Video: Automated line for sorting waste material kept in "yellow bins"

This automatic separating line is used to treat waste material kept in “yellow bins”, i.e. PET bottles, aluminum and iron cans. It is designed for a capacity of 1,200 kg/hour.

At first, the ferromagnetic cans are sorted by means of an overband magnet suspended above a belt conveyor. Aluminum cans are separated from PET bottles by an eddy current separator ECS-C RAM (the uniform layer of the material entering the eddy current separator is ensured by a vibrating feeder).
