Cutting-edge separation using shape recognition

3DS sensor sorting systems offer enhanced separation accuracy with improved product purity and yield. This sensor-based system is ideal for sorting minerals, scrap, wire, and ICW (insulated copper wire) to airbag and plastic separation. The 3DS sensor can recognise three-dimensional shapes precisely to only a few millimetres. By analysing optical and surface properties, as well as distinguishing between round and flat objects, the 3DS can identify minerals based on their characteristics. This sorting system can separate minerals of the same colour, airbag containers from other metals, and ICW from metal chunks.

3-dimensional sensor-based sorting

The 3DS is an optical laser sensor that automatically recognises 3-dimensional shapes and volumes. These properties are then used as extra parameters in the manual conveyor belt sorting process. In many instances, 3DS sensor sorting systems can lead to the use of compressed air being reduced and higher throughput. As a result, this type of separation sorting can significantly increase efficiencies for your recycling plant or facility. The 3DS is an innovative solution, which can be used independently or in combination with other sorting systems. Can be used with colour sensor systems and x-ray transmission technology.
