Colour sorting systems have been used to classify and separate a wide range of materials for many years. Non-ferrous metals, printed circuit boards (Zorba or Zebra), heavy metals, copper and plastic flakes can be sorted by colour. Valuable residues are detected and separated using colour information sensors. Visible light spectrum (VIS) detection systems accurately identify subtle colour variations and LED emitters illuminate the detection area. The surface colour information of the material being sorted is determined and classified. This long-lasting equipment has fast response times and numerous advantages in terms of wavelength range, colour spectrum, high light intensities and energy efficiency.
Colour detection sensors go beyond the sensory perception achieved by the human eye, which can differentiate between green and blue PET flakes or brass and copper. We perceive colour in the visible light spectrum (VIS), ranging from approximately 400 to 780 nm. This spectrum is positioned between the ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) light spectra, which are invisible to the human eye. Highly accurate, colour sorting sensors can identify colour nuances within the RGB range, detecting around 16.8 million colours. Like other sensor-derived data, secondary characteristics can help to distinguish useful differences.
Colour information sensor sorting technology for classifying a wide range of materials and valuable residues. Detect and sort non-ferrous metals, printed circuit boards (Zorba or Zebra), heavy metals, copper and plastic flakes by colour. Low-cost solution for separating non-ferrous metals, can be combined with 3D detection equipment to produce high-quality concentrates. Effective, optical-based sorting system in the RGB colour space, detecting around 16.8 million colours. Ability to sort materials including plastic flakes with a grain size of 3mm.
