PurePlasticMax

Most Efficient Sorter for PRFs

Engineered especially for use in plastic recycling facilities, the CIRRUS PurePlasticMax™ is the industry’s most efficient optical sorter for plastic bottles.

Plastic Sorting for PRFs

The CIRRUS PurePlasticMax™ is an advanced optical sorter for plastic recycling facilities, effectively identifying and sorting various plastic resins, including PET-G, PLA, and black plastics. It employs high-resolution NIR, color, and optional metal sensors for precise analysis of challenging materials like sleeved bottles.  

In an independent study, PurePlasticMax™ topped five other competitors with the highest sorting performance. The study focused on the identification of PET bottles of various colors (substrate) behind partially or fully sleeved labels of various colors.

Best In-Class Optical Sorter

With MaxSelect™ sequential technology, the PurePlasticMax™ optimizes scan rates and wavelength combinations (up to 2,500nm). Its clearLight™ technology ensures superior signal-to-noise ratios without gratings, while automated calibration reduces manual adjustments. The sensor housing’s positive pressure prevents dust accumulation.
