Grün VPC Series Sorting System

The sorting challenge for plastic flakes lies in the fact that color consistency directly determines material value. Even when mixed-color flakes are perfectly clean and uniform in particle size, their market value remains significantly lower than that of color-sorted output. For recycling pre-processing plants, the ability to efficiently sort flakes by color, including subtle shade variations difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, is the key to transforming low-value mixed material into high-purity, premium-quality material ready for high-end reprocessing.

The Grün VPC Series is a machine-vision-based sorting system tailored for this exact scenario. It employs high-resolution RGB (HR-RGB) VIS Imaging technology to perform real-time scanning and surface feature analysis of plastic flakes. Working in conjunction with high-performance air ejectors, it can efficiently identify and recover target-color plastic flakes from the material stream within milliseconds based on color differences. For enhanced detection and recovery of light-colored flakes, the system also offers optional near-infrared (NIR) imaging, extending sorting capability beyond the visible spectrum.

Technical Features
