How can we help your business?

Recycling materials sorting

For the recycling industry, we provide color and polymer separators for testing, which make it possible to sort plastics (including PET, HDPE, PP, PVC, etc.) in terms of color, shape and polymer composition differences. In addition, for difficult materials, we perform spectroscopic analysis to support customers in finding the best technological solution that exists on the market, allowing increasing the recovery of recyclable products, fully identifying with the idea of the Circular Economy.

Benefits of material sorting tests

Why material testing is important?

Performance Verification

Conducting tests ensures that the optical sorting machine meets specific performance criteria and is capable of handling the materials as required. This verification helps avoid the risk of investing in equipment that may not meet operational needs.

Customization and Optimization

Material testing allows for the customization and optimization of the sorting machine according to the specific types of materials the customer needs to process. This ensures that the machine is tailored to the unique requirements of the business, improving sorting accuracy and efficiency.

Cost Savings

By testing materials beforehand, businesses can avoid the high costs associated with purchasing an unsuitable sorting solution. It helps identify the most cost-effective machine that delivers the desired results, thereby optimizing the investment and reducing unnecessary expenditure on future adjustments or replacements.

Technical Support and Education

During the testing phase, customers receive valuable support and education from the machine’s technical team. This includes explanations of the sorting process, assistance in understanding the machine’s features, and advice on how to maximize its efficiency and effectiveness.

Proof of Concept

Material testing serves as a proof of concept, demonstrating that the sorting technology can handle the specific challenges presented by the customer’s materials. This can be especially important for businesses dealing with unique or challenging sorting requirements.

Risk Reduction

Testing materials with the sorting machine before purchase significantly reduces the business risk associated with new technology adoption. It provides a practical demonstration of how the machine works with the actual materials, thereby reducing uncertainties and potential operational risks.

Enhanced Recovery Rates

For recycling industries, testing helps in identifying the most efficient sorting solutions that can improve the recovery rates of recyclable materials, supporting sustainability goals and the principles of the Circular Economy.

Adaptability to Market Changes

Testing different materials allows businesses to adapt to market changes by understanding how different types of materials can be sorted and processed. This flexibility can be crucial in responding to shifts in supply, demand, and regulatory requirements.

Quality Assurance

Material testing helps ensure that the final sorted product will meet quality standards. This is particularly important in industries like food processing and recycling, where the purity and cleanliness of sorted materials are critical.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How can I schedule a test at Meyer Europe’s test center?

    Contact the representative in your region or email us at sales@meyer-corp.eu. Our sales team will provide detailed instructions on how to prepare and send your materials to the test center.

  • Can I observe the testing process at Meyer Europe’s test center?

    Yes, the entire process begins with sending us your material samples, followed by our service team developing the sorting solutions. Finally, we invite you to our test center, where you can observe the results of both our work and the sorter in action.

  • What is the typical turnaround time for test results at Meyer Europe’s test center?

    The duration of the testing process depends on several factors, including the level of material contamination, sorting process expectations, and desired outcomes. Typically, preparing sorting solutions takes up to 2 weeks. After this period, our sales representative will either schedule a live testing date with you or send you sorting materials (videos, photos of the material, along with descriptions of the sorting stages and material samples).

  • Do I need to prepare my materials in any specific way before bringing them to the test center?

    To achieve the best sorting results and receive the best solutions to your company’s needs, please prepare a sample of the standard material you wish to sort. It is recommended to prepare several material fractions, in the quantity depending on arrangements with our sales representative:

    • Mixed Fraction: The standard material you want to sort.
    • Accept Fraction: Showing the sorting effect you wish to achieve.
    • Reject Fraction: A sample containing the contaminants you want to remove from your standard material.

    Additionally, please provide a detailed description to our sales representative of your expectations and the fractions you want to separate during the sorting process.

    This will ensure that the tests are conducted with the necessary precision and meet your company’s requirements. With a well-executed process, we can select the appropriate machines that meet your efficiency and material purity needs.

  • Can Meyer Europe’s test center assist with developing custom sorting solutions?

    Yes, developing custom sorting solutions is a core part of our approach at Meyer Europe. We believe that the sale of every sorter should begin with testing, during which we create the solution that best fits the customer’s specific needs.
