Working principle
Optical sorter, also known as photometric sorter, is a device that uses the different light reflection characteristics of materials for sorting. It combines modern detection, sensing, artificial intelligence and other technologies to quickly identify the physical characteristics of materials and separate materials from waste.

Working principle of optical sorter:
Optical sorter mainly uses ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared light and other objects to produce absorption, reflection and transmission phenomena to detect materials. Then, compressed air, water or robotic arms are used to separate target materials from non-target materials.
Specifically, the raw materials are input into the optical sorter equipment through a conveyor belt, and the spectral sensor is installed above the conveyor belt. When the material passes, the sensor can quickly scan the material on the conveyor belt, record and analyze the size, color and material of the material. If the identified material characteristic parameters are the same as the material characteristics set to be sorted, this information will be sent to the sorting unit of the optical sorter. The sorting unit sends a command signal to instruct the solenoid valve to release the pre-prepared high-pressure airflow. Under the action of the airflow (a large number of high-pressure nozzles), the specified material is blown away from the original drop track and taken away by the conveyor belt at the rear. The unseparated materials fall into the lower conveyor belt according to the original track.
