Glass recycling sorting system K9

opticalcolorautomatic

The K9 BASIC / K9 FLASH colour separator is used for the colour separation of cullets and CSP separation from a grain size of 2 mm. It is mainly used for quality improvement in the recycling of fine glass, hollow glass, and flat glass in a predominantly single-coloured cullet flow, e.g. in white or brown glass enrichment. In addition, the colour separator also offers the option of obtaining high-quality single-colour fractions from mixtures of differently coloured shards. K9 FLASH also detects heat-resistant and/or leaded special glass types. Technology: Using high-performance CCD monochrome or colour cameras and temperature-stable quick-acting valves with up to 500 switching operations / sec. these separators generate high-quality single-colour bulk material fractions even in case of colour contaminations in a two-digit percentage range. The operating software was developed with particular emphasis on making the software as easy to use and as clearly structured as possible. K9 systems feature the so-called "Auto- Learn Mode" that allows the user to program the system for the respective sorting task simply by feeding the material fractions that should be separated. K9 FLASH analyses information in different light wavelength ranges. The combination of different light types allows the identification of foreign colours, CSP, as well as heat-resistant and leaded special glasses, which are then reliably and efficiently separated by air-blast nozzles that respond with millisecond accuracy.
