Air Compressors for Recycling Optical Sorters – reliabilty is key

In the world of recycling, efficiency and reliability are paramount. At Avelair, we understand the critical role that high-quality compressed air plays in optimising air compressors for recylcing optical sorters. Optical sorters are advanced machines used widely in the recycling industry to sort a variety of materials such as plastics, metals, and wood. Sorters rely on optical sensors to identify and separate different materials based on their color, size, shape, and chemical composition. The precision of this separation process is integral to reducing waste and increasing the purity of recycled materials.

However, the effectiveness of optical sorters depends heavily on the quality of compressed air used to operate them. The air jets in these sorters are responsible for ejecting identified items into their respective categories. Any contamination in the compressed air can lead to malfunction or deterioration of the sorter’s valves, which can cause significant downtime and increase costs.

At Avelair, our engineering team specialises in the design and manufacture of industrial air compressors for recycling optical sorters that deliver the cleanest air possible, ensuring that your optical sorters operate at peak efficiency. We offer a complete turnkey package which includes the design of the compressed air system, the manufacture of the compressor itself, and the installation of all necessary equipment and pipework.

Our experience in the recycling industry has taught us about the unique challenges posed by different environments, which can often be dusty and detrimental to compressed air systems. To address these challenges, we provide advanced solutions such as dual-stage airend filtration and dust ingress protection packages. These additions are designed to enhance the durability and reliability of your air compressors, even in the harshest conditions.

Over the years, we have installed numerous reliable compressed air systems in recycling sites across the country. Our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction is reflected in our comprehensive aftercare support, which ensures that any issues are resolved quickly and your operations run smoothly without interruption.
