Two installations at the same plant is a strong signal – when a customer comes back for a second ECOGLASS unit, it usually means the first one is already delivering the separation quality the operation needs.
The UTE Explotación Onda plant now runs two ECOGLASS units side by side, a setup that reflects how glass valorization works best when sorting capacity is matched to the volume and variety of material a plant actually handles.
ECOGLASS uses optical sensors to separate glass by colour and to identify and remove contaminants – ceramics, stones, opaque glass, metal – that would otherwise reduce the value of the recovered cullet. Running two units in parallel allows the plant to process higher volumes while maintaining the separation accuracy each stream needs.
For PICVISA, installations like this one are proof that the technology performs at scale, not just in pilot conditions – and for the plant operator, it means more recovered glass reaching the quality threshold required for remelting into new glass products, rather than being downgraded or lost to residue.
