MSS Optical Sorters have what it takes to automatically sort and clean contaminated, pre-shredded green waste streams. Our technology, used in combination with mechanical pre-processing systems (grinding, sizing, air classification, etc.), is applied to remove prohibitive contaminants (plastics, metals) from your green waste automatically, and generates a contaminant-free green waste product for composting or anaerobic digestion.
Ultra-Efficient Separation, Powerful Optical Sorters
There are two main areas in green waste processing facilities where MSS optical sorters are in a position to provide added value for our customers. The automated removal of any plastics and metals are two of the most commonly preferred applications.
CIRRUS™ with MaxSelect™
Our newest generation NIR separator, with up to 16x the pixel resolution than other optical sorters. It truly provides optical sorting in high definition! We can also build it wider than any of our other machines. So if you are looking to process high throughputs the CIRRUS™ will provide you with an ultra-efficient and unmatched sorting performance.
MetalMiner™
Our longest running sensor-based technology! We have used our own induction-based metal detection technology for more than 30 years in dozens of different applications. The latest generation provides maximum sensitivity at low cost and durability. As a stand-alone unit, the MetalSort™ provides for the removal of metal contaminants (ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless) from food waste streams.
