Incoming PET bottles and flake first pass through a high-temperature hot-wash tank to remove grease, label glue and organic contaminants. This is far more effective than typical cold washing, leaving the flake surface clean and its true color clearly visible.

The cleaned material then enters our automated sorter, which uses AI Vision cameras together with Near-Infrared sensors to detect color, clarity and any surviving contaminants in real time, automatically rejecting off-grade flake. This reduces reliance on manual labor and improves output consistency.
