Start with sorting textile waste
The automated sorting process
Innovative automated sorting makes it possible to separate parts of clothes by color and/or raw material. During this automated process, hard points are removed via tearing to obtain a material ready for mechanical recycling. We offer a wide range of tearing machines, which are suitable for many applications, for both spinning and nonwovens markets.
Collaboration leads to success
The unique process for automated sorting is the result of a long-term collaboration between ANDRITZ,
Nouvelles Fibres Textiles, and Pellenc ST, France. Combining decades of expertise and know-how in
sorting technologies by Pellenc ST, post-consumer textile value chains from sorting to manufacturing by Nouvelles Fibres Textiles, and textile machinery and processes by ANDRITZ, we succeeded in finding the best solution for the huge challenge o f textile sorting.
