Color Sorter is a highly efficient automated device widely used in food processing, mining, and chemicals to ensure product quality. Its working principle can be divided into the following key steps:
-
Feeding System: The materials to be sorted are delivered to the feed inlet via a conveyor belt. The feeding device starts vibrating, spreading the material evenly on the feed chute. Under the action of the vibrating chute, the material automatically forms a continuous linear arrangement and enters the photoelectric detection system at a constant speed.
-
Photoelectric Detection System: The machine is equipped with an LED light source inside, providing stable and uniform illumination for the material to ensure the most accurate color is displayed during detection. High-resolution cameras and sensors capture images of the material under specific lighting and send them to the image processing center for identification.
-
Image Processing System: The acquired images are transmitted to the control system. Hawit’s independently developed algorithm analyzes the color, shape, and size characteristics of each object. Using this algorithm, the system compares the material's features with preset standards (such as color differences between qualified and defective products) to quickly identify the materials that need to be removed.
-
Execution System: Once defective material is detected, high-pressure air valves control the opening and closing of high-pressure gas according to preset instructions. The air nozzles then blow the non-compliant material into the waste bin.
-
Output System: After processing, the finished products and waste are separately sorted into different discharge outlets, ensuring efficient sorting is achieved.
