At Fakuma 2023 we referred to the important global issues around sustainability, circular economy and CO2 reduction and showed how our contaminant detectors, material analysis and sorting systems and services can contribute to solving the challenges.
Manufacturing, processing, recycling - we at Sesotec always look at the entire plastics value chain and aim to help our customers use as few resources as possible, increase production efficiency and profitability.

The world premiere of our new mobile sorting platform PRE-SORT!
Our highlights at Fakuma 2023
Compared to conventional belt sorters, the VARISORT COMPACT sorting systems are characterised by a compact design with low space requirements and corresponding mobility. By means of an inductive metal sensor, all types of metal can be detected and sorted out. The colour and shape sensor allows differentiation of different coloured metals and colour and shape sorting for many other materials in the size range from 5 to 50 mm. With the help of the near-infrared sensor, different types of plastic can be separated from each other.
With PRE-SORT, the VARISORT COMPACT sorting unit, dedusting, material conveying and central control components are combined on one platform. Plastic regrinds are sorted according to colours, shapes, types of metal or types of plastic, depending on the requirements of the production line. This makes PRE-SORT an effective solution for sorting regrind. A unique feature is its mobility. Built on a mobile base, PRE-SORT can be used wherever the platform is needed.
The PRE-SORT was further optimized for Fakuma 2024. System components have been improved to achieve even more precise sorting results. In addition, the design of the platform with sorter, dedusting and conveyor has been redesigned. This gives you easy access to all machine components. A maintenance area has now also been implemented, allowing direct access to each individual component control.
Companies that produce new granulate from recyclate use the FLAKE SCAN material analysis system in incoming goods inspection. In recycling, the device is used by quality laboratories in the outgoing goods inspection. In both areas, manual analyses have been carried out up to now, which take a lot of time and whose results are not reproducible. With FLAKE SCAN, on the other hand, reports on the composition of the plastic types and on off-colour components can be produced within a few minutes in consistently high quality and with reproducible results.

Granule loss in production means a reduction in productivity for manufacturers and processors of plastics, in addition to the subsequent impact on the environment. Material rejected by metal separators contains a high proportion of metal contaminants and must be disposed of, which means additional costs and loss of value. With the new RE-SORT metal separation unit, contaminated plastic granulate can be reliably cleaned of metal foreign bodies and recovered for reuse in production.
The metal separator RAPID VARIO-FS is used to inspect bulk materials in free-fall conveying lines. Due to the separate design of the detection and separation units, the position of the bad outlet can be rotated according to the position of the collecting vessel.
It detects all magnetic and non-magnetic metal contaminants (steel, stainless steel, aluminium, ...) - even if they are enclosed in the product. Metal impurities are separated out via the reject flap ("Quick Flap"). The RAPID VARIO-FS metal separator is mainly used in industries with low hygienic requirements.
One example of this is "Predictive Maintenance". The maintenance solution analyses real-time data from networked machines and plants and processes the information. Timely intervention before a "standstill" occurs becomes possible. This helps to improve overall plant effectiveness, increase production and reduce costs.
Process optimization, planning reliability, production and quality control: Economy meets Ecology through digital and predictive services.
