The recycling landscape in America is shifting from "bulk processing" to "precision recovery." Nowhere is this more evident than in Las Vegas, Nevada, where a prominent family-owned recycling firm—partnering with retail giants and Amazon—just took a massive leap forward in automation. By integrating theENERPAT ES-A12024 AI Sorting Robot, this facility has transformed a high-cost, labor-intensive textile line into a model of modern efficiency.

The Challenge: High Investment vs. Manual Inefficiency

Our client faced a classic industry dilemma: the desire to implement a full-scalewaste cloth shredding machineline while grappling with the high capital expenditure and the unpredictability of textile feedstocks. Initially, the client relied on manual labor to sort fabrics by color and material—a process prone to human error, rising labor costs, and inconsistent output quality.

To mitigate risk, the client visited ENERPAT's US warehouse for a live trial. Impressed by the immediate performance of ourTwo Shafts Shredder on baled textiles, they purchased the MSB-E1200 on the spot. Three months of flawless operation built the trust necessary for the next logical step: Full Automation.

The Solution: AI-Driven Precision Sorting

To upgrade their facility, ENERPAT installed theES-A12024 AI Sorting Robot. Unlike traditional optical sorters, this system utilizes deep-learning "computer vision" to identify fabrics based on:

• Color & Texture: Precise separation for high-value 3A grade recycling.

• Material Composition: Distinguishing between synthetics, cotton, and blends.

• Brand & Function: Identifying specific garment types or labels.

Why this matters for the bottom line:

1. Labor Savings:The system replaces 8–10 manual sorters, drastically reducing overhead.

2. Increased Purity: Achieving up to 95% accuracy, ensuring the material fed into thewaste cloth shredding machine is uniform and high-value.

3. High Throughput:Capable of processing up to 9 tons per hour, keeping pace with the most demanding industrial workflows.

Market Analysis: The "Textile Crisis" in Nevada

For businesses in the Southwest, the clock is ticking. Nevada, and specifically Clark County, is home to some of the world’s largest landfills, such as the Apex Regional Landfill.

• The Data: According to the EPA, the US generates over 17 million tons of textile waste annually, yet the recovery rate hovers below 15%. In a hospitality-heavy city like Las Vegas, the volume of discarded linens, towels, and uniforms from the hotel and tourism sector is staggering.

• The Policy Shift:While Nevada currently aims for a 25% recycling rate, the Nevada Department of Environmental Protection (NDEP) is increasingly offering grants and incentives for "Circular Economy" projects.

• The Future:As landfill space tightens and corporate ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) requirements from partners like Amazon become stricter, manual sorting is no longer a viable long-term strategy.

Technical Synergy: The ENERPAT Ecosystem

The success of this Las Vegas site lies in the integration of ENERPAT recycling sorting machines with our robust size-reduction technology.

The facility now operates a seamless loop:

1. AI Sorting: The AI sorting machine classifies the waste by color.

2. Primary Shredding: Our Two Shafts Shredder handles the bulky, baled fabric.

3. Secondary Processing: Depending on the end-use (insulation, rags, or chemical recycling), aSingle Shaft Shredder can be utilized for precise particle sizing.

"After only two days of commissioning by ENERPAT’s US engineers, the system was fully operational. The client’s confidence has grown to the point where this facility is now an official ENERPAT showcase site."
