Details about the CLARITY multiway:
The CLARITY multiway sorting system is now in use in Connelsville, PA for single-stream processing. The machine, designed as a three-way system, sorts two end products from two tons of mixed plastic per hour, which are sold for reuse. The NIR technology (near-infrared) sorting system uses a single sensor to produce a high-quality PET and a high-quality HDPE fraction.

Binder + Co and CAP have been working together for over 20 years: CAP operates three glass recycling plants in Pennsylvania (Allentown, Connelsville and Mt. Pleasant) exclusively with Binder+Co machines. In total, this results in about 30 CLARITY sorting systems!

The new trash-import-regulation of China and the consequent stop of imports of lightwaste of western industry states has made it necessary for Binder+Co to step up and respond to: So the current market problems served as a starting point for our product development.
Binder+Co now presented at IFAT the CLARITY multiway sorting sytem for light packaging waste, which produces up to five high-quality fractions (and one extra pass through) with just one sensor. Thus, the required product qualities of the secondary raw material can be ensured and a continued use of plastic waste is enabled.
The popularity and demand of our visitors at IFAT has shown that we are on the right path. Space-saving solutions that are versatile in customization and guarantee high product qualities are contemporary and the technology of the future.
From this perspective IFAT was a complete success for Binder+Co!
