ZenRobotics now sorts bags

Helsinki-based ZenRobotics says its ZenRobotics Recycler (ZRR) now not only sorts construction and demolition (C&D) debris but also offers a solution for municipal solid waste (MSW): bag sorting for source-separated MSW.

The company’s first step toward the MSW market is a ZRR that picks plastic bags weighing as much as 30 kilograms (66 pounds) by color. The ZRR also makes it easy to recover unopened bags from other loose municipal solid waste, the company says.

As a bag sorting application, a ZRR3 recovers up to 18 fractions in one spot in a single pass, using three successive arms, according to ZenRobotics. The system can do a positive, a negative or a hybrid sort, with throughput of up to 50 metric tons (55 short tons) per hour.

Furthermore, the company adds, a variety of other materials can be sorted with the same system at the same time. A ZRR3 with three arms can make up to 6,000 picks per hour.
