MSort® AK
Highly precise colour sorting in fine grain sizes of 0.5 mm and above
The MSort AK is particularly suitable for dry colour sorting of bulk material such as glass, PET, minerals, sea salt and rock salt in a particle range from 0.5 – 60 mm. The chute sorting system is also able to accurately detect plastic granulates, ceramic, marble, quartz and plastic flakes.
The material reaches the machine via a feed and dispensing device, where it is evenly distributed on the vibrating conveyor and transported to the glass chute. This is where detection is carried out, which involves the individual parts of the material curtain sliding down to the detection system. State-of-the-art parallel processor technology is used to instantly evaluate the images based on colour and shape criteria. The sensor detects true colours and colour intensity in detail.
It also detects transparency using different forms of exposure within the range of visible light and is therefore able to sort using the transmitted-/reflected light method. Sensors also detect the particle size or shape (length/width ratio) in the air. The detection process can be used for statistical purposes or quality assurance at the same time as the sorting task.
Once detection is complete, the separated product flows can be separated out and evacuated using compressed air pulses.
Inductive detection is optional and enables ferrous and non-ferrous metals of 0.8 mm and above to be discharged with an extremely high level of sensitivity.
