One channel sorts one stream at a time – multiple channels mean a single unit can split a mixed glass flow into several output streams in one pass.
PICVISA has delivered its first ECOGLASS optical sorting unit configured with dual channels for glass flow separation, with a triple channel configuration also now available as an option.
A standard single-channel unit processes one stream of material and sorts it into accept and reject fractions. A dual or triple channel configuration allows a single ECOGLASS unit to handle multiple incoming streams, or to split a single stream into a greater number of output fractions – useful when a plant needs to separate glass by colour into more categories, or wants to process more than one material flow without installing a separate machine for each.
For plants working with organisations like Ecored on glass recovery, configurations like this can make a meaningful difference to throughput and the variety of output fractions a single sorting line can produce, without a proportional increase in floor space or equipment count.
