Advanced Sorting Technology for E-Waste and Beyond

The VARISORT+ from SESOTEC is engineered for fast, precise, multi-material separation across some of the most complex waste streams. Whether you're recovering metals, separating polymers, or removing contaminants, this conveyor-based sorting system delivers accuracy, speed, and value.

Used across Australia in e-waste processing, plastics recycling, and scrap metal operations, the VARISORT+ is a proven performer for businesses looking to improve throughput and quality while cutting down on costs and contamination.

What Makes VARISORT+ Different?

A Smarter Way to Sort

The VARISORT+ builds on the original VARISORT system with improved detection, faster ejection precision, and greater operational flexibility. It combines multiple sensor technologies in a single compact system, offering a reliable way to detect, classify, and separate materials in real time.

Core Features

• Multi-sensor system: Configure with NIR (near-infrared), colour/shape, and metal detection
• Up to 3-way sorting: Separate multiple fractions in one pass
• Modular design: Easy to upgrade or reconfigure based on future needs
• SesoDesk operating system: Intuitive interface for real-time control and performance monitoring
• Optimised energy use: Lower compressed air and electricity consumption
• Throughput: Handles 500–6,000 kg/hour depending on stream and setup

Ideal for E-Waste and Material Recovery Facilities in Australia

Built to Handle Complex Waste Streams

VARISORT+ is particularly effective in recovering valuable metals (copper, aluminium, stainless steel) and separating plastics for reuse or resale. It reduces manual handling, cuts contamination, and meets growing pressure to improve recycling performance.

Industry Applications

This system is widely used in:

• WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) recycling
• Scrap yards and metal recovery operations
• Mixed plastics processing
• General waste sorting facilities

Common Australian use cases include:

• Recovering clean plastic fractions from e-waste
• Sorting insulated wires and PCBs from shredded appliances
• Improving output quality for local plastic remanufacturing
• Supporting compliance with landfill bans (e.g. Victoria’s e-waste rules)

VARISORT+ vs. VARISORT: What’s New?

While both machines use multi-sensor technology and SESOTEC’s sorting expertise, the VARISORT+ is an upgrade that offers more flexibility, better software integration, and improved energy efficiency.

Key improvements include:

• Enhanced SesoDesk interface for better control and data access
• More precise sorting thanks to upgraded nozzle control
• Additional chute configuration options (up to 3-way sorting)
• Lower compressed air consumption, reducing running costs
• Optimised performance for higher throughput with reduced footprint

If you’ve used the original VARISORT, the VARISORT+ is a clear next step.
