AI Waste Sorting Robot

It learns from what it sees: the camera scans the belt, the algorithm recognises the material, the arm picks it up and drops it in the right bin, endlessly.

Sustainability impact

Equipment engineered for long-lasting operation and built from recyclable materials, in line with the principles of the circular economy.

Key features

It recognises over 20 materials

the algorithm is trained on hundreds of thousands of images, so it tells wood from wet cardboard and stone from polystyrene foam, at over 90% accuracy.

4000 picks per hour, nonstop

it works around the clock, with no breaks, no drop in attention and no staff turnover, which is the real problem with manual sorting.

It gets better over time

every scanned object enters the database, so the robot learns the new packaging in your flow without being reprogrammed.

Product description

An AI waste sorting robot does what no mechanical separator can: it looks at an object, recognises it and decides what to do with it. Not on the basis of size or density, but on the basis of what it sees, exactly like a human operator, only without breaks and…

Municipal waste

Municipal waste sorting plants, from the bag to recoverable material

Household waste arrives mixed and bagged. A sorting plant opens it, screens it into size fractions, separates the light material from the heavy one and extracts metals, plastic, paper and glass. We configure complete lines and also supply the individual machines, from the bag opener and trommel screen through to the magnetic and eddy current separators, the optical sorters and the balers.
