BRT Hartner introduces its first optical sorter — the BRT Hartner AS equipped with HSI and AI technologies.
BRT HARTNER has launched its first optical sorting system, the BRT Hartner AS, developed in cooperation with RTT System GmbH. The solution combines an acceleration belt, advanced optical sensors and compressed-air ejection to deliver high-precision sorting of waste and recyclable materials.
A key innovation is the use of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) instead of conventional NIR technology. The HSI camera captures highly detailed images and transfers all raw data directly to the classification algorithm. Through sensor fusion, the system processes signals from NIR, colour, 3D and metal detection sensors to achieve maximum accuracy.
The system supports object-based AI, which — when a colour camera is added — enables precise object identification and fast adaptation to changing sorting requirements.
The BRT Hartner AS is especially effective for separating complex materials, plastics and packaging needed for mechanical and chemical recycling, as well as for producing high-calorific RDF fractions. Using standard light sources reduces operating costs, while enhanced maintenance access makes servicing easier for operators.
