As global recycling efforts ramp up, the demand for cleaner, more efficiently sorted glass continues to grow. Enter the modern glass sorter―a machine that’s quickly becoming the backbone of next-generation recycling facilities. While past systems struggled with accuracy and speed, today’s advanced sorters, powered by AI and sensor fusion, are setting new industry benchmarks.
From minimizing contamination to recovering high-value materials, glass sorters equipped with intelligent technologies are helping facilities improve quality, cut costs, and meet environmental targets. This article explores the limitations of legacy equipment, how today’s glass sorters are revolutionizing the process, and what recyclers need to consider when upgrading their systems.
While early-generation glass sorters were a step forward from manual labor, they now struggle to keep up with modern waste demands.
Legacy glass sorters often can’t differentiate between similar materials―like opaque plastics, ceramics, or different shades of colored glass. This results in increased contamination rates and lowers the quality of recycled glass, limiting its reuse in industries like food and beverage manufacturing.
Older mechanical systems are prone to breakdowns and require frequent calibration. These disruptions not only reduce throughput but also increase operating costs and energy consumption over time.
Guangzhou SUIBO focuses on the recycling of glass industry and is committed to the development and application of optical sorting system, and is the leading supplier of optical sorting technology in China. SUIBO has developed a new generation of domestic glass color sorter that can comfortably cope with various complex working conditions, with very high sorting efficiency and excellent reliability. At the same time, SUIBO's professional technical team can provide customers with a complete glass sorting process, such as dry, semi-dry, wet and so on.
