Optical Sorter for Plastic "Pellet Sorter DS" Released

Improving sorting efficiency with opaque plastics

Satake has released the optical sorter "Pellet Sorter DS", able to remove the rejected products of speck or different colour from raw materials for plastic pellets.


Pellet Sorter DS

Satake introduced the optical sorter "Pellet Sorter" for use with both transparent and opaque plastic pellets in 2009. Since then we have worked at creating a new improved optical sorter focusing in particular on increasing sorting efficiency with opaque plastic pellets.

The newly introduced "Pellet Sorter DS" is tuned to applications with opaque plastic pellets. Dual cameras ensure that input raw materials can be checked from both sides during sorting. Sorting efficiency is therefore increased when used with opaque plastic pellets.

It uses highly accurate CCD cameras with a resolution of 0.06mm in the sorting section as well as the existing model. It is therefore able to see even the smallest surface speck or contamination. Its processing capacity is 4t/h at maximum, providing high sorting efficiency.

Prospective markets include plastic pellet manufacturer and plastic recycling.

Features

Increases sorting efficiency in case of with opaque plastics
Dual cameras ensure that input raw materials can be checked from both sides during sorting., increasing sorting efficiency with opaque plastic pellets.
Highly accurate CCD camera with a resolution of 0.06mm
It can see even the smallest surface speck or contamination.
Higher sorting efficiency
Its processing capacity is 4t/h at maximum. It enables high sorting efficiency.


Structure

Front and rear cameras are able to see plastic pellets one by one as they are flowing down the belt conveyor. Compressed air from the ejector removes the raw materials as rejected products or foreign materials.
