Imola, Italy – Cimbria proudly unveils SEA.XL, an advanced optical sorting solution revolutionizing the plastics recycling industry.
In a world increasingly focused on environmental responsibility, the demand for high-quality recycled plastics has never been greater. Enter SEA.XL, a groundbreaking technology poised to redefine the landscape of plastics recycling. Offering unparalleled precision and efficiency, SEA.XL empowers recyclers to achieve new levels of purity and productivity, driving both sustainability and profitability.
Designed with AI-powered precision and cutting-edge vision technology, SEA.XL offers an innovative approach to achieving exceptional material recovery, superior sorting quality, and enhanced sustainability in the recycling of plastics such as PET, HDPE, PP, PS, and more.
Advanced AI-Powered Vision Technology for Precision Sorting
At the core of SEA.XL is its next-generation DUAL VISION SYSTEM. It leverages state-of-the-art, multi-angle high-definition RGB full-color cameras, combined with advanced hyperspectral infrared technology. This, coupled with the AI-driven intelligence of BRAIN™, allows SEA.XL to detect and identify elements with extreme accuracy. The system meticulously sorts plastics based on chemical signature, color, transparency and shape, efficiently removing contaminants, different plastic types, non-plastic materials, and other impurities with extraordinary precision. This ensures the highest purity standards, optimizing the value of the recycled plastics.
A key differentiator of SEA.XL is its remarkable flexibility: a single SEA.XL unit can process virtually any mix of polymers. This is achieved through its advanced hyperspectral cameras, capable of scanning hundreds of IR frequencies, and an extensive, consolidated library of all main polymers. This allows for adaptation to varying input streams without the need for hardware changes, maximizing operational uptime and versatility.
Unmatched Sorting Precision: The Foundation of Quality
SEA.XL’s innovative vision system is engineered to meticulously sort a wide range of plastic materials. This advanced technology accurately identifies and eliminates even the most subtle contaminants and undesired materials, guaranteeing that only the highest-grade plastics proceed to the next stage. This capability ensures superior quality and sets a new benchmark for the industry, allowing recyclers to consistently meet stringent market demands for a flawless final product. Customizable recipes enable precise, tailored setups for each specific plastic type and sorting task, ensuring perfect processing outcomes.
Enhanced Product Quality: Elevating the Value of Recycled Plastics
The extreme sorting capabilities of SEA.XL directly translate into consistently pure and homogeneous output materials. This enhanced product quality significantly elevates the value of recycled plastics, making them a more reliable and desirable option for a wider range of applications. Customers can now confidently incorporate recycled content without compromising on the integrity or performance of their products.
High Productivity and Efficiency: Seamless Integration, Maximum Throughput
The SEA.XL series is engineered for seamless integration into existing recycling plants, delivering exceptional productivity and efficiency. Its design, featuring multiple feeding chute configurations (from 2 to 6 chutes) enables the processing of high material volumes while minimizing downtime. The system ensures efficient material handling, thereby maintaining a continuous and high-throughput operation. This capability empowers recycling facilities to effectively scale their operations and readily meet the increasing demand for premium-quality recycled plastics.
Constructed to endure the rigors of high-volume production, SEA.XL harmoniously blends robust functionality with a space-efficient design. Various models (SEA.XL 2, SEA.XL 4, SEA.XL 6) are available to suit operations of any size. Furthermore, features like vibrating plates with optional aspiration systems and automatic cleaning systems ensure consistent and reliable performance, even in challenging operational settings. Peace of mind regarding safety and product quality is further assured through global certifications, including including CE conformity for safety and quality assurance and compliance with UL and CSA standards.
Sustainability and Resource Efficiency
While focused on quality, SEA.XL also contributes significantly to resource efficiency and the circular economy. By precisely identifying and ejecting only the targeted contaminants, SEA.XL maximizes the recovery of valuable plastics, ensuring minimal loss of good material and reducing the environmental footprint of recycling operations, aligning with sustainable processing practices.
Advanced Operator Control
SEA.XL’s intuitive 21.5-inch interactive touchscreen empowers operators with real-time monitoring, process adjustments, and detailed reporting capabilities. Its user-friendly multilingual interface ensures seamless operation, enhancing productivity and operational ease.
Comprehensive Global Support
Cimbria offers premier global support to ensure SEA.XL’s optimal performance in any facility. From pre-purchase trials at state-of-the-art labs to post-installation training and remote troubleshooting services, Cimbria provides unwavering assistance to its customers in the recycling industry.
