How Does Rice Color Sorter Machine Work?

2025-05-26

With the continuous improvement of people’s living standards, high-quality rice is becoming more and more popular. The production and processing of high-quality rice has also helped farmers and rice processors to increase their income while meeting the needs of consumers.

The rice color sorting machine plays an indispensable role in the rice processing process. After continuous product iteration, the latest rice color sorter can accurately identify and remove materials based on multi-dimensional features such as color, shape, texture, size, area, weight, softness and hardness. Compared with manual selection, the large intelligent rice color sorter not only makes the rice processing more labor-saving, time-saving, efficient and low-cost, but also greatly improves the quality, economic and social benefits of the selected products.

How does the rice color sorter work?

The rice color sorter is a machine that uses photoelectric technology to automatically sort out the particles of different colors in the rice according to the difference in the optical characteristics of the rice, so as to achieve the effect of improving the quality of the rice and removing impurities. Rice color sorter is mainly composed of feeding system, optical sorting device, control system, lighting system and air system.

Let's take a popular AMD product as an example to introduce how the rice color sorter works. The working principle is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1

The material enters the machine through the top hopper, and enters the upper end of the material distribution tank through the vibration of the vibrator. The selected material will slide along the material trough to the sorting room, and the image sensor can accurately obtain the color information of the material through the illumination of the light in the sorting room.

The sensor compares the detected color with the set color. When the color signal exceeds the set range, it will be judged as a non-conforming product.

After the control system receives the message, it delays accurately, and when the target material reaches the center of the injection, it drives the solenoid valve to inject high-pressure airflow, so as to blow the unqualified material into the waste box, and the qualified material will naturally fall to the material box middle.

At the same time, the rice color sorter is also equipped with infrared lighting. When the material passes through, it is scanned by the infrared light. It can also identify the material according to its shape and material. It can also be based on shape and material, which greatly improves the ability of the color sorter to screen materials.

Optical Sorting Technology Simplifies Plastic Bottle Recycling Process

2025-05-26

There is no doubt that the plastic bottle is a great invention. They are lightweight and easy to hold, yet sturdy and not prone to breaking. Plastic bottles are the best way to hold and carry a wide variety of liquids, from water and soft drinks to oils and more. Disposable plastic bottles not only make people’s lives easier, but also bring serious challenges to the global environment.

According to statistics, there are currently about 1 million discarded plastic bottles in the world every minute (this is almost 1.5 billion plastic bottles per day!), and less than 50% of plastic bottles are recycled. According to a report released by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, if the problem is not addressed, by 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish.

Plastic Sorting Machine

The recycling of plastic bottles is an important measure to solve ecological environmental pollution. After you throw plastic bottles into a mixed recycling bin, someone somewhere has to sort the material in order to turn it into something new. This is what plastic bottle recycling manufacturers are doing. However, recycling plastic bottles can only be a profitable venture if the material has previously been separated into homogeneous parts by color and type to meet high quality standards. As one of the leading experts in the field of industrial plastic sorters, AMD's bottle sorting machine can handle the job - sorting all kinds with precision, reliability and efficiency.

Separation of PET and PVC flakes with Optical sorting technology

2025-05-26

The controlled concentration of PVC in PET flakes is essential in the plastics recycling process for most PET cleaning and recycling plants.

This is because of the low melting point of PVC, which can cause clogging of the nozzles and increased breakage rates due to premature melting and carbonisation during the PET production spinning process, which can result in a large number of black spots in the product and affect the quality of the PET product. However, most high-end applications (e.g. the production of high-grade polyester fibres) require a PVC concentration of well below 50 ppm. therefore, in order to sell to high-end users at a high price, PET recyclers must make an extra effort toremove PVC from the PET flakes produced.

How to remove PVC from PET flakes?

PVC is difficult to identify with the naked eye as it is almost the same colour as PET, and even more difficult to remove when crushed into flakes. Due to the difference in melting point, PVC is the "number one enemy" of PET in the spinning process. In the face of this "scourge" that has to be removed, which is the perfect choice in modern processes: manual, electrostatic or optical sorting?

Manual Sorting
High labour costs and low efficiency, but small investment, easy to get started and flexible in operation.

