Presentation by José Matas, Segment Manager Wood at
TOMRA Recycling

Thanks to new innovations in automated sorting
technology, recycling waste wood for panelboard production is helping the wood
sector transition to the circular economy.

Our high-throughput wood sorting solutions combine
x-ray transmission (XRT), NIR, and deep learning technologies to purify and
sort wood chips into Wood A and Wood B fractions, including single fractions of
clean wood and MDF.

The process is completed in two distinct steps. In
step 1, our X-TRACT machine sorts up to 30 metric tons of mixed materials to separate
wood from impurities like inert materials, glass, metals, etc.

After the waste wood is pre-sorted by X-TRACT, our
solutions process wood chips by material type in step 2. Using a combination of
NIR sorting (AUTOSORT) and our deep learning technology (GAIN), wood chips are
analyzed and sorted by non-processed and processed materials (MDF, HDF, WPC and
wood composites).

Our wood sorting solutions allow your plant to process
single fractions of Wood A (non-processed wood) and Wood B products such as
MDF.
