UCY A-series

High-throughput belt sorting for bottles, bulk plastics, and waste.

UCY A-series is a modular belt sorting platform engineered for demanding industrial recycling environments. Configurable sensor packages, rugged enclosures, and high-speed pneumatic arrays adapt seamlessly to diverse plant layouts and material streams.

Integrated platform capabilities.

High-resolution VIS imaging

High-speed line-scan cameras capture colour, geometry, and surface details across the belt for precise container and material separation.

Inductive metal detection

Optional high-sensitivity inductive sensor array detects and pinpoints ferrous and non-ferrous metal contaminants.

Hyperspectral SWIR

Short-Wave Infrared spectroscopy enables precise polymer identification across PET, PE, PP, PS, and other target plastics.

Real-time AI classification

Object-centric machine learning models evaluate entire items rather than individual pixels, reliably handling overlapping or tumbling material.

Configurations

Working widths and sensor packages.

Available in working widths of 1,050 mm, 1,400 mm, 2,100 mm, and 2,800 mm. The platform can be configured for high-resolution visual colour sorting, combined colour and NIR/SWIR polymer identification, or custom multi-sensor combinations.

  • Optional high-resolution inductive metal detection module
  • Continuous AI model optimization and remote adaptation to changing input
  • Multi-track and split-lane sorting configurations across the belt width
  • Integrated 4G/5G cellular modem for independent remote diagnostics and updates
  • Autonomous offline operation with optional secure networking for remote support and telemetry
  • Standard industrial I/O (SORTING ACTIVE, FAULT, ENABLE) with EtherCAT, Profinet, and other fieldbuses on request
  • Ambient operating temperature +5 °C to +40 °C, 5–95% non-condensing relative humidity
