Electronic Colour Sorters
High-throughput optical and NIR sorting to remove discoloured, damaged, or foreign material.
Optical and near-infrared sorting machines that detect and eject discoloured, damaged, or foreign material from a product stream at high throughput. Belt or chute-fed configurations suit different product types and capacities.
Electronic colour sorter integrating full-colour cameras and NIR sensors to eject defective material at high throughput
01 / 01Overview
Electronic colour sorters use high-resolution cameras and near-infrared (NIR) sensors to inspect each particle in the product stream and eject defective or foreign material using precision air jets. Modern colour sorters detect colour defects, shape anomalies, translucency differences, and chemical composition differences (via NIR) that cameras alone cannot see. Belt-fed sorters spread the product in a single layer for maximum inspection coverage before the ejection point. Chute-fed sorters drop the product past the cameras in free-fall for higher throughput rates. Facet Engineering sources and integrates colour sorters from leading manufacturers, incorporating them into the plant conveying and aspiration systems with matched feeding and post-sorting conveying.

Notes
Colour sorter brands are selected to suit the specific product and throughput requirement: Facet Engineering integrates preferred client brands where specified.
Pre-cleaning and destoning before the colour sorter reduces machine wear and improves sort efficiency.
