APPLICATION PROFILE

The range of machines designed for automatic sorting of different colour bulk or crushed materials by using the CCD optical camera system.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The material to be sorted is fed with a vibratory conveyor or belt conveyor (depending on the sorter type). The optical camera system immediately detects and determines location of an off-colour contaminant. The signal is processed by the controller equipped with data evaluation electronics that activates the suitable nozzle of the integrated ejection system. As a result a contaminant is removed with very little loss of good material from the material stream.

APPLICATIONS

• Sorts plastics according to different colours: PET and HD-PE bottles and flakes, re-granulated PVC, technical plastics
• Removes off-colour contaminants e.g. rubber from plastics
• Removes off-colour contaminants e.g. rubber from wood chips
• Separates non-ferrous metals from grey metals: separation of copper / brass from aluminium scrap or stainless steel
• Sorts glass cullet according to different colours
• Separates off-colour contaminants from light bulb cullet
• Improves quality of mineral aggregates

ADVANTAGES

• Evaluation of the entire visible light spectrum
• Intelligent data evaluation electronics
• High-speed valves of ejection nozzles
• Modular design
