2021-Nov-10

Color sorting machine in grain processing and industrial product purification is more and more widely used, many business owners to color sorting machine in the company's procurement plan. At present, there are many brands and types of color sorters. How to choose a color sorter to avoid stepping into the trap of color sorter salesman's temptation? Here we list six color sorter sales staff often use deceptive methods.


First, the output of the color sorter is not infinite! The output of the color sorter is equal to the number of slots multiplied by the amount of material per slot, but limited by the physical structure of the slot color sorter, for example, the maximum number of slots can currently do 13; by the normal channel of each slot is 63, can be simply understood as the color sorter each slot at the same time only in 63 channels for analysis and judgment as well as rejection. When the material batch into the identification area of the color sorter, if the material is too much, it will cause the material to pile up and affect the sorting effect.

That’s why many manufacturers are promoting extra wide chutes, which are thought to be more frontal channels that can increase the recognition area and achieve higher throughput. Single total output is not infinite, according to our research in the market and the user's feedback. Normally can be calculated simply by 300 to 800KG per channel per hour. If the salesperson says the processing capacity of each channel is more than 1000KG, then he absolutely deceives you again.

Second, you need a bigger model to meet your current needs! In fact, with the increasing maturity of color sorter technology, most brands of machines can achieve a long period of uninterrupted work, small and medium-sized enterprises choose a small model of the machine can greatly save its initial investment costs and can meet the needs of production. In 2018, Grotech took the lead in launching the mini color sorter. mini type uses 0.5 standard width chutes with 32 channels, but it has the same sorting effect and functional characteristics as large machines, and its continuous output can be as high as 350KG per hour, which will reach 3.5 tons per day according to the calculation of 10 hours of work per day. Mini sorting machine was launched and became very popular in the market, because Prior to this, no color sorter manufacturer had ever produced a model with less than 1 standard width chute(as mentioned above, the standard width is 63 channels). Although most color sorter manufacturers have since the development and production of the mini model, manufacturers continue to recommend the large channel model to their customers in order to control profits. If you need to purchase a color sorter, please clarify your final output with your salesperson. This point will greatly reduce your initial investment and post-maintenance costs!

Third, our machine can achieve more than 99.9% accuracy! Don't trust the accuracy description in the parameter list, the accuracy and output of the color sorter are interrelated, the higher the accuracy requirement, the lower the output. How to ensure the accuracy and at the same time increase the yield is the real problem that every color sorter manufacturer is dealing with. For Grotech, our solution is split the whole chute. For example an ordinary width chute with 63 channels, we can divide 42 channels on the left for the first sorting, and the other 21 channels on the right as the second sorting through the elevator, which can give full play to the machine performance and improve the sorting accuracy.

Fourth, do not trust the low price! color sorting machine although now has mature technology, but there are still many perishable and consumable accessories. This is a special test of the manufacturer's strength and after-sales service issues, and even many sales staff will tell customers that they can provide up to 5 years or more free warranty. This is only possible for two reasons: 1, he marketed the machine using parts of unreliable quality, which will improve his profit margin, even high enough to meet the cost of after-sales maintenance for more than 5 years. 2, he may be a new brand of color sorter, but they use obsolete color sorter technology, so the cost of production is very low. Which mean it’s product may have many bugs. By the time your equipment needs maintenance, this manufacturer may have changed to another brand. Choosing a reliable manufacturer can save a lot of time and maintenance costs. You can ask the sales staff to provide their sales contracts in other countries. Generally speaking, companies that do global trade are relatively more stable and attach great importance to their own brands, and will not easily change their brands, because that will greatly harm their company reputation.

Five, remote control is important! need to be clear, remote control technology is indeed a very practical function, not only can remote control the machine, but also can achieve remote error diagnosis, with the shortest time to complete the machine problem troubleshooting and repair, improve production efficiency. However, many manufacturers do not specify what program they use for remote control, it is possible that they just install a home router inside the machine, and you can only control the machine by connecting the signal of this router near the machine. This is not true remote control technology, and certainly does not enable advanced functions such as remote error diagnosis. The real remote control technology is that even if the customer travels abroad, he can still monitor the real-time status of the color sorter through 4G or WiFi, and also invite the color sorter manufacturer's technical personnel to remotely assist in dealing with machine problems.
