the potential to redefine what this industry considers "Automation". MSS has combined commonly used screens, conveyors and other innovative mechanical techniques with the world’s first high-speed optical sensor for automatic identification and recovery of premium paper grades from mixed office paper or removal of contaminants/prohibitives from premium paper grades.

The PaperSort™ is currently being showcased at two commercial paper processing facility in the United States. The single line RP-1200 prototype system is operated on a continuous basis.
