Eldan Recycling is adding on high tech for even better recycling solutions

The world-leading Danish company has since 1956 manufactured recycling equipment known for high performance, low production costs and products with high output purity. The systems and machines are developed based on ambient mechanical technique for size reduction and separation and require no melting or chemical treatment.

The modular design enables their customers to expand or upgrade their plants as the market changes. By adding on new machines with AI and infrared technology to their product portfolio, they are now able to offer an even more sustainable recycling solutions!

Introducing optical sorting

In January, Eldan announced a co-ownership with Picvisa Machine Vision Systems, a front-runner in optical separation technology.

This is a big leap forward to integrate optical sorting technology into the Eldan processes.

This co-ownership will result in the development of new lines of sorting equipment. The first machines, the Eldan MPS (Multi Purpose Sorter) and the Eldan SPS (Small Purpose Sorter), will be launched during Q2 this year. The SPS will also be on display, live and running for demos, at IFAT in Munich in May.

There will also be a presentation of the products at ISRI in Las Vegas in April but there won’t be any machines on the stand.

The two machines are tailored for efficient sorting in various applications, particularly in WEEE, NF and mixed metal scrap systems but also for different kind of Polymers. Advanced technology such as broadband infrared technology (NIR/MWIR), Ai (shapes and appearance) enables innovative and sustainable sorting of color and material.

“This is extremely exciting and the timing couldn’t be better! We are thrilled to bring these new products to the market and others will follow during 2024.” Toni Reftman, CEO, Eldan Recycling

As a natural step, the name Eldan Sorting was established to build the brand for the sorting part of the company. Eldan Recycling CEO Toni Reftman is very happy about the co-ownership.

In terms of what this co-ownership means for reaching new markets and segments, Reftman says, “We will be able to reach out to new customers, but also give existing customers more possibilities than before which in turn will benefit them and their customers.”

Picvisa and Eldan have in a way broadened their joint horizon by presenting each other’s solutions with amazing results of new combinations that offer the best of the best. Everyone stands as winners in this new co-ownership. Especially our planet and the next generation as this is a great step to save the scarce resources of the planet and make it last at least a little bit longer.
