Optical Sorting Machine

Optical Sorting (sometimes called digital sorting) is the automaticc process of sorting solid products using cameras and lasers.

Depending on the types of sensors used and software-driven intelligence of the image processing system,optical sorting machine can recognize objects' color and size.The sorter compares objects to user-defined accept/reject criteria to identify and remove defective products and foreign material(FM) from the production line,or to separate product of different grades or types of material.

Optical sorters are widespread used in the food industry worldwide,with the highest adoption in processing harvested foods such as rice,grains,beans,pulses,spices,nuts,dehydrated vegetable.The technology is also used in waste recycling and mineral industry.Compared to manual sorting,which is subjective and inconsistent,optical sorting helps improve product quality ,maximize throughput and increase yields while reducing labor costs.

Optical Sorter machine is ideal for grain processors who sort different varieties of grains and at different processing stages.The sorting range is suitable for processors who demand the highest quality.

The Optical Sorting System

In general,optical sorters feature four major components:the feed system,the optical system,image processing software and the separation system.The objective of the feed system is to spread product into a uniform monolayer so products are presented to the optical system without clumps,at a constant velocity.The optical system includes lights and sensors housed above and/or below the flow of the objects being inspected.The image processing system compares objects to user-defined accept/reject thresholds to classify objects and actuate the separation system.

Some advantages of  Color Sorter

1,Near human eye vision color sorting technology, using 16 million colors, brings the best sorting performances

2, Full-color cameras optical system, with dimensional control of the defects, allows 0.1mm optical resolution

3,image acquisition allows the easy and accurate setting of the defects to remove. Software adjustment is completely automatic thanks to HSV technology

4,Shape-sizing integrated into the system

5,Most concentrated rejects, thanks to customized hi-tech ejectors

6,Highest production capacities, automatically regulated by a feeder control device

7,Possibility to have simultaneous product resort, even with reverse sorting and third sorting.

8,Possibility to add sloping chutes for sorter upgrading or production increase

9,Possibility to install additional cameras operating in NIR after machine installation at working premises

10,Led lighting system which is digital control

11,Automatic cleaning system, with adjustable frequency and duration

12,Tilting optical boxes, to allow an easy internal access for maintenance operations

13,Airtight optical boxes with controlled temperature

14,Designed mechanics grants the highest hygiene and prevents product outflow or accumulation

15,Provision with de-dusting suction systems

16,14-inches display with full-color and multilingual touch-screen

17,Flexible and user-friendly

18,Reduced electric and compressed air consumption.

19,CE certification

20,Use best quality components to ensure excellent quality.

21,From one chute to sixteen chutes to meet any different production capacity requirement
