Tomra Sorting, headquartered in Asker, Norway, will exhibit at REW Istanbul 28-30 April 2016. Experts from the company will share Stand C20-C26 in Hall 14 with the company’s agent in Turkey, KOAS Consulting and Machine Industry Co.
Tomra says it will share the latest developments in sensor-based sorting technology, with a particular focus on plastics recycling and the recovery of recyclables from municipal solid waste (MSW).
The company says it will highlight its recently launched second-generation flake sorter, the Autosort Flake, the first unit to simultaneously combine colour detection, enhanced material information and metal detection to maximise the recovery of high-quality recycled products to meet the requirements set by today’s discerning customers. The Autosort Flake is aimed at the plastics recycling industry and has been designed to deliver a complete bottles-to-flake solution for upgrading plastics.
Experts from Tomra also will be able to answer questions about the company’s Autosort technology, which uses a range of detection techniques to help plants recover 85 per cent of material at purity rates of more than 90%, the company says.
Tasos Bereketidis, regional director, Middle East and Africa, at Tomra Sorting, comments: “We are very proud of the strong reputation we’ve established in Turkey over the past six years. We now have over 60 Tomra sorting units installed in the Turkish market and have recently secured a number of new contracts, including a new state-of-the-art multi-million-euro MSW sorting plant in Bilecik, Turkey.
“As Turkey’s only international exhibition focusing on environmental technologies, REW Istanbul presents an ideal opportunity for us to share the very latest innovations in sensor-based sorting technology and highlight the benefits of optical sorting for the recovery of valuable materials from plastics recycling and MSW,” Bereketidis adds.
Tomra says Turkey and the Middle East region remain key target areas for the company, which has installed more than 4,400 sensor-based sorting systems in waste and metal recycling applications in 40 countries worldwide.
