The starting point: A powder keg of batteries
At high belt speeds, manual sorting is not just impossible—it’s life-threatening. Missing hazardous materials risks far more than just a contaminated fraction.
Fire hazard: Lithium-ion batteries ignite instantly when crushed in the shredder or any other part of the plant.
Explosion risk: Gas cartridges become unpredictable projectiles when crushed.
Plant damage: Solid metal parts or long items can damage the shredder.
Costly downtime: A single incident often shuts down the entire plant for days.
The solution adapts to your process—not the other way around.
Every material stream follows its own set of rules. A shredder used in metal recycling requires different protection to a sorting line for lightweight packaging. That is why we offer two approaches, depending on how you wish to discharge the material from your process.
AI with integrated discharge (mass throughput)
This version is the complete package for automated processes. The AI recognises the material and directly controls the integrated nozzle bar. Ideal for high throughputs where ejection must take place in fractions of a second (speeds of up to 4 m/s).
Analysis unit for flexible mechanics
If you need maximum flexibility in terms of mechanics, you’ve come to the right place. The X.Sort M can be retrofitted into existing systems with remarkable ease. The AI precisely controls the discharge mechanism that best suits your requirements – whether that be paddles, pick-by-light systems, manual sorting stations or the automatic shutdown of the system.
E-waste
Lightweight packaging
AI-powered detection of contaminants and hazards
Where optical systems reach their limits, our technology scans the entire material stream. We combine X-ray transmission (XRT) with artificial intelligence to analyze material density and structure in real time.
