To achieve a high degree of paper purity, reliability and productivity in  paper sorting must be ensured. To this effect, non-paper ingredients such as metal, cords, glas, textiles, sand, plastics must be separated and defined types of paper have to be formed. Sorting may be manual or semi-automatic.

The collected paper mixture is sorted to form several fractions in individual process steps. The deinking products, cardboard and mixed paper are fed to the individual sorting unit via a moving floor (conveyor). Sorting is performed by sieves to obtain coarse and fine material, and advanced optical detection systems classify the goods before they pass a manual product check in a final step. In this way high-quality waste paper grades are produced.

The individual paper qualities may be loaded loosely or compacted to form bales for better transport.
To optimize the working conditions for the personnel, advanced and efficient suction and dedusting systems are used in the plants.
In addition, Sutco Recycling Technik can provide document shredders. The paper to be shredded is processed in our systems such that we can assure our customers' data privacy.
The documents and/or the paper are processed via a multi-stage handling process to provide different materials which can be returned to the paper industry.
