In January 2024, Eldan Recycling announced a co-ownership with PICVISA Machine Vision Systems — a move that marked the beginning of a new era for the Denmark-based recycling giant. As reported by Recycling International (December 1, 2024), this partnership resulted in the launch of two landmark optical sorting machines: the MPS (Multi Purpose Sorter) and the SPS (Small Purpose Sorter).
Since 1956, Eldan Recycling has manufactured equipment based on ambient mechanical techniques — requiring no melting or chemical treatment. The integration of optical sorting through Eldan Sorting represents a significant evolution. As CEO Toni Reftman said: “This is extremely exciting, and the timing couldn’t be better.”
The APT Learner deep learning module goes beyond colour sorting to detect specific materials like printed circuit boards (PCBs) in e-waste streams.
Whether processing cable granulates, electronic waste, or non-ferrous metal scrap, Eldan Sorting delivers the purity and recovery rates that make recycling operations more profitable.
