TomRobots Welcomes Kazakh Partners for Exclusive Preview of Revolutionary L88 reverse vending machine
by TomRobots on Sep 19, 2025

September 18, 2023 — TomRobots, a global innovator in smart recycling solutions, was honored to host a delegation from Kazakhstan—a valued client with a history of successful collaboration. The visit centered on an in-depth exploration of our latest breakthrough product, the L88 AI-Driven Reverse Vending Machine, which integrates artificial intelligence, 360-degree barcode scanning, metal detection, automated sorting, and compaction capabilities. Having previously deployed our RVM135 reverse vending machine, the client expressed strong interest in upgrading their current infrastructure after witnessing the L88’s performance.
A Partnership Built on Reliability and Innovation
The client, a major operator in Central Asia’s waste management sector, first installed TomRobots’ RVM135 bottle recycling machine two years ago. Since then, the machine has significantly improved recycling efficiency and user engagement in their local markets. “The RVM135 proved to be a robust and dependable piece of equipment,” the client remarked. “Its durability and consistent performance in high-traffic environments encouraged us to explore TomRobots’ newer offerings.”
This visit underscores the growing international demand for intelligent reverse vending machine for sale that not only collect containers but also process data and improve operational logistics.
Introducing the L88: The Future of Reverse Vending Technology
The L88 represents a generational leap in recycling technology. Designed for smart cities and large-scale recycling programs, it combines multiple advanced functions into one seamless system:
1.AI-Powered Identification
Using deep learning algorithms, the L88 recognizes container types, materials, and conditions—even with damaged labels or partial barcodes.
2.360-Degree Multi-Angle Barcode Scanning
No matter how a bottle is inserted, the L88 captures barcode data from any angle, drastically reducing misreads and improving processing speed.
3.Integrated Metal Detection
The system automatically detects and separates metal containers using electromagnetic sensors, enhancing material purity for recycling.
4.Automated Sorting and Compaction
After identification, containers are sorted by material type and compacted on-site, reducing storage space and transportation costs.
During the demonstration, the client was particularly impressed by the machine’s ability to process mixed batches of containers without human intervention. “The L88 isn’t just a bottle recycling machine—it’s a fully integrated recycling station,” explained Dr. Li, TomRobots’ Chief Engineer.
Why Upgrade from RVM135 to L88?
While the RVM135 reverse vending machine remains a reliable workhorse for basic recycling operations, the L88 offers substantial improvements in automation, data collection, and operational efficiency. Key benefits of upgrading include:
Higher throughput and faster processing times
Reduced maintenance thanks to self-diagnosing AI
Real-time reporting via cloud-based dashboard
Enhanced user experience with interactive UI and instant rewards
Lower long-term operating costs due to automated sorting and compaction
The Kazakh client noted that these features would allow them to expand services into denser urban areas and offer more incentive-based recycling programs.
Global Interest in Intelligent Reverse Vending Machines
TomRobots has seen increasing demand for AI-enhanced reverse vending machine for sale from regions including Europe, Southeast Asia, and Central Asia. The shift toward smart waste management is driven by stricter environmental regulations, corporate ESG commitments, and public awareness of circular economy principles.
Companies looking to invest in a next-generation bottle recycling machine are prioritizing technology that offers scalability, connectivity, and minimal operational overhead. The L88 meets these needs while remaining user-friendly and durable in demanding environments.
Looking Ahead: A New Phase of Collaboration
The Kazakh delegation concluded their visit with a preliminary discussion about upgrading their current RVM135 reverse vending machine units to the L88 model. They also explored possibilities for a regional partnership to distribute TomRobots products throughout Kazakhstan and neighboring countries.
“We see tremendous potential in the L88,” the delegation lead stated. “It aligns perfectly with our national sustainability goals and we believe it will revolutionize how recycling is done in our public and private sectors.”
