The BHS/NRT SpydIR^® is an advanced infrared sorting system which separates selected polymers from a mixed stream. Typical applications are recovery and sorting of polymers such as PET, HDPE, PVC, LDPE, PP and PS from mixed materials in a MRF environment.

The SpydIR^® uses proprietary technology and fast, highly sensitive algorithms to rapidly identify unique polymers “signatures” from their infrared spectra. Operator-selected polymers are precisely separated at high efficiency and low product loss by NRT’s proven mass sort system. The rugged industrialized system features a detection module with a small flexible footprint suspended over a fast moving accelerating conveyor (600 FPM). The IR detection system detects and identifies polymers and their locations within the fast moving feed stream as it flows beneath the detection module.
