Sesotec's mobile sorting platform at almaak International

Sesotec’s PRE-SORT mobile sorting platform enables almaak International GmbH to have full control over the quality of post-consumer recyclates.

Sesotec’s PRE-SORT mobile sorting platform.

almaak produces customized plastics for small and large plastics processors worldwide. Its products are mainly used in the automotive industry, in the electrical and household appliance industry and in the construction industry.

The company has over 60 years of experience in the production of recyclates. Its first products with post-consumer recyclates (PCR) have been available since the end of 2023.

To produce sustainably and reliably with PCR, it is important to control the quality of incoming material. Contaminants such as metal particles impair the quality of plastics. Therefore, there is a need to increase the purity of the material before processing in order to automatically ensure greater safety and a higher quality of the end products.

Sesotec’s PRE-SORT mobile sorting platform ensures high-quality and pure material, economical production and protection against damage to downstream systems.

The platform also offers full process flexibility thanks to its freely combinable sensor technology and the ability to select different sorting processes depending on the material composition.

With the plug-and-play feature and compact design, the system is immediately ready for use and fits seamlessly into any production environment.

“With tests in August 2023, Sesotec showed us that our requirements can be met in practice. Metal particles were removed from the regrind and the loss of good material was low,” said Marc Marmetschke, Senior Manager Engineering, Maintenance and Project Development at almaak.

almaak’s short-term goal is to demetallize a few hundred tons of heavily contaminated material in its warehouse.
