During the sorting process, the material flow passes over the inlet chute of the sorting machine by means of a vibrating tray conveyor. One or more sensors scan the flow of material while still in the chute or under the edge of the chute during free fall. Depending on the application, the sensors include high-resolution linear CCD cameras, near-infrared sensors, and inductive metal detectors. The electronic unit analyzes the recorded data by color, shape or material and sends a signal to the air ejection unit, which removes contaminants from the material flow with millisecond precision using a jet of air.

Advantages of our chute systems:

The optimized inlet with an extended chute distributes the material evenly and ensures a higher level of throughput.
The modular design of Sesotec sorting systems allows you to combine up to three sensors to detect contaminants: a color and shape sensor, a solid metal sensor, and a near-infrared sensor that distinguishes between different types of materials.
Our systems are quick to configure and easy to operate thanks to a touchscreen display with intuitive navigation.
The intelligent SesoDesk software with Octa-Core technology enables parallel processing of sensor signals, ensuring maximum flexibility even for complex sorting tasks.
Sensors can be retrofitted without any hassle.
Our sorting systems are adapted to the individual application, designed for durability through wear protection and easy maintenance.
Sesotec’s energy-efficient systems are optimized in terms of compressed air and energy consumption.
