PET bales collected for recycling often contain a range of contaminants—non-PET plastics, bottles with PVC sleeves, aluminum rings, and colored PET. These impurities, if not removed, degrade the quality and value of recycled PET.
To meet the industry’s demand for premium recycled PET, recyclers need to reduce contamination to extremely low levels, often measured in parts per million (ppm). Lower ppm means higher-quality output.
Ishitva®’s AI-powered sorting solutions are designed to detect and eliminate all major impurities in a single pass. Leveraging advanced sensor-based detection and machine learning, our technology enables recyclers to meet strict quality benchmarks, improve sorting efficiency, and produce high-value recycled PET with minimal manual intervention.
Bottle-to-Bottle Grade Sorting
Sorting for Food-Grade Applications
Recyclers producing food-grade PET must ensure that only safe, compliant bottles are included in the process. PET bales often include non-PET materials, PVC-labelled bottles, colored PET, aluminum components, and non-food grade containers—each a potential contaminant.
Ishitva®’s intelligent sorting systems can either:
Eject all non-food grade PET and contaminants, or
Precisely extract only food-grade PET bottles—based on the recycler’s requirements.
Powered by AI and real-time sensor technology, our machines identify and sort material with high accuracy, supporting regulatory compliance and enhancing the quality of food-grade recycled output.
Bottle-to-Fiber Grade Sorting
Optimizing PET for Fiber Applications
To convert PET into polyester fiber, recyclers must eliminate impurities that compromise fiber consistency and quality. Common contaminants include non-PET plastics, PVC-sleeved bottles, aluminum rings, and especially colored PET.
Ishitva®’s automated AI-driven systems effectively remove non-PET materials and sort bottles by color—clear, light blue, green, and more—tailored to specific processing requirements.
The result: cleaner PET flakes, improved fiber quality, reduced manual sorting, and more efficient operations.
99% Pure Clear PET Fraction
Achieving Highest Clarity for Premium Recycled PET
Clear PET is often the most desirable fraction for high-end recycling applications. However, mixed PET bales typically include bottles in various colors along with other impurities like caps and labels.
Ishitva®’s advanced sorting solution uses powerful AI and precision sensors to isolate clear PET bottles with up to 99% purity. The system ensures consistent clarity and superior material quality, while significantly reducing the need for manual handling.
Ishitva®: Precision. Purity. Performance. Unlock the full potential of PET recycling with AI-powered sorting solutions designed for today’s challenges and tomorrow’s standards.
