SPARTA – A TRUSTED PARTNER FOR UPGRADING PIONEER’S SINGLE STREAM LINES

With labor increasingly difficult to find, higher product purity requirements and increased production demands on the rise, the Pioneer team decided to upgrade its optical sorters in its single stream systems.  Pioneer turned to Sparta for the challenge of developing the best fit solution, which included integrating new state-of-the-art optical sorters and associated equipment into its existing systems. 

With deep operationally oriented engineering resources and experience, Sparta’s first project with Pioneer upgraded its older single eject NIR to a technologically cutting edge 112” wide dual eject NIR, enabling Pioneer to efficiently eject both OCC and mixed 3D recyclables from its mixed paper line, routing its pass fraction to its ONP QC sort line.  Sparta is highly accustomed to working in tight spots and figuring out how to optimally position new equipment and conveyors into systems not originally designed for them.
