MAS-P PRO3D ADVANCED MATERIAL SORTING

Advanced Material
Sorting for Difficult
Rigid Polymers

MAS-P Pro goes beyond conventional PET purification. Using material recognition and multi-spectral analysis, it accurately separates visually similar rigid flakes such as PP, PE, ABS, PS, PC and PMMA with exceptional precision and minimal loss.

Problem / Fit

Use MAS-P Pro when one-dimensional sorting is not enough.

MAS-P Pro is built for complex mixed-polymer streams where material and color targets must be combined to reach the quality your process demands.

Mixed representative rigid flakesExample of a high-difficulty feed.

Suitable input form

  • Rigid flakes and regrind
  • Clean, dry, free-flowing feed
  • Typical size: 2-20 mm

Typical challenge

PP, PE, PS, ABS, PC and PMMA can look similar after preparation, especially in white, milky or transparent streams.

Why color alone is not enough

A color-correct piece can still be the wrong polymer. MAS-P Pro combines material recognition with multi-spectral analysis.

Out of scope

Not designed for film, pellets, powder, liquids or whole bottles.

Evaluation note

Performance depends on material condition, target defects and representative sample testing.

Application Scenarios

Representative material challenges for MAS-P Pro.

These scenarios look visually similar but require stricter material decisions and representative sample validation.

White PP and PE similar rigid flakes.

Mixed Polyolefins (PP / PE)

Challenge: PP and PE flakes can share a white or milky appearance while requiring different recovery paths.

Sorting objective: Separate PP from PE after sample-led recipe validation.

Similar appearanceMaterial-defined targetSample validation required
Neutral PS and ABS rigid plastic mix.

Neutral Engineering Plastics (ABS / PS)

Challenge: ABS and PS can overlap visually in neutral-color rigid fragments.

Sorting objective: Evaluate material class and route target polymers with controlled loss.

Similar appearanceMaterial-defined targetSample validation required
Cloudy transparent rigid plastic mix.

Transparent Rigid Mix (PC / PMMA)

Challenge: PC, PMMA and other clear plastics are difficult to distinguish by appearance.

Sorting objective: Use material-response references for transparent and smoky rigid fragments.

Similar appearanceMaterial-defined targetSample validation required
Milky and translucent PE and PP rigid flakes.

White / Milky Polymer Feed

Challenge: White and translucent pieces can hide polymer differences after washing and drying.

Sorting objective: Build a screened sample set around accepted, rejected and borderline materials.

Why it matters

Material recognition keeps decisions stable when color alone is not enough.

Visual similarity is only the beginning. MAS-P Pro combines material recognition and multi-spectral analysis to make consistent decisions where color-only sorting struggles.

How MAS-P Pro solves this

Machine anatomy

A complex material sorting direction for prepared flakes.

Exact sensor stack, optical layout and model configuration require Mayson engineering confirmation.

Mayson MAS-P6 Pro advanced material sorter.

Material presentation

A consistent layer of prepared flakes is needed before any advanced decision can be useful.

Multi-feature recognition

The public page describes combined recognition direction without naming unconfirmed sensor principles.

Reject control

Reject paths should be planned around target material, color class and output review.

Buyer Questions

Questions to answer before finalizing the configuration.

These questions replace the previous FAQ set and keep capability wording tied to sample validation.

Is MAS 3D for whole bottles?

No. It is framed for flakes or prepared plastic pieces. Whole bottles should be reviewed under MAS-B.

Can it sort PP, PE, ABS, PC and PMMA?

Those classes can be evaluated as target materials, but final capability depends on material, color, additives, contamination and selected configuration.

Does all-in-one mean no testing is needed?

No. Combined color and material sorting still requires representative sample testing and output review.

Is MAS 3D the same as MAS-P?

No. MAS-P is framed around PET purification. MAS 3D is for more complex color-plus-material decisions in prepared flake streams.
