Tomra Sorting Recycling displays X-Tract at IFAT 2016

Norway-based Tomra Sorting Recycling says it plans to showcase its X-Tract X-ray sorting machine at IFAT 2016, one of the world's leading trade fairs for environmental technologies. The company will be in Hall C2 at Stand 339/438 at the event, which is scheduled for 30 May 30 to 3 June in Munich.

In its newly launched format, the X-Tract is “an even more powerful and efficient sorting tool, equipped with a new sensor, which further boosts the machine’s performance and stability,” Tomra says. “For operators, the enhanced sorting system can secure higher metal recovery purity, fewer product losses, consistent product quality and ensure the recovery of salable byproducts,” the company states in a news release.

Tomra Sorting Recycling says its designers have reduced the machine's operating costs in addition to delivering these upgraded fractions.

New user-friendly features include an intuitive and flexible touch-screen interface for process control and adjustment, the company adds.

Tomra also says it plans feature Tomra Care, “a customer care system designed to yield peak performance, long-term operational efficiency and maximum business value across the entire product life cycle.”

Jonathan Clarke, global sales director at Tomra Sorting Recycling, says, “Our expertise in extracting high-purity fractions from waste streams whilst maximizing both yields and profits, makes IFAT 2016 the perfect stage to highlight our new X-Tract. Its advanced features will appeal to a broad range of customers, and its robust build has brought the further advantages of greater efficiency and a longer operational lifespan.”

He adds, “By presenting Tomra Care at the event, as well, it gives us the opportunity to illustrate our commitment to the customer-centric approach. For Tomra Sorting, service begins at the prepurchase phase where guided decision-making can deliver major benefits for prudent buyers and extends to the operational life of plant facilities.”
