Already in use with leading operators:
Make the invisible visible.
The material flow often lies in thick layers on the conveyor belt. Optical cameras fail to detect objects that are deeply hidden within the material flow. X.Sort sees deeper. X-ray technology scans the fractions, and artificial intelligence (AI) analyzes them, providing your plant with a double layer of protection:
Fire safety
Individual lithium-ion batteries and electronic devices are hidden deep within the waste. X.Sort reliably detects these ticking time bombs. They have been proven to reduce your fire risk by over 90%!
Protection of the mechanics
A large piece of metal or a gas cartridge can bring your shredder to a standstill. Our X-ray technology detects these extreme contaminants in time. The system sorts them out before they cause costly damage.
X.Sort detects the following contaminants in the material stream:
Designed for your material flows
Each material has different fire safety and mechanical requirements. X.Sort specializes in the most demanding operating conditions and reliably safeguards the following material flows, among others:
Leightweight packaging
Residual waste
Commercial waste
Waste wood
E-waste
Paper
Technical highlights of X.Sort
Your sorting system requires speed and extreme power. X.Sort delivers exactly this combination through solid mechanical engineering.
50 cm
X-ray transmission (XRT) reliably penetrates opaque layers of material up to 50 centimeters thick.
deep penetration
0.5 s
The AI evaluates each object in 0.5 s—even at conveyor belt speeds of up to 4 m/s.
high-speed analysis
9 kg
The compressed-air nozzle bar reliably blows even heavy batteries and debris weighing up to 9 kg out of the circuit.
Uncompromising ejection
“The most dangerous batteries are the ones you can’t see from the outside. With X.Sort, we make this very risk visible in the material stream—and remove it before it catches fire.”
Nathanael Laier, Co-Founder and Co-CEO at WeSort.AI
The right system for your material flow
Every facility has its own requirements—in terms of throughput, space constraints, and material characteristics. That’s why X.Sort is available in two versions: one for maximum power on the main line, and one for precise use where standard solutions fall short.

X.Sort M: Specialized precision
For bulky materials, electronic waste (WEEE), or long parts in confined spaces.
-
Retrofitting: Easy integration into existing lines thanks to its compact design
-
Flexibility: Freely selectable discharge mechanism (e.g., paddles, pick-by-light, or automatic belt stop)
-
Speed: Belt speed can be adjusted to match downstream machinery or manual sorting
Fire safety that pays off
Security is not merely a cost factor, but a solid way to safeguard profits. Based on actual operational data, X.Sort often pays for itself in just a few years, since we tackle the risk head-on:
Make a living
A battery fire can destroy your entire system. X.Sort stops the danger before a spark is even generated.
Avoid stagnation
No unplanned downtime due to burning material or jammed foreign objects. Your line keeps running.
Optimize insurance policies
You can demonstrate a measurable reduction in risk. That is your strongest argument for better negotiations.
Improve quality
In addition to fire protection, you can precisely remove impurities, thereby increasing the purity of your final fractions.
Proven in continuous use
Security is not just a promise. Our systems are installed in some of Europe’s most advanced facilities and deliver measurable results every day:
>90%
fewer battery-related fires
Following a major fire, KORN Recycling integrated the X.Sort directly after the input module to remove batteries and electrical devices from the main stream at an early stage. The system processes approximately 100,000 metric tons of commercial waste per year.
-
98% uptime
-
Average of 12.5 kg/h of hazardous materials removed
-
>90% fewer battery-related fires
