Applications
Targeted sorting solutions across every recycling stage.
From post-consumer bulk waste to bottle-to-bottle flake purification and inline quality inspection, UCY platforms provide dedicated optical sorting solutions across the entire recycling process.
Waste sorting
High-throughput sorting for mixed waste and rigid plastics.
UCY A-series separates complex, highly contaminated bulk streams into pure polymer and colour fractions. Rugged enclosures, heavy-duty conveyor integration, and high-flow Made-in-Germany pneumatic valves ensure reliable 24/7 industrial operation.
UCY A-series
PET bottle sorting
High-purity sorting for PET bottle recycling.
Precise colour separation, polymer verification, and specialized classification (such as food-grade vs. non-food containers) maximize bottle-to-bottle yields while minimizing manual sorting requirements.
UCY A-series
Flake sorting
Precision purification for PET flakes and regrind.
UCY F-series distinguishes fine colour nuances, certain barrier additives, and foreign polymer particles (such as PVC or PE/PP) down to millimeter scale, preparing flakes for direct bottle-to-bottle extrusion and thermoforming.
UCY F-series
Quality inspection
Inline purity monitoring and granulator protection.
UCY Q-series inspects running material flows directly above conveyor lines, generating continuous quality logs, flagging contamination spikes, and sending emergency interlock signals before uncrushable contaminants damage granulators.
