Tomra Sorting to highlight Autosort Flake line at K 2016

Equipment company will showcase next-generation sensor technology at plastics and rubber show in Germany.


Tomra Sorting, Wedel, Germany, has announced that its Recycling division will be featuring the company’s Autosort Flake line at the upcoming K 2016, which will be held in Dusseldorf, Germany, 19-26 October.

Tomra says the Autosort Flake, which was launched toward the end of 2015, exemplifies the company’s next-generation sensor technology. In addition to sorting plastics, the Autosort Flake detects metal. The company says the unit's twin-processing mode offers customers the best possible throughput and a constant high-caliber output.

In addition to its launch specifications, the Autosort Flake now incorporates the reflect option. This feature allows the customer more flexibility to sort all types of polymers by type and color and can be upgraded with existing Autosort Flake systems.

Frédéric Durand, head of Tomra Sorting France, says “K show 2016 is the ideal platform for us to discuss any individual project, and the technology itself is just one important part of what makes a good sorting solution. Our intensive experience and knowledge of applications, coupled with our comprehensive and integrated service approach, offers our customers a practical, well-rounded package.”
