Sorting of paper and OCC

Redwave can separate valuable paper fractions with a high degree of purity. The material’s color and composition can be identified using near-infrared technology, allowing it to be sorted by type and/or color.

The requirements of the paper industry in the coming years demand a completely new understanding of quality and material availability. Changes in our demographic and economic behavior are consequently also increasing the demands on sorting machines.

To give customers the best possible ability to address future challenges, the Redwave 2i was specifically developed to meet the upcoming requirements of the paper industry. Based on the highly successful NIR/C technology, the Redwave 2i has been improved and optimized in many ways, over multiple stages, making it a future-oriented solution for sorting paper and cardboard.

Separation of paper and cardboard

Redwave can separate paper and OCC in different grades, e.g.:

		Printed paper (newspaper, magazines, catalogues)
		Brown and grey paper
		Laminated paper
		Boxes
		Wastepaper (office paper, printed paper)
		Corrugated cardboard
		Tetra Pak
		Syntehetic paper

Plastic, rubber, metal, and other unwanted materials can be separated. Sorting and separation of paper and cardboard provide economic benefits, higher plant capacity, and high quality/purity in the final fractions. Redwave has developed a machine that can sort paper and cardboard, as well as the associated contaminants. You can read more about the sorting machine here: 2i.
