UCY F-series
High-precision optical flake sorting for PET recycling.
The UCY F-series flake sorter delivers high-precision optical purification for regrind and flake fractions—detecting fine colour nuances, foreign polymers, and certain barrier additives in real time.
Optical path and classification.
Dual 4K area-scan cameras per chute
Each chute utilizes two 4K area-scan cameras to track flakes in free-fall, calculating exact particle speed and trajectory for highly accurate, high-yield pneumatic ejection.Multispectral solid-state lighting
Proprietary multispectral LED illumination with fluorescence excitation, engineered for long operational lifetimes without routine lamp replacement.Adaptive AI classification
In-house machine learning models adapt continuously to shifting input qualities without requiring tedious manual recalibrations.Multi-chute re-sorting
Each of the three chutes can be configured independently for primary sorting or re-sorting stages on a single machine.Engineering background
Built from industrial recycling experience.
Developed from operational experience across our own and STF's industrial recycling facilities as well as international customer operations since 2017, F-series is engineered to maximize uptime through solid-state illumination, automated calibration routines, and high-quality pneumatic ejection.
- High-resolution VIS colour, shape, and surface inspection
- Dual area-scan tracking for precise flake velocity and trajectory calculation in free-fall
- Polymer and certain additive detection through fluorescence induced by multispectral backlight
- Low-latency real-time AI processing pipeline
- High-frequency pneumatic valves with sub-millisecond response times
- Optional 4G/5G cellular modem for secure remote diagnostics and updates
