Mistral+ CONNECT : Advanced Multi-Material Sorting Pellenc ST

This new intelligent and connected sorting machine meets the new 4.0. sorting plant standards.

Equipped with the latest “FLOW detection” spectrometer, which ensures unmatched sorting performance, this new generation of optical sorters is equipped with a series of connected sensors that provide more visibility on the complete “Full Package” system.

Combined with the Pellenc ST field expert service (one year service included), the collected Smart&Share data allows operators to better target corrective actions in order to improve plant availability and sorting quality.

Pellenc ST supports Biffa Aldridge to double recycling capacity with Mistral+ CONNECT.

Waste management company Biffa, one of UK leaders in closed-loop plastic recycling, has doubled the plastic recycling capacity at its Aldridge materials recycling facility (MRF) in the West Midlands.


Built in 2008, Biffa’s Aldridge MRF diverted 300,000 tonnes of waste a year from landfill by turning it into saleable commodities. In addition to plastic bottles and containers, the facility can process aluminium and steel cans, as well as glass bottles and jars from a household recycling stream.

To increase its recycling capacities, Biffa partnering with Turmec decided to upgrade its plastic bottle sorting line and install latest generation Pellenc ST Optical Sorters for higher material recovery and recycling.
