UniSort Finealyse Steinert’s sorting unit is optimized for separating small particles from bulk materials. It consists of a feed and dispensing device with a material hopper, an acceleration conveyor belt, a discharge hood and a compressed air-nozzle bar. It is equipped with a high-resolution and highly selective color detection unit.
What’s new? An improved, higher-resolution system, the UniSort Finealyse+, specifically for processing plastic flakes, electronic scrap and metal fines between 4mm and 30 mm. It features high-resolution near-infrared, sensor and color camera technologies, automatic white balance and a high-speed conveyor belt. With its Active Object Control, the system can identify materials, as air from air nozzles pushes out rejects.
Benefits Even better product purity and increased throughput. UniSort Finealyse+ reliably removes incorrect colors and unwanted plastics from plastic flakes. It is also well-suited to color sorting of non--ferrous metals in addition to removing unwanted plastics from electronic scrap. With the new system, additional product characteristics can be identified and mapped at the same point, ensuring even more stable detection. The system is capable of split functions, so it can sort multiple material flows, or sort and clean products simultaneously.
