Black plastics are widely used in the automotive industry, electronics, food packages, and plastic bags, they can be found all around us. Unfortunately, instead of recycling, they are burned for energy or dumped in landfills, since there has not been efficient and reliable technology available to sort them.<\/p>\n

Hyperspectral imaging is the only technology capable of identifying different black plastic types when used on the MWIR spectral range.<\/p>\n

Specim FX50 is the only hyperspectral camera available on the market covering the full MWIR spectral range of 2.7 \u2013 5.3 \u03bcm required to sort black plastics. It allows fast and reliable sorting of, Black plastics, Rubber material, and Non-black plastics and rubber materials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":25521,"parent":0,"template":"","learning_center_categories":[237],"class_list":["post-25520","white_papers","type-white_papers","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","learning_center_categories-color-appearance-measurement"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\r\nRevolutionizing Black Plastic Sorting: Hyperspectral Camera and Its Integration into Industrial Sorting Systems - Konica Minolta Sensing<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\r\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/sensing.konicaminolta.us\/us\/learning-center\/white-papers\/revolutionizing-black-plastic-sorting-hyperspectral-camera-and-its-integration-into-industrial-sorting-systems\/\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Revolutionizing Black Plastic Sorting: Hyperspectral Camera and Its Integration into Industrial Sorting Systems\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Black plastics are widely used in the automotive industry, electronics, food packages, and plastic bags, they can be found all around us.
