Innovation as a driving force
True innovation does not always lie in developing a new machine. Sometimes, the greatest gains are achieved by applying existing technology more intelligently.
A good example of this is Reverse Sorting. Where traditional sorting systems sort and remove rejected product from the main stream, we reverse the logic. The reject stream is routed through the Xcalibur, which is specifically configured to recover precisely the good product.
Applying existing technology more intelligently
Whatever remains after that goes to the Glide Cutting System. There, too, the most usable product is recovered for the main line.
This approach not only yields higher output but also increases the efficiency of the Glides. The Glide has a limited capacity. Because they therefore only need to process truly defective material, their capacity is optimally utilized and the recovery rate increases. That works much more efficiently!
The benefits at a glance:
✅ Up to 95% of incorrectly rejected product is recovered.
✅ The reject stream is >95% pure after Reverse Sorting, thus forming optimal input for the Glides.
✅ Scalable from 5 to 15+ tons/hour, without modification to the existing line.
✅ No extra capacity is needed on the main line; the Xcalibur 720 has more than sufficient throughput for the reject stream.
✅ The (limited) Glide capacity is optimally utilized because there is no good product remaining.
✅ Easy to apply as an upgrade to existing sorting lines, regardless of the sorting system in place.
✅ Less raw material loss, increasing the yield from the same input.
This is exactly the kind of innovation that drives OptiServe: not selling more machines purely for the sake of selling, but helping customers extract more value from the same raw material. How? By using existing technology more intelligently.
Less waste. Higher returns. Smarter processes.
