China's First AI-Powered Hyperspectral Optical Sorter for Mixed Textiles
——Overcoming Industry Challenges

 

Recently, DataBeyond officially launched China's first AI-powered hyperspectral optical sorter for mixed textiles. By deeply integrating artificial intelligence algorithms with hyperspectral recognition technology, this innovation successfully tackles the long-standing challenge of sorting blended fabrics, marking a significant milestone in DataBeyond's efforts to drive the transformation of the waste textile recycling industry.

For years, the sorting of blended fabrics has perplexed the textile recycling sector. Mixed textiles, composed of diverse materials with complex and uneven compositions, cannot be efficiently or accurately sorted through traditional methods. As a result, most blended waste ends up incinerated or landfilled, leading to severe resource waste and environmental harm. Addressing this challenge, DataBeyond developed the "AI-Powered Hyperspectral Optical Sorter for Mixed Textiles" based on industry needs. This machine can precisely sort textiles with varying material compositions, offering an exceptional solution for efficient recycling of blended fabrics.

 

Technological Breakthrough: Empowering Waste Textile Recycling
The sorter revolutionizes blended fabric sorting technology:

  1. 1, Precision Sorting
    Equipped with hyperspectral sensors covering 256 spectral bands, the device achieves full-spectrum recognition of waste textiles, accurately isolating target fabrics based on composition. For example, it can sort fabrics containing 30-80% polyester, nylon, spandex, or cotton with 99% accuracy, providing high-quality raw materials for downstream chemical recycling.

  2. 2, Flexible Configuration
    To adapt to dynamic market demands, the sorter allows flexible adjustment of sorting strategies and rapid switching of target materials. This capability ensures efficient alignment with downstream processing needs, significantly enhancing the resource value of blended waste.

 

Opening a New Chapter in Blended Fabric Sorting
After seven years of relentless innovation, DataBeyond has remained committed to its original vision, achieving breakthroughs from concept to reality.

The launch of this sorter represents a historic leap in DataBeyond's mission to advance textile waste valorization. This technology will empower the recycling industry to extract greater value from blended waste, uncover new profit opportunities in textile recycling, and accelerate the arrival of intelligent resource recovery.