Electrostatic Sorting
Electrostatic sorting is a method of sorting using the different frictional and electrical properties of various plastics, which is simple, efficient and suitable for plastics of similar density that are not easily sorted. The use of electrostatic sorting requires multiple sorting for a variety of plastic scraps that are mixed together, as only one plastic can be sorted out per pre-selection set voltage. In addition, electrostatic sorting has high input material requirements, which are influenced by the type of plastic additive, the degree of homogeneity, the surface condition of the particles and the degree of residual dryness of the test material, and has high operating costs.

Optical Sorting
The origins of optical sorting machines can be traced back to the 1930's and were mainly used to improve the quality and safety of food products. As the technology has developed and matured, optical sorting techniques such as near infrared sorting and colour camera sorting have become more widely used in the recycling of plastic waste.
Optical sorting is based on the difference in spectral properties of different plastics and automated sorting, it uses mature near infrared (NIR), visible light (VIS) to detect materials to identify different materials, colours, and selected materials through compressed air sorting out, is currently the highest degree of automation, recognition of the highest accuracy of a type of sorting technology on the market.
The use of a specific wavelength range of near-infrared irradiation of the sorted material, the different materials presented by the different reflectance spectrum for sorting judgment. NIR technology can distinguish between different materials of plastics, including PET, HDPE, LDPE, PVC, PS, PP, etc., with an accuracy rate of over 99%. Its advantages are high sorting accuracy, high throughput, and low operating costs and no pollution, making it an ideal choice for industrial upgrading in the plastic recycling industry in an environment of tightening environmental policies. However, black plastics cannot be sorted by this technology.

ZHONGKE AMD is a global leader in optical sorting technology and offers a flexible range of technology solutions, including NIR, Deep Learning, UV and visible light, depending on the components of the material to be sorted and the sorting needs of the user.

Designed for separation of PET and PVC flakes，AMD I series Polymer Sorter supports material & color sorting in one machine.

What are the main benefits of dry beneficiation?

2025-05-26

The separation of coal by water washing is still used in some traditional coal mines. Since the coal has to be dried after washing, this process not only wastes water resources, but also entails higher labor costs and the risk of personal injury.

Zhongke AMD is the world's leading coal separator manufacturer. After years of industry market research and technology accumulation, we have introduced the most advanced sorting equipment into the coal industry to help it achieve the goal of intelligent sorting and green mining.

Zhongke AMD ICS intelligent dry coal sorting machine integrates X-ray imaging, pneumatic rejection and big data processing technology to deeply identify different coal qualities and automatically remove gangue and impurities. This coal gangue sorting machine has the advantages of simple operation, convenient maintenance, resistance to harsh environments, low operating costs, and high sorting efficiency.

What are the main benefits of using optical sorting equipment for dry beneficiation?

1. Effectively reduce processing costs and improve product coal quality.
The gangue is discharged in advance, which effectively reduces the processing cost of the main washing system. At the same time, the X-ray sorting machine can accurately identify coal and gangue, and improve the quality of coal products.

2. Significantly reduce labor allocation and salary expenses
Taking the coal mine with an annual output of 4 million tons, there are 24 hand-pickers, and the intelligent sorting system can reduce the number of hand-pickers by 22, and the per capita wage insurance is 83,000 yuan/year, which can save 1.826 million yuan in labor costs each year.

3. Prevent workers from accidental safety accidents
Accidental safety accidents occur every year on the manual gangue-picking production line. The handling of gangue often hits hands and feet. The intelligent sorting system can realize unattended automatic sorting.

4. Reduce the number of mis-sorted coal blocks
Manual sorting has low efficiency, and the processing capacity per unit time is limited. Treating the coal lumps as gangue or reducing the belt speed for sorting will not only affect the efficiency, because mis-sorting will also bring a lot of losses to the coal mine. According to the statistics of coal mines, the number of mis-picks per year is thousands of tons.

5. After the gangue is discharged in advance, reduce the working load of the crusher

After the gangue is discharged in advance, it will save a lot of cost and the failure rate is low, avoiding the mine shutdown accident caused by the failure of the crusher. The gangue does not go through the water washing system and does not produce secondary slime, which reduces the load of the slime water system and reduces the cost of subsequent flotation.

Any interests, get in touch with one of our engineers today for a privatedry coal beneficiation solution.
