MSS receives patent for PrecisionFlow eject hood design
<![CDATA[

MSS Inc., the optical sorting division of San Diego-based recycling equipment manufacturer CP Group, announced it has received a patent for its PrecisionFlow eject hood for optical sorters.

When processing lightweight materials, such as flexible plastic packaging or single sheets of paper, controlling the trajectory of those types of materials inside the eject hood is challenging.

Building on years of experience from previous designs, the newly patented PrecisionFlow eject hood uses a curved design that “eliminates back pressure and smoothly guides the materials by using air flows along the outline of the wall.” MSS says this is especially important in optical sorters that operate and process material at higher than conventional speeds.

“Because of the optimized shape of the hood we have much better control of the trajectories inside the PrecisionFlow eject hood,” MSS Sales Director Felix Hottenstein says. “This provides our customers with better separation efficiency, increasing the removal of flexible plastic packaging from contaminated paper streams. It also enhances positive sorting of fiber, such as sorted office paper.”

According to third-party testing, the PrecisionFlow eject hood played an essential role in the 97 percent recovery of flexible plastic packaging from contaminated paper streams. To date, MSS has installed the PrecisionFlow eject hood on more than 60 FiberMax and PlasticMax optical sorters. 

MSS builds sensor-based separation equipment in Nashville, Tennessee. Since its formation in 1974, MSS has been designing, engineering and manufacturing optical sorting machines for many applications and companies in the recycling and waste management industry.
