Which is better, belt color sorter or chute sorter?

2022-Sep-20

Color sorter can be divided into belt color sorter and chute color sorter. Do you know the difference between them and which one is better? Generally, belt sorters are more common than chute sorters.


What is a belt color sorter?

The belt color sorter is an optical sorter that uses a photosensitive sensor to identify the color of the material, and then uses a high-precision ejector to sort it. The whole process is automatically completed by computer program control, with high precision, good stability and fast speed. Widely used in food, medicine, chemical and other industries.


The belt sorter can not only sort out unqualified products of different colors from raw materials, but also separate products of the same color with different colors. For example, it can sort brown rice from white rice, or light yellow rice from dark yellow rice.


The belt color sorter is a color sorter with light as the sorting standard. It is mainly composed of lighting system, conveying system and control system. Raw materials to be sorted are placed on conveyor belts and then passed through a lighting system. The photosensitive sensor in the control system judges the color of each grain according to the intensity of the reflected light, and finally ejects it from the corresponding outlet according to the set standard.


What is a chute sorter?

A chute sorter is a conveyor belt specifically designed to sort packages or other items based on their weight, size and shape. This system is commonly used in warehouses and distribution centers to quickly and efficiently sort products for shipping.


Chute sorters typically consist of a series of interconnected chutes that lead down to a sorting conveyor. Items are placed on top of the chute, and gravity pulls them down the chute until they reach the conveyor belt. There, sensors and cameras can identify the characteristics of each item and route it to the appropriate destination.


Chute sorters are usually very accurate and can handle large volumes of packages with ease. They are also relatively simple to maintain and operate, making them a popular choice for many businesses. However, chute sorters can be somewhat expensive to purchase and install, so they may not be the best choice for every business.


How to choose a color sorter? The first thing you need to do is figure out what type of product you want to sort. There are many different types of products that can be sorted using a belt optical sorter, so you need to make sure you choose a machine designed for your specific application.
