During the last week, the initial tests in our portable robotic Material Recovery Facility (prMRF) were completed successfully! We are very happy with the first results and we look forward to what’s coming next. 🔎 In the video below, you can see the robotic sorter grabbing the PET bottles and then, transporting them in the […]

On Thursday, October 19th, the participants of the Erasmus project ‘Journey of a Tree’ (https://www.erasmusly.com/journey-of-a-tree-erasmus-project-35798.html) visited the Foundation for Research & Technology – FORTH. This program focuses on cooperation and the exchange of good practices. As part of the RECLAIM project, Mr. Michalis Maniadakis gave the visitors a presentation regarding the recycling process and the

In this short film, you can see four techniques that have been developed, tested and evaluated by KU Leuven. At KU Leuven they are working hard on developing and testing new techniques for the portable, robotic Material Recovery Facility (prMRF). Techniques presented in the video: 1) High Airflow Vertical Conveying (HAVCO) gripper. This innovative

The linear robots were installed in Robenso’s lab and several tests are being carried out to meet their limits and fine-tune them so that their performance is improved.These robots successfully manage to sort PET bottles at a very promising rate. More tests will be performed soon on more classes (e.g. aluminum, HDPE, tetrapak and more)

We look back on a successful RECLAIM project meeting in Barcelona (April 20). For a day, the partners talked about the progress in the project, which is working towards a portable, robotic MRF (prMRF) tailored to small-scale material recovery. All work packages (projects) were discussed: from the development of special robot grippers and RGB color
