Robotic waste sorting equipment from Eugene, Oregon based Bulk Handling System's Max-AI®AQC (Autonomous Quality Control) product line has expanded with the release of the AQC-2 for paper sorting applications.
BHS explained that Max-AI technology employs artificial intelligence (AI) to make material identification and selection decisions; high-speed robotic sorters carry out the sorting. The AQC-2 features two robotic sorters and is said to be able to sort on belt widths up to 72” (1800mm).
According to the company, the release of the AQC-2 complements the earlier release of the AQC-1, which has been used to sort containers and contamination in plastics and metals, and to recover high value items from residue.
The new capabilities coincide with the industry's demand for technology to create a clean news product. The AQC-2 sorts at speeds superior to manual sorting while recovering cardboard, containers and plastic film and removing contamination to create a clean news product.
