AI Optical Sorting
Optical sorting equipment for high-value plastic recovery
The WEI LAN AI optical sorter for waste identifies PET bottles, HDPE bottles, PP, and other mixed plastics by material and color. Modular configurations support automated waste sorting systems, MRF equipment upgrades, and compact smart recycling facilities that need stable continuous sorting.
Model Data
Model range is defined by modular optical sorting configurations

AI recognition
Higher recovery value: AI identifies PET, HDPE, PP, PE, mixed plastics, and reject streams with less dependence on manual judgment.
Air-jet sorting
Stable output purity: fast air-jet ejection removes targets accurately while the line keeps continuous throughput.
Sensor control
Lower purity risk: live sensor signals expose recognition, pressure, timing, and material-flow drift before output quality drops.
96-98% sorting rate
96-98% sorting performance: brochure-listed accuracy supports high-purity recovery targets for plastic recycling and MRF upgrades.
Robot-ready layout
Lower labor pressure: robot-ready layout leaves room to reduce manual picking as material volume grows.
Digital cockpit
Faster decisions: live status, alarms, runtime, sorting statistics, carbon indicators, and video feeds are combined in one view.
Process Flow
One operating video summarizes the optical sorting path
The core sorting stage shows material flow, AI recognition, air-jet separation, and operating data in one view.

FAQ
Configuration confidence starts with material data, output targets, and site interfaces
These answers help recycling operators, EPC teams, and equipment procurement teams evaluate whether the AI optical sorter fits their material stream and project stage.
Q-01Material separation scope
The system is designed for recyclable plastic streams such as PET bottles, HDPE bottles, PP, mixed rigid plastics, and color-based PET fractions including transparent, green, blue, and mixed-color bottles.
Required inputs
Material photos or videos
Target output categories
Q-02Price factor basis
Price depends on throughput, material categories, number of sorting modules, feeding and baling scope, digital control requirements, installation support, and whether the project needs integration with existing MRF equipment.
Required inputs
Target throughput
Sorting module scope
Q-03Optical sorting capacity range
The GL01V model range covers 0.6-2 t/h. Final sizing should be checked against material composition, contamination level, desired purity, available footprint, and daily operating hours.
Required inputs
Daily operating hours
Available footprint
Q-04Existing facility integration
Integration can be evaluated when the project team provides the current process layout, feed condition, conveyor height, control requirements, and target output. The skid-mounted structure supports practical retrofit discussions.
Required inputs
Existing line layout
Conveyor height and control points
RFQ Input
Sizing accuracy is based on material media, throughput, output, and layout inputs
Send these inputs before quotation so the engineering team can confirm sorting scope, equipment model, layout feasibility, and integration risks.
Material photos or videos
Show the feed stream on belt, bale condition, contamination level, and color mix in normal operating conditions.
Target throughput
Confirm hourly capacity, daily operating hours, peak load, and whether the line needs one or multiple sorting modules.
Output categories
List required fractions such as PET clear, PET green, PET blue, HDPE, PP, mixed plastic, or reject stream.
Existing line layout
Provide conveyor height, available footprint, upstream feeding method, downstream baler position, and control interface needs.
