MPS – Multi Purpose Sorter

The Eldan MPS optical sorter allows automatic classification and separation of various types of materials, by composition (NIR / MWIR), colour (VIS), Induction sensor (EM) and AI (shape and appearance).

Thanks to the flexibility of the multispectral vision, MPS can be configured to make quick changes in the classification of new materials to be separated that may arise in the inlet treatment flow.

The MPS models are designed to work on acceleration belts from 1000 mm to 3000 mm with different separation options (Double Bar or MultiTrack) according to the customer’s needs.

MPS-Multi Purpose Sorter

An example of an E-Waste plant including MPS for Optical Sorting

In this example There are two versions of the MPS. The first one in the flowchart is the MPS-I (6- with inductive sensors for metals) and the second one in the flowchart is MPS-I, N, C (14- inductive sensors for metals, Near -Infraed spectrometry and Colour).

Advanced Sorting Technologies

NIR Technology, a chemical fingerprint

The Eldan MPS is equipped with Near-Infrared spectrometry for identification of different polymers. NIR technology is the measurement of the wavelength and intensities of the absorption of near infrared light. The absorption or reflectance spectrum is directly proportional to the chemical composition of the polymer. In other words, the MPS takes a chemical fingerprint of polymers using infrared light at a specific point in time.
The NIR technology means fast, accurate, reliable, cost-effective and non-destructive measurements for identification of material and colour. This makes the MPS a great
investment with a guaranteed ROI. .

Electromagnetic sensor/induction
For detection and separation of mixed waste and other metals. The inductor develops a magnetic field when an electric current flows through it. Depending on the composition of the material.

Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence brings together different technologies, from machine learning to natural language processing, that enable machines to perceive, understand, act and learn. By combining Artificial Intelligence with Machine Vision, we are able to give our systems a decision-making and reaction capacity that is unheard of in the industry.
