Shape Sorter v3
Our Basic Model.
Our Shape Sorter sorts industrial diamonds or other grains of a similar size range based on their varying shapes. It includes an oscillating table, an oscillating storage reservoir, and 15 collection boxes.
Cutting Edge Technology.
Replication Guaranteed.
The table surface inclination can be adjusted using electrical drives, with the angles measured by sensors and displayed on the Tablet-PC.
The oscillation frequency of the table is electronically controlled, ensuring that fluctuations in the mains frequency do not affect the sorting process. An acceleration sensor is utilized for precise control of the oscillation amplitude, making the device insensitive to mains voltage changes. This electronic control system facilitates the replication of machine settings for sorting different materials.
Operating Principle
The operating principle relies on the distinct movement behavior of particles on an inclined oscillating table.
The system effectively separates various shapes such as spheres, cubes, cubooctahedrons, broken particles, irregular shapes, and platelets.
During oscillation, diamonds are transported from the backside corner of the sorting tray towards the open edge with the collecting receptacles at the opposite corner.
Laws of Physics.
Effectively Used.
The inclination of the sorting table produces the following effect:
- Blocky crystals, resembling rolling balls, move downward and collect in the lower boxes.
- Irregularly shaped crystals, unable to roll, are propelled upward by the oscillation and are collected in the upper boxes.
Optimal sorting angle and vibration amplitude must be selected based on the specific sorting task.
