Next-Generation Optical Fiber Sorting Technology
Based on the popular CIRRUS® sensor platform, the FiberMax™ provides operation flexibility and top of the line sensing capabilities. MaxSelect™ utilizes patented sequential technology for the highest-definition image possible. High number of NIR and color wavelengths make it possible to change sort setups by only software programming, no hardware changes required. ClearLight™ technology provides the best signal-to-noise ratio of any optical sorter in the recycling industry. MSS doesn’t use gratings or light beam splitters, so detectors receive the maximum amount of reflected light possible, allowing for the most accurate detection of highly transparent items such as lightweight single-serve PET bottles..
Take Control of Operating Cost and Product Marketability
As the ultimate optical fiber sorting solution for MRFs, FiberMax™ reduces head-count on the Fiber QC line while greatly improving fiber purity for best marketability, reducing exposure to market risks such as “Green Fence” or National Sword.” Operators across the country are seeing quick returns on investment.
The Material Handling Experts
Maximizing material recovery relies on proper material handling. MSS uses high-velocity belt speeds of 1,000 feet/minute (5 meters per second). This enables proper material distribution that results in minimal collateral damage, giving FiberMax™ a competitive advantage over the other sorters. One FiberMax™ does the job of 20 manual QC sorters, averaging 600-800 picks per minute.
Reduce Headcount
Eliminate multiple manual sorters on fiber QC line with FiberMax™ automated sorting. Averaging 600‑800 picks per minute, 1 FiberMax™ does the job of 20 manual QC sorters.
FiberMax™ Sort Efficiency
In an independent 2017 study, FiberMax™ achieved a 96.6% sorting efficiency of flexible plastics packaging (FPP) such as film, bags, pouches, etc. from mixed paper in a commercial single-stream MRF. Over 23,000 pieces of FPP were artificially added to the input material in order to create a “spiked” sample that generated statistically relevant data.
