Optical Plastics Separation System Research

After extensive testing of a new low cost optical plastic separation system, including the classification of different sources of large dense rigid plastics, optimising feed rates, size and weight analysis, classifying separated and non separated outputs and designing a front end feeder system the trial period of this new plastic recycling system concluded with a new design specification for the development of a fully commercialised system with modular capability for different scales operation within the global waste and resource sector.
