ValcopIA is the latest French MRF opened last July and sets the standards for sorting centres in France. ValcopIA is a project led by Decoset, a joint association in Haute-Garonne, and entrusted to the Paprec - GCC Occitanie - SWA - Aktid consortium as part of a comprehensive performance contract. Pellenc ST, a major player in optical sorting in France and internationally, makes a significant contribution to the high performance of the plant with its latest generation of sorting equipment. In total, 21 Mistral+ CONNECT™ machines are in operation to recover 13 fractions of recyclable materials (excluding metals and aluminium). In addition, there are 13 AISEE™ gantries equipped with artificial intelligence, which analyse the quality of the streams in real time and assist in performance management.
