SmartSort LK-type optical sorter
The SmartSort LK-type optical sorter is one of SmartSort’s speciality sorting solutions designed for loose oversized assortments. This device model extends the range of applications of the optical sorter with very large and heavy fractions, without losing anything out on the detection capabilities of colour defects.
Largest fractions
Thanks to the modification of the arrangement of the vision and conveyor systems, the SmartSort LK-type optical sorter is able to stabilize assortments with very high inertia and provide them with a controlled trajectory through the detection area despite their large dimensions and weight. In this device, high-resolution Cloud cameras are positioned as far as possible while maintaining full sorting efficiency to allow for efficient flow of assortments up to 80 mm in diameter; conveyor belts stabilize the sorted elements, shortening the time that the assortment is in the air and giving them maximum speed that ensures no damage to the product and the device.
Reliable detection
The SmartSort LK-type optical sorter is equipped with the same Cloud cameras vision systems as any standard equipment, and integrated circuits and relays operating together with the EagleEye software, so that even minor defects can be detected on very large grain size assortments. This model of SmartSort devices is equipped with a large diameter nozzle matrix, which, combined with its higher operating pressure values and the use of very high frequency electromagnetic valves, allows for effective cleaning of very large and heavy assortments, usually of mineral origin, and minimizing the level of good material in the waste.
Maximizing effects
Like all SmartSort devices, the LK-type has the ability to remotely control and modify parameters of the sorting processes when connected to the network, through the same intuitive interface as the stationary control panels, allowing one to control the balance between performance and sorting quality, while never compromising on the safety of work with heavy assortments.
