Our new Eddy-Current Separator for MRFs sorts aluminum cans and other metal contamination from mixed material streams. A central computer system monitors up to 16 metal detector in one plant!

• Greater than 95% removal efficiency.
• Upward firing air ejection (see picture).
• Available in machine widths up to 128” in 8” increments.
• Easy to retrofit into existing plants.
• Modem/network access to touchscreen interface for factory software upload and trouble-shooting.
• Requires little space and can be easily integrated into existing processing system.
• Very low maintenance cost due to few moving components (air valves).
• Developed, manufactured and serviced by MSS Inc., a leading supplier of automated sorting equipment for the recycling industry.

The new generation of the Sapphire™ separation modules provides for precise separation of specific plastic resins, aseptic packagings, paper, or mixed plastics from a stream of packaging waste.

• A 1,000mm Sapphire™ and acceleration conveyor Easy sort selection -- Flip the switch!
• A pure fraction of beverage cartons, sorted by the Sapphire™
• Typical removal efficiency is greater than 80%.
• Typical product purity is greater than 90%.
• High sorting accuracy with upward firing air ejection.
• High capacity design for massfeed application.
• Easy “over the belt” installation.
• MSS proprietary sensor and system design.
• RS-232 communication port for easy parameter access and software uploads.

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 Glass ColorSort® system turns negative value, contaminated, three-color mix into high value, furnace-ready cullet.

• Capacity is 20 tons/hr when operated in ceramic mode, 5 tons/hr when operated in color sorting mode.
• Automatically identifies and sorts glass particle sizes from 9-50 mm (3/8”-2”).
• Sorts all shades of green, amber, yellow, and blue colored glass including “Georgia Green” and “Half-White”.
• Employs the latest developments in sensor technology, using high-speed optical detectors and digital signal processing.
• Special software algorithms constantly correct for the effects of contamination, providing improved separation over self-cleaning systems which operate intermittently and require air and water utilities.
