TOMRA’s experts will be on stand B6.339/438 to highlight the company’s continued commitment to leading the resource revolution, with TOMRA’s chosen theme for IFAT 2024 being ‘Transforming Resource Recovery’.
The industry’s latest AI-powered solution enabling food-grade sorting
With forthcoming changes to EU legislation governing packaging waste and recycled plastic food contact materials, TOMRA is anticipating a lot of interest among IFAT visitors in the latest advances to its GAINnext™ technology. Thanks to TOMRA’s continued investment in the company’s AI-powered deep learning technology – available as an add-on for its AUTOSORT™ units – it is now possible to separate food-grade from non-food-grade plastics for PET, PP and HDPE on a large scale with exceptional purity levels of over 95%.
TOMRA has used AI technology to improve sorting performance for decades, but this latest groundbreaking application marks another industry first for TOMRA who also introduced the first deep learning technology for waste sorting in 2019. With this latest sophisticated application of deep learning and AI, TOMRA has once again demonstrated its position as a pioneer in the AI-powered transformation of recycling.
More IFAT highlights: From flake sorting to aluminum alloy sorting
Visitors to TOMRA’s stand will also be able to learn about the company’s recently launched solution for high-throughput purification of plastic flakes, INNOSORT™ FLAKE. The unit ensures unrivaled flake sorting performance even from highly contaminated inputs thanks to its enhanced features which enable simultaneous flake sorting by polymer, color and transparency. Launched in November 2023, TOMRA’s INNOSORT™ FLAKE solution is helping customers globally to recover more recyclable materials with maximum yield from a vast range of waste streams.
For those visitors interested in finding out more about TOMRA’s latest metal recycling solutions, TOMRA’s metals experts will be on hand at the show to highlight the company’s AUTOSORT™ PULSE unit. Designed for high throughput sorting of aluminum alloys, AUTOSORT™ PULSE features dynamic laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). The solution redefines industry standards and paves the way for high-throughput production of green aluminum. And, thanks to its AI-based object singulation feature, even overlapping and adjacent objects can be accurately separated to maximize yield.
