Plastic Sorting Machine
Before recycling, most plastics are sorted according to their resin type. Most plastic reclaimers do not rely on the RIC now; they use various sorting systems to identify the resin, ranging from manual sorting and picking of plastic materials to automated mechanical processes that involve shredding, sieving, separation by density, air, liquid, or magnetic, and complex spectrophotometric distribution technologies e.g. UV/VIS, NIR, laser, etc.
