MATERIAL IDENTIFICATION & SORTING (Plastics & Composites)

A pilot-scale material identification and sorting line combining FTIR and XRF spectroscopy with density-based separation. The system enables washing, crushing and hydrocylone separation to evaluate the recyclability, purity and processing performance of industrial plastic and composite streams. It supports studies on contaminant removal, feedstock upgrading and sorting route optimisation for post-consumer or mixed plastic fractions. Suitable for feasibility testing and early-stage circularity assessments.
