Best In-Class Optical Sorter
All CIRRUS
®
PlasticMax™ sorters
combine high-resolution NIR, color,
and metal sensors to accurately sort
a wide variety of materials, using
advanced algorithms.
Our proprietary MaxSelect™
sequential scanning technology
provides the best combination of
scan rate, number of wavelengths
and NIR wavelength range (up to
2,500nm).
The integrated ClearLight™
technology provides the best signal-
to-noise ratio of any optical sorter in
the recycling industry because MSS
doesn’t use gratings or light beam
splitters.
FilmMax™
MSS’ proprietary material handling
and air-assist system allows
FilmMax™ to remove contaminants
and off-color materials from pre-
shredded plastic film and flexible
packaging. In-flight detection over
an illuminated reference allows the
removal of black items as well.
eMax™
For electronic scrap/WEEE
applications, eMax™ provides an
even higher NIR resolution to handle
the smaller particle sizes. In-flight
detection over an illuminated
reference allows the sorting of ABS,
HIPS, PC, PC-ABS from pre-shredded
e-scrap or PMMA from flat panels.
FlakeMax™
FlakeMax™ provides the highest NIR/
VIS pixel resolution of the CIRRUS
®
family. In-flight detection over an
illuminated reference allows it to
separate contaminants and off-
color materials from granulated
plastic flake, including black items.
FlakeMax™ is best suited for PET and
PE/PP recyclers.
PlasticMax™
For PlasticMax™ MRF applications,
the always built-in NIR and color
sensors allow changing sort recipes
by the touch of a button, no hardware
changes required.
Challenging materials such as short
fills are sorted more effectively due
to full object analysis.
PurePlasticMax™
For plastic recyclers,
PurePlasticMax™ sorts the even
most challenging plastics, such as
full-body sleeved and PET-G labeled
bottles. In-flight detection over an
illuminated reference provides higher
signal levels for transparent items
such as PET bottles.

In an independent 2016
study, PurePlasticMax™
topped five other
competitors with
the highest sorting
performance. The
study focused on the
identification of PET
bottles of various colors
(substrate) behind
partially or fully sleeved
labels of various colors.
