    Optimize Cost Marketability

    The ultimate optical sorting solution for MRFs significantly enhances fiber purity, improving marketability and providing quick returns on investment. In a 2017 independent study, an impressive 96.6% sorting efficiency was achieved for flexible plastics packaging (FPP) from mixed paper in a commercial single-stream MRF, using a spiked sample of over 23,000 pieces of FPP to ensure statistically relevant data.

    Unmatched Detection Accuracy

    Leveraging the CIRRUS sensor platform, this system offers superior detection accuracy and flexibility. With MaxSelect™ and ClearLight™ technologies, it delivers high-definition imaging without the need for hardware modifications. Operating at belt speeds of 1,000 feet/minute and utilizing MSS’ Precision Flow Hood, one unit can replace 20 manual QC sorters, achieving 600-800 picks per minute.
