ZenRobotics Ltd., headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, has introduced a fully renewed robotic waste sorting system as an additional robotic recycling method. The Next Generation ZenRobotics Recycler (ZRR) doubles the capacity of the company’s first robotic heavy waste sorting system, which ZenRobotics launched in 2012.
ZenRobotics says the Next Generation ZRR incorporates both the speed of its previous ZRR Fast Picker model and the strength of the company’s previous ZRR Heavy Picker—all in a multipurpose solution.
“During the past year, we have focused on dramatically improving both the speed and the capacity. We have developed completely new hardware that enables fully automated waste sorting. Now we are breaking speed records all the time,” says ZenRobotics CEO Timo Taalas.
Taalas says the Next Generation ZRR can sort on average 3,000 picks per hour, with a peak sorting speed of up to 4,000 picks per hour.
The updated system also includes a new gripper that can pick up bigger and heavier objects compared with its previous model, according to the company. With the new waste sorting system, ZenRobotics says fractions up to 50 centimeters wide and 20 kilograms in weight are no longer a problem to process.
ZenRobotics says the Next Generation ZRR is ideally suited for a demanding heavy waste processing environment, including sorting heavy and large fractions in the construction and demolition sector.
