Triangular conveyor

Triangular conveyor used in optical sorting, separating light and heavy materials.

The angled conveyor design in the optical sorting machine enables efficient separation of light and heavy materials.

As mixed material flow moves upward, lighter particles rise to the surface and slide away, while heavier ones stay below. This design keeps the material flow smooth and improves sorting accuracy.

Separation

Materials are categorized according to their size, shape, color, etc.

Sorting into 2 or 6 segments

Compared to manual sorting, which is subjective and inconsistent, optical sorting helps improve product quality, maximize throughput and increase yields while reducing labor costs.

Types of sorted
materials

  • Dull-dirty-dangerous work

  • High payroll and social taxes

  • Seasonal staffing gaps

  • Low control and low effectiveness

  • Risk of theft

Less people - more automation

More sorting - less waste

  • Sorting system is active 24/7

  • Remote monitoring

  • Ongoing algorithm optimization

  • Cost effective. Low lease costs

  • No fraud

360° camera

Diagram showing optical sorting camera setup capturing objects from all sides.

The 360-degree camera with a dual mirror system captures every side of each object in motion, ensuring no detail is missed.

Its advanced optical design allows full image coverage at high speed, making it essential for optical sorting machines that require precise inspection and quality control.

The high resolution and fast image capture deliver accurate data for sorting, helping improve efficiency.

Setting category criteria

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 materials.

Recognizing pieces with the camera

Depending on the types of sensors used and the software-driven intelligence of the image processing system, optical sorters can recognize an object's characteristics:

color

size

shape

strucaral properties

chemical composition
