Sorting for better recycling

Tire recyclers such as granulators, devulcanizators or pyrolyzers often face a significant challenge related to the consistency of the raw materials (inputs), irrespective of the recycling technology employed. Tire sorting involves the systematic separation, identification and catagorization of used tires into distinct grades. Understanding the composition of your inputs is key to enhancing the overall quality of the final product. Additionally, leveraging appropriate technology allows for more precise control over the entire process. The question arises: how can we revolutionize the sorting and identification process? Moving away from manual sorting toward automated sorting represents a promising solution.
