Fine Sorter MikroSort® AF

Technical description:

The MikroSort® AF was developed for sorting plastic material flakes (PET, PE, PVC, particle size range 0 to 15 mm). Further applications include dry bulk materials such as rock salt, marble, burnt lime, quartz/feldspar and fire-resistant materials (particle size range 1 to 10 mm.

The MikroSort® AF has a working width of 900 mm and scans the bulk materials while they are falling by means of a color line camera. The information obtained is transmitted, via an industrial computer, to 224 extremely fast compressed air valves each of which serves one compressed air nozzle. Parts to be rejected are evaluated by position, form and size and blown out of the material flow. Depending on the material, particle size distribution and the quantity of rejected material, between 1 and 10 tons of material can be sorted per hour.

Advantages of the MikroSort® AF:

Inexpensive sorting of very fine bulk materials by color and brightness is possible.
Even slight color differences (e.g. blue, bright blue, bright green) are detected reliably and are available as sorting parameters.
Rejection rates of up to 2000 particles/second are realized in continuous operation.
The material yield is maximized by accurate detection, exact sorting and re-sorting of the rejected material.
Fine non-ferrous and ferrous metal particles are detected parallel to the color sorting and discharged in the rejected material flow.
Thanks to the accurate detection and the fast and quick activation of the valves, the sorting operation is performed at a very low specific compressed air pressure.
Low-maintenance operation thanks to automatic cleaning system.
