The Grün VPMC Pro SWIR Polymer Sorter by Lauffer Vision UK & Europe is a highly advanced AI-powered sensor-based optical sorting solution designed for precise polymer and colour separation of plastic flakes within the recycling industry. Engineered specifically for high-purity PET recycling applications, the system combines Tri-Band InGaAs SWIR technology with high-resolution RGB cameras to deliver superior sorting performance, increased material recovery, and enhanced product quality.
Built for modern recycling plants and plastic processing facilities, the VPMC Pro automatically identifies and separates polymers such as PET, HDPE, PP, ABS, PC, PS, PMMA, PETG, PPSU, and Tritan based on molecular composition and colour detection. Its advanced Tri-Band SWIR sensor technology enables exceptional accuracy when removing non-PET contamination from PET flakes, helping recyclers achieve premium-grade recycled materials with higher market value.
