Optical Sorting Machines for Paper

The paper industry has high standards for de-inked paper. REDWAVE, a sensor-based technology, is able to achieve these requirements with the highest precision. Standard applications are carried out via Near-Infrared Technology (NIR) in combination with color sensor.

Paper sorting REDWAVE machines offer the unique feature of quantitative identification of kaolin, cellulose, lignin and moisture. Furthermore, newspapers with flexoprint can be detected and separated. Together with other well-known companies, REDWAVE researches intensively in the area of automated paper separation.
