Key Advantages

  • Full-category Grain Compatibility
  • Precise CCD-based Color Defect Elimination
  • Easy Operation & Low Running Expense

Product Introduction

The Model A vertical grain color sorter is a cost-effective entry-level vertical sorting unit, engineered for standardized purification and quality grading of all types of miscellaneous grains. Adopting industry-standard color CCD imaging technology, it handles basic color impurity separation and defective grain screening in conventional grain processing, and fully fits the low-investment, stable production needs of small processing workshops and newly-built production lines. Compatible with most mainstream agricultural grain processing applications, it comes with multiple practical core strengths as follows:

1. Full-category Grain Compatibility

This universal grain sorting machine works well with ordinary rice, edible beans, seeds, dried fruits and commercial coffee beans. It realizes integrated impurity removal for regular bulk grain processing work.

2. Precise CCD-based Color Defect Elimination

Fitted with industrial high-definition color CCD cameras, the equipment captures tiny surface color variations on grain particles. It efficiently rejects discolored kernels, black speck particles, stained impurities, immature grains and external foreign contaminants to steadily lift the purity of final grain products.

3. Easy Operation & Low Running Expense

Built with a one-touch intelligent control system and simplified robust mechanical framework, the device can be operated without professional technical training. It boasts low failure frequency and minimal daily maintenance spending, cutting the comprehensive production expenditure for small and medium grain processing manufacturers significantly.

As the basic entry-level grain sorting equipment in our lineup, the Model A vertical color sorter supplies stable, standardized purification solutions for routine grain grading and impurity removal. It enables rural processing workshops and small-scale production lines to realize standardized grain quality improvement with low upfront costs and long-term steady running performance.

Step-by-Step Sorting Workflow:

  1. Raw mixed grains mixed with defective kernels and foreign impurities are fed into the sealed vertical feeding hopper.
  2. The standard vibratory feeder evenly scatters grain materials to form a stable single-particle free-fall state falling vertically along the smooth chute channel.
  3. Standard industrial color CCD cameras capture real-time color, texture and surface feature data of each grain particle under matched steady light sources.
  4. The built-in general grain processing processor compares the captured image data with preset standard grain color databases, accurately identifying yellow kernels, moldy particles, discolored fragments and other common defective impurities in miscellaneous grains, beans and rice materials.
  5. High-speed solenoid nozzles instantly eject the screened unqualified defective particles by pulsed compressed air. Clean qualified grains naturally fall into the finished product receiving hopper to complete the whole automatic sorting purification process.

FAQS

  • What foundation and power supply specifications are required for on-site installation of Model A grain color sorter?

    The Model A economical grain sorting machine has low requirements for field installation conditions. Users only need a flat, firm and intact cement floor for equipment placement, and there is no need for extra reinforced civil engineering or special ground foundation transformation, greatly saving the site renovation cost for small rural workshops. Meanwhile, our factory supports customized voltage matching service to adapt to various local grid voltage standards in different countries and regions around the world, realizing plug-and-play power connection for overseas grain processing projects.

  • What is the recommended cycle for routine internal cleaning? Is single-person operation available for daily maintenance work?

    For daily routine upkeep, operators only need to spend around 10 minutes cleaning the feeding hopper chute and optical lens glass after each production shift to guarantee stable image acquisition quality. We recommend conducting visual inspection for solenoid nozzles every week and implementing air filter element cleaning & replacement on a monthly cycle. All regular cleaning and maintenance work is simple to operate, ordinary staff can complete the whole process independently without the presence of professional maintenance engineers.

  • How many built-in grain sorting preset programs are equipped on the touch screen control panel?

    The touch screen system of Model A vertical color sorter is pre-installed with more than 100 mature sorting parameter formulas covering common processing materials such as mung beans, red beans, various crop seeds, wheat and corn. Users can quickly switch the corresponding material program within 30 seconds when replacing processing raw materials, without repeated manual parameter debugging and calibration, effectively improving the production switching efficiency of multi-variety grain processing factories.

  • What stable working pressure of air compressor is matched with this entry-level color sorting equipment?

    Model A grain color sorter works normally under a stable compressed air pressure of 0.6–0.8 Mpa. Under conventional operating environments, users do not need to be equipped with an additional refrigerated air dryer to match the unit. The specific actual air consumption will fluctuate slightly according to different channel configurations and actual material processing throughput of the equipment.
