Tomra introduces Innosort Flake
Tomra has added a new product called Innosort Flake to its line up.
The new product sorts polymers by material type and colour, removing any impurities to create pure fractions.
The company states that using this new machine will enable the purchaser to recycle a wider range of materials that might otherwise be lost or downcycled such as polyolefins (PO), including polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), which are commonly found commingled in the same waste stream.
Alberto Piovesan, global segment manager plastics at TOMRA Recycling Sorting, said: “Given recycled content targets in Europe and elsewhere, the market needs to prepare for future demand. Recyclers need solutions to produce high-quality post-consumer recycled content in sufficient volumes. At the same time, they strive for reliable sorting results and operational flexibility. With the new INNOSORT™ FLAKE, this is now possible.”
