Resource Efficiency and Sustainable Production
Sesotec RE-SORT is a mobile metal-separation system developed to reliably remove metal contaminants from plastic granules and regrind that have previously been rejected during production, allowing valuable good material to be returned to the production cycle.
The system removes magnetic and non-magnetic metallic foreign bodies even from heavily contaminated materials, allowing the cleaned plastic to be returned to the material flow.
RE-SORT helps prevent materials rejected due to metal contamination from being treated entirely as waste. Recovering up to 98% of good material helps reduce raw-material losses and production costs.
- Up to 98% recovery of good material
- Reduced raw-material losses
- More efficient use of resources
- Helps reduce production costs
- Return of separated material to production
The material to be processed first enters the sorting system through the feed hopper and is distributed in a controlled manner by a vibratory chute.
The granulate then passes through the EXTRACTOR-J magnetic system to remove ferrous metal particles. After this pre-cleaning stage, the material passes through the RAPID VARIO-FS metal separator, where remaining magnetic and non-magnetic metal contaminants are removed from the product stream.
- EXTRACTOR-J magnetic separation system in the first stage
- Pre-separation of ferromagnetic metal particles
- RAPID VARIO-FS metal separator in the second stage
- Separation of remaining magnetic metallic foreign bodies
- Separation of non-magnetic metal contaminants
RE-SORT can be quickly deployed at different points in the production plant as a compact, mobile standalone unit. This allows metal-cleaning operations to be carried out wherever required—in production, quality-control or material-storage areas—rather than at a single fixed location.
- Mobile standalone system
- Fast commissioning
- Flexible use at different production points
- Use in quality-control areas
- Use in material-storage areas
In addition to standalone operation, RE-SORT can be integrated into central material-conveying systems. In this configuration, the system acts as a pre-cleaning station that removes metal contaminants before material enters the main production process.

- Reprocessing of plastics rejected due to metal contamination
RE-SORT enables plastic materials previously rejected due to metal contamination to be cleaned again and returned to the production process. This minimises good-product losses while helping reduce raw-material consumption, waste volume and production costs.
