NRT SpydIR-HS
National Recovery Technologies (NRT), the Nashville, Tennessee-based optical sorting subsidiary of Bulk Handling Systems (BHS), Eugene, Oregon, has launched the SpydIR-HS optical sorter, which it describes as a near-infrared (NIR) platform with multiple technological advancements. Some of its features include:
- NIR identification of multiple plastic types with its hyperspectral imaging (HSI) camera
- the ability to remove cardboard, paper and other fiber from a container stream
- factory calibration made possible by the machine’s HSI technology and NRT’s software algorithms that save owners from having to routinely calibrate the machine
- an In-Flight Sorting technology, which detects and ejects material while in midair, eliminating motion-related errors and belt interference while boosting purity levels
