Our processes
Eagle Vizion offers state-of-the art optical sorting equipment to the recycled plastic industry. With a large and well-established R&D and engineering team, it offers unique sorting solutions giving recyclers the possibility to reduce rejected materials and increase profitability. Above high-quality colour and NIR optical sorters, EV has developed optical sorting solutions to sort PE by Melt, black plastic by polymer type (PE, PP and co-extruded plastics), micro-flakes (0.5 to 3mm) by polymer type, PET or HDPE bottles, paper, cardboard, wood, compost, aggregates and many other materials on demand. EV also offers optical quality control equipment, allowing recyclers to test their quality in-line and in real time.

Flake sorter
Specification
The Flake Sorter can sort a wide variety of polymers such as PE, PP, PET and PVC, among others, offering optimal product recovery, consistent purity and greater profitability. Our Flake sorters are available in a wide variety of models (roller, chute or conveyors) and throughput capacities to meet your specific needs.
Detection
- Sorts PE, PP, PVC, PET, contaminants (such as paper, wood or glass) and other polymers upon request.
- Particle size: 5 – 25 mm
Color sorter
Description
The Color Sorter can sort your plastics by color.
Detection
- Sorts your plastics by color, RGB
- Color categories can be adjusted to meet customer’s demands.
- Particle size: 5 – 25 mm
Black sorter
Specifications
Eagle Vizion has developed a unique and revolutionary solution: a black polymer flake sorter designed to identify, and sort black plastics based on polymer type.
Detection
- Sorts PE, PP, PE-PP Blends, Others
- Black material identification by type
- Particle size: 8 – 20 mm
Micro-Flake Sorter
Description
The Micro-Flake Sorter can sort a wide variety of polymers such as PE, PP, PET and PVC, among others, for particles down to 0.5mm. This series of sorters can be combined to our other sorting solutions to optimize the throughput of your sorting lines while increasing your material recovery.
Detection
- Sorts PE, PP, PVC, PET, contaminants (such as paper, wood or glass) and other polymers upon request.
- Particle size: 0.5-5 mm
Melt sorter
Description
Post-consumer PE is getting harder and harder to recycle since it’s impossible to guarantee what it’s Melt index will be. Eagle Vizion offers a new solution to help PE recyclers produce a post consumer PE with a controlled Melt index, therefore meeting market expectations –
Detection
- HMW-PE (M = 0.01)
- PE Blow molding grade (M = 0.3-0.8)
- PE Injection molding grade (M = 4++)
- Particle size: 5-25mm
Flake Analyzer
Description
The best quality control instrument in the industry. Can be used as a lab instrument or installed in-line with your own process to validate purity in real-time.
Detection
- Resins (PE Blow, PE Injection, PP, PVC, PETG, PLA, PS, PC, silicone, PMMA, PA, POM, PUR, wood-paper, rubber and others)
- Combined resins/Glued labels (PET-PP, PET-PE, PET-PS, PET-PVC)
- Custom contaminants (aluminum, glass, black, etc.)
- Barriers (nylon, EVOH, etc.)
- Polymer by color (clear, blue, green, amber, etc.)
- Other polymer types on demand
3i Analysis
- Particle distribution by size
- Mass distribution as a function of particle size
- Distribution by color
- Distribution by polymer
- Individual contaminant particle identification
