Eldan Recycling Is Adding on High Tech for even better Recycling Solutions
Since 1956, the Danish company has manufactured recycling equipment known for high performance, low production costs and products with high output purity. The systems and machines are developed based on ambient mechanical techniques for size reduction and separation and require no melting or chemical treatment.
The modular design enables the customers to expand or upgrade their plants as the market changes. By adding new machines with AI and Infrared Technology to their product portfolio, they offer even more sustainable recycling solutions.
Introducing Optical Sorting
In January 2024, Eldan announced a co-ownership with Picvisa Machine Vision Systems, a front-runner in optical separation technology. That is a big leap forward to integrate optical sorting technology into the Eldan processes. It has resulted in the development of new lines of sorting equipment. The first machines, the Eldan MPS (Multi Purpose Sorter) and the Eldan SPS (Small Purpose Sorter), are launched during Q2 this year. The SPS was on display, live and running for demos, at IFAT in Munich in May. It was a huge success, and the machine was frequently turned on for live demos.
The two machines are tailored for efficient sorting in various applications, particularly in WEEE, NF and mixed metal scrap systems, but also for different Polymers. Advanced technology such as broadband infrared technology (NIR/MWIR), AI (shapes and appearance) enables innovative and sustainable sorting of color and material.

The timing could not be better
As a natural step, the name Eldan Sorting was established to build the brand for the sorting part of the company. Toni Reftman, CEO, Eldan Recycling, is very happy about the co-ownership: “This is extremely exciting, and the timing couldn’t be better. We are thrilled to bring these new products to the market and others will follow during 2024.”
In terms of what this co-ownership means for reaching new markets and segments, Toni continues: “We will be able to reach out to new customers, but also give existing customers more possibilities than before which in turn will benefit them and their customers.” Eldan Recycling has broadened the horizon with these new combinations that offer the best of the best. That is a step to save the planet’s scarce resources and make it last, at least a little bit, longer for generations to come.
