Optical sorting uses, RGB cameras, AI, inductive sensors and NIR to detect and separate materials by colors, shape, conductivity and composition. This makes it highly effective for metals, e-waste, cables and plastics. Watch the SPS Optical Sorter working in a real cable sorting line In cable recycling, even small losses of copper. Cable Management's optical sorters integrate seamlessly into your processing line. At Cable Management, we specialize in belted optical sorters, designed to deliver precision sorting, efficiency. With STEINERT optical sorting technology, cable processing becomes a high-end application In Germany alone, roughly 150,000 t of cable waste is generated each year.
