The ore color sorter uses the principle of photoelectric sorting and the difference in the optical properties of the material for fine sorting. It can process a large amount of material in a short time, and has high sorting accuracy, which helps to improve the grade of the ore. CCD Sensor Based Ore Color Sorter   The color sorting process does not require the addition of chemical agents, which reduces environmental pollution and energy consumption, and meets the environmental protection requirements of modern mining. The ore color sorter with a high degree of intelligence can adapt to the changing properties of the ore, realize remote control and automatic operation, and reduce labor costs and downtime. With the development of science and technology, the technical performance of ore color sorters has been continuously improved, and more sensing technologies have been integrated, such as near-infrared spectroscopy analysis and thermal imaging, to achieve a more comprehensive and in-depth ore quality judgment. Since the ore color sorter has so many advantages, how should we choose a suitable color sorter? Generally speaking, when choosing an ore color sorter, you need to consider the following key factors: Determine the needs: Determine the appropriate type of color sorter based on your production requirements, sorting effect, applicable particle size range, sorting type, equipment stability, service life and budget. Technical performance: Choose a color sorter with advanced technology and stable performance, including the stability of the optical system, the advancement of the image processing algorithm, and the durability of the equipment. Brand and manufacturer reputation: Consider the brand's market reputation and after-sales service system, and choose manufacturers that can provide long-term technical support and quick response services. Equipment adaptability: Choose a color sorter that can adapt to different working environments and material characteristics, so as to maintain high efficiency and high precision under changing production conditions. Cost-effectiveness: Under the premise of meeting technical and performance requirements, choose a cost-effective color sorter to ensure the return on investment. Field investigation: If possible, go to the manufacturer's or existing users' site for an inspection and see the actual working effect of the color sorter with your own eyes, which will help verify the performance of the equipment and the manufacturer's service quality. Customization capability: Consider whether the manufacturer can provide customized services to meet specific material sorting needs.   Color Sorter After considering these factors, we will begin to understand the categories of ore color sorters. The main classification of ore color sorters can be divided according to different technical and application characteristics. The following are some common classification methods: Classification by technology: Traditional photoelectric color sorter: Use basic photoelectric sensors for color detection and sorting. CCD technology color sorter: Use charge coupled device (CCD) as an image sensor to provide higher resolution color recognition. Infrared technology color sorter: Use infrared to detect the difference in thermal radiation of ore for sorting. X-ray color sorter: Use X-rays to penetrate the ore and sort according to density differences. Classification by light source: LED light source color sorter: Use light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as more energy-saving and long-life light sources. Microwave light source color sorter: Use microwaves to excite ore to emit light for special types of color sorting. X-ray color sorter: Use X-rays as a light source, suitable for sorting occasions that require penetration. Classification by rack: Waterfall: The material flow is similar to a waterfall, suitable for continuous operation. Crawler type: the material moves on the crawler, which is suitable for sorting a variety of materials. Classification by material: Special color sorter: a color sorter designed for a specific type of ore or material, such as rice color sorter, grain color sorter, tea color sorter, etc.   Color Sorter These classifications reflect the diversity of ore color sorters in different technologies and application scenarios. We can choose the appropriate color sorter model according to the actual ore characteristics and processing requirements. The ore color sorter independently developed by Hefei Mingde Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. has the following advantages: 1. The independently developed software system and closed whole machine structure, the main internal components are all imported components, which can adapt to the requirements of high dust, high pollution, high corrosion and other environments in the industrial and mining industries, with a wider range of applications and longer life. 2. The 32-bit true color image processing method is adopted, and mathematical morphology is applied based on the HSI color space to achieve better sorting effect and improve the flexibility and sorting ability of the color sorter operation. 3. High-precision full-color linear array CCD sensor technology can detect subtle color differences of about 0.02mm; according to the different characteristics of the ore, different processing methods are used to ensure the accurate identification of ore and other selected materials. 4. The device has high output and high precision. The output of some models has exceeded 40 tons/hour, which is 4-5 times that of similar manufacturers in China. It is suitable for large and medium-sized mining companies to meet the requirements of high output and high precision in mineral processing. 5. The range of selectable materials is large, and the size of the sorted materials ranges from 16 mesh to 4 cm, which avoids the repeated crushing adopted by users for the use of color sorting machines, reduces breakage and reduces resource waste. 6. Double-layer crawler flexible material conveying, higher color sorting accuracy and low carry-out ratio. 7. The first manufacturer to develop and launch large and small particles at the same time, one color sorter can meet the requirements of simultaneous sorting of materials with large specifications. 8. The vibrating feeding part and the main part of the equipment adopt a split structure to avoid the influence of vibration generated during the feeding process on the host, making the equipment run more stable. 9. Unique modular design, automatic dust removal and automatic spraying combined with self-maintenance function ensures the continuous and long-term working state of the equipment. 10. The parts of the machine body that contact the material are equipped with a protective layer, which has the characteristics of wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and easy replacement, ensuring the long service life of the whole machine. At the same time, according to customer needs, the company can provide specific machine customization services. In addition, through years of dedicated research, the company has introduced AI technology and big data technology in the field of photoelectric sorting. The self-developed AI intelligent sorting machine has higher sorting accuracy and can sort more types of ores. In addition, the after-sales service provided by the company is also very complete. After the customer purchases the machine, we will arrange special technicians to install and debug locally, provide a full set of operation training for customer employees, ensure the delivery and normal use of the machine, and let customers rest assured. In general, when choosing a color sorter, paying attention to the strength and after-sales service of the color sorter manufacturer is crucial to ensure the efficient operation of the equipment and return on investment. When choosing a color sorter, priority should be given to manufacturers with a good market reputation, strong technical background and a complete after-sales service system.
