Tomra Laser Object Detection (LOD) system

Germany-based Tomra Sorting has introduced its new Laser Object Detection (LOD) system that, when used in combination with its AutoSort and Finder devices, is designed to boost a plant’s sorting capabilities. The firm says the LOD, in combination with the other equipment, can allow “scrap recycling operations to reach final product purity levels unique to the market and never before possible.” The LOD:

  • sorts based on the feed material’s spectral and spatial characteristics
  • detects material that near-infrared (NIR) technology is incapable of identifying
  • can boost final product purity by as much as 4 percent without sacrificing circuit productivity
