The recycling industry faces increasing challenges in sorting waste glass efficiently. Whether processing post-consumer bottle cullet, flat glass fragments, or highly contaminated glass from incineration slag, achieving clean and high-value cullet requires the right combination of equipment and technology.

AMD Sorting offers a comprehensive range of glass sorting machines, including the glass color sorter models B6, KGS5, KGS5(KP), and K2C6. These waste glass sorting machines are designed to address specific needs in glass recycling, helping operators improve purity and throughput.

1️⃣ B6 – High-Precision Glass Cullet Color Sorter

The B6 series is a dedicated glass cullet color sorter engineered for high-speed and accurate separation of crushed glass by color. It handles typical cullet colors such as flint (clear), amber (brown), green, as well as black and half-colored glass.

Applications:
* Sorting bottle cullet to precise color standards
* Processing flat glass cullet with mixed tints
* Removing off-color fragments to protect furnace quality

Features:
* High-resolution cameras capture fine color differences
* Excellent detection of low-contrast and dark-colored glass
* Adjustable sorting parameters for different purity targets

The B6 is an ideal glass sorting machine for the initial color classification stage, ensuring cleaner feedstock for remelting.



2️⃣ KGS5 – Dual-Function Glass Sorting Machine: Color + Lightweight Contaminants

The KGS5 integrates a glass color sorter with an air separation system to remove lightweight impurities such as paper labels, plastic films, and caps that often accompany glass cullet.

Applications:
* Purifying mixed packaging glass with surface contaminants
* Cleaning construction and flat glass cullet with coatings and adhesives
* Mid-stage purification to reduce manual cleaning efforts

Features:
* Combines optical color sorting and air-based removal in one machine
* Supports a wide range of particle sizes and materials
* Increases line efficiency and material purity

This waste glass sorting machinestreamlines processing by combining two critical sorting steps into a single compact unit.



3️⃣ KGS5(KP) – Intelligent Glass Sorting Machine for Complex Impurities

The KGS5(KP) is an advanced glass sorting machine designed for highly contaminated materials, including glass recovered from municipal solid waste (MSW) incineration slag and demolition waste. It detects and removes hard-to-see impurities like ceramics, metals, stones, glue strips, and charred residues.

Applications:

* Cleaning glass cullet from incineration slag with embedded impurities
* Removing sealing strips and construction residues from flat glass waste
* Final polishing of glass cullet for high-quality remelt

Features:
* Intelligent multispectral detection for low-reflective materials
* High accuracy in removing hazardous and sticky contaminants
* Designed for harsh and complex sorting environments

The P-KGS5 is a key part of any waste glass sorting machine lineup aiming for maximum purity and minimal manual intervention.


4️⃣ K2C6 – Specialized Glass Color Sorter for Fine Glass Powder

The K2C6 is tailored specifically for sorting glass powders and very fine particles (under 3 mm), a size range where traditional optical sorters struggle.

Applications:
* Sorting glass fines from grinding and crushing processes
* Removing color impurities in glass powder used as filler or raw materials
* Improving purity in ultra-fine glass fractions

Features:
* Optimized optics for detecting color in fine, dusty materials
* Dust suppression features to maintain sorting accuracy
* High throughput for powdery glass materials

This glass sorting machine fills an important niche in the recycling process by handling fine particles with high precision.
