Sensor based sorting 2012

Viac o knihe

Sensor-based sorting is a cutting-edge innovation in mineral processing and secondary raw materials. This method utilizes single particle separation, featuring key components such as a vibrating conveyor for precise feeding, a conveyance system for sorting, an emitter system for electromagnetic radiation, and a sensor system to detect material attributes through modified radiation. Data from the sensors is interpreted by a software-controlled electronic device, and a pneumatic discharge device separates identified components. Modern machines often combine various sensors to identify multiple material properties simultaneously, with real-time data evaluation enabled by advanced computer systems. This rapid technological progress allows for the handling of large data volumes and enhances the machines' learning capabilities, making them adaptable to changes in process flow, material composition, and product quality requirements. Significant advancements have also been made in sensor development, covering an electromagnetic spectrum from visible light to X-rays, enabling the detection of materials with grain sizes over 1 mm. The ongoing integration of new sensor systems continually expands operational possibilities. The benefits of sensor-based sorting in mineral processing and recycling are substantial, leading to the organization of the fifth conference “Sensor Based Sorting 2012” to foster collaboration among operators, sup
