Automation and labor-saving for the sorting of business beverage containers! It automatically distinguishes residual liquid and foreign objects, sorting PET bottles (good quality and those with residual liquid), cans, and bottles.
**Beverage Container Automatic Sorting System** Automatically sorts PET bottles, cans, and bottles from a mixed collection of three types of beverage containers. By utilizing near-infrared technology proven in the plastic material identification device "Plashiru," it can identify PET bottles even by the presence of residual liquid, allowing for the collection of higher purity PET bottles. **Features** ■ Automatic sorting of beverage containers Automatically sorts PET bottles, cans, and bottles from the mixed collection of recovered beverage containers, contributing to labor reduction and lighter workloads in the workplace. ■ Ability to identify the presence of residual liquid By utilizing near-infrared technology proven in the plastic material identification device "Plashiru," PET bottles are sorted into two categories: "good" and "with residual liquid." ■ Reliable sorting using a flapper method To ensure the reliable sorting of PET bottles containing heavy residual liquid, a physical flapping method is adopted instead of air sorting. ■ Improved safety during foreign object sorting By installing a foreign object removal section on the inclined conveyor, which is the preceding process of sorting, small foreign objects like glass shards can be removed, reducing the risks and labor of manual sorting. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

basic information
【Other Features】 ■ Flexible response to various working environments Considering connectivity with upstream and downstream processes of existing lines, as well as collaboration with external control panels. The discharge heights for PET bottles, cans, and bottles are sufficiently high, making connections with downstream processes easy. ■ Safety design to prevent accidents Adopting safety switches ensures that the equipment completely stops and cannot be activated when the cover is open. 【Benefits of Implementation】 ■ Labor saving Since PET bottles (good quality and those with residual liquid), cans, and bottles can be automatically sorted, it reduces the manual sorting work of on-site operators and allows for a reduction in the number of personnel responsible for sorting lines. ■ Quality improvement By reallocating the reduced personnel to focus on quality improvement tasks such as label removal from PET bottles, it contributes to enhancing the quality of recycling. ■ Enhanced safety By establishing a foreign object removal section in the upstream process of the sorting area to eliminate small foreign objects like glass shards, it reduces the risks and labor associated with manual sorting processes. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Company information
■Introduction Yamamoto Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is a machinery manufacturer founded in 1918 in Tendo City, Yamagata Prefecture. We have gained the top market share in Japan for agricultural machinery, particularly grain dryers and straw cutters. "Because we are a company that has walked alongside agriculture, we want to contribute to improving the global environment that supports food production." This desire, combined with our cultivated technology, led to the creation of the polystyrene reduction machine "High Melter." Through the provision of our products, we aim to create a bright future for the industry together with those who are challenging themselves in the recycling industry (*). That is our mission. ■Thoughts on Development The concept of a "circular economy," which views discarded items as resources and aims to circulate resources without generating waste, is gaining attention. However, the recycling industry (*), which plays a significant role in this, does not receive much public interest, and many companies are struggling with labor shortages. Through manufacturing, we want to shine a spotlight on this industry and bring about change. This is the sentiment embedded in all the environmental equipment produced by Yamamoto Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (*) In contrast to the "arterial industries" that produce goods, industries that collect, recycle, reuse, process, and dispose of waste are referred to as "venous industries," likening them to the circulation of blood in the human body.
