Product Introduction
Features of APEX Double-Layer Belt Sorter
The Model DL double-layer belt sorter is custom-developed for large-volume, high-throughput industrial grain processing. It features an independent dual-layer belt layout that forms two separate sorting stations to implement secondary deep precision screening for bulk grain raw materials.
1. Dual-layer staged purification process
Raw grains first go through preliminary impurity separation on the first conveyor belt. The preliminarily screened materials are then delivered to the second sorting station for intensive re-inspection, thoroughly clearing micro residual impurities and omitted defective grains that single-layer sorting equipment cannot completely filter out.
2. Massive throughput for heavy-duty continuous production
Dual-path synchronous optical detection significantly boosts hourly processing capacity and full material inspection coverage. This design reliably satisfies long-duration, high-load running requirements of large centralized grain processing production lines.
3. Wide compatibility for full-spectrum grain varieties
It supports mass purification for mainstream grain varieties including rice, assorted beans, crop seeds, dried fruits and commercial coffee beans, enabling unified standardized bulk processing for diversified grain materials.
Model DL double-layer belt sorting equipment empowers large grain manufacturers to realize high-efficiency, high-purity standardized mass production, steadily lifting finished product qualification rate and overall factory operational efficiency.
Working Principle of APEX Double-Layer Belt Sorter

Step 1: Lossless Belt Feeding & Primary Sorting
Mixed grain raw materials fall into the feeding hopper and are uniformly distributed onto the first-layer horizontal conveyor belt by the feeding vibrator. The upper CCD detection module identifies and removes large impurities and obvious defective grains at the first sorting station. Severely defective materials are directly ejected into the rejected product hopper, while preliminarily purified grains drop down to the second conveying belt.
Step 2: Secondary Deep Precision Screening
Materials enter the second independent sorting station along the lower belt. The second group of camera and light source system performs high-density fine scanning to capture tiny residual impurities and minor flawed grains missed in the first sorting. Slightly defective grains are blown into the recycle hopper for reprocessing.
Step 3: High-purity Finished Product Collection
Grains passing two rounds of optical inspection are stably conveyed to the outlet and fall into the accepted product hopper. The two-stage belt sorting mode achieves thorough grain purification, adapts to high-volume continuous production of large grain processing plants, and avoids grain breakage during the whole conveying process.

Performance Comparison

Sorting Performance for Bulk Chinese Herbal Medicines
- Qualified Finished Herbs: Complete texture, uniform natural color, free of mildew, oxidation discoloration and broken fragments. The lossless belt conveying avoids fragmentation of brittle herbal slices and granular medicinal materials in mass continuous production.
- Rejected Defective Materials: Moldy pieces, rotten residues, stained fragments and foreign impurities are firstly intercepted by the first-layer sorting station; subtle residual flaws that escape primary screening are completely eliminated by secondary high-precision detection on the second belt.
DL double-layer staged purification greatly improves the finished product purity of bulk Chinese herbal medicine processing, effectively lifting the qualification rate for large-scale medicinal material deep processing manufacturers.
Applicable Sorting Materials
Supported by independent double-layer belt sorting stations, the DL sorter performs primary rough impurity removal plus secondary precise fine screening, specially developed for mass raw material pretreatment in large processing factories.
- Bulk Grain Products
Rice, assorted beans, grain seeds, dried fruits, coffee beans and other conventional granular agricultural commodities. Dual-channel synchronous detection raises hourly processing capacity to satisfy long-term high-load assembly line production demands for grain deep-processing enterprises. - Various Chinese Medicinal Materials
Ginseng slices, astragalus, poria cocos, alisma orientale, coptis root, cape jasmine fruit, peach kernels, lily bulbs and other sliced & granular herbal raw materials. Soft belt transportation prevents brittle herbal pieces from cracking, while secondary screening thoroughly clears residual moldy scraps, discolored fragments and mixed foreign impurities left after primary sorting.
FAQS
-
How much hourly throughput improvement can the double-layer structure bring compared with the single-layer L model?
Two independent parallel sorting stations greatly lift the overall hourly handling capacity. While boosting processing volume, the upper belt performs preliminary impurity removal, and the lower layer implements secondary refined screening to thoroughly clear micro defective particles that escape single-layer sorting.
-
Is the DL model available for 24-hour uninterrupted mass production of industrial grains?
The whole machine adopts a thickened reinforced frame and anti-blocking vibratory feeding structure, with heat-resistant long-life conveying belts. It is structurally optimized to match long-cycle continuous operation requirements of large-scale grain processing plants and milling bases.
-
Does the double-layer belt design bring more complex daily maintenance work than single-layer equipment?
The disassembly and cleaning workflow of the double-layer structure is basically consistent with single-layer products. Operators only need to add a simple belt deviation check during weekly routine maintenance, which will not increase extra daily labor costs and maintenance difficulty.
-
Is the DL sorter capable of one-time sorting of beans and seeds with uneven particle sizes?
Equipped with a self-adaptive layered feeding mechanism, the equipment can automatically disperse mixed materials of different particle sizes evenly into the upper and lower sorting channels, realizing stable sorting for multi-specification mixed grain raw materials.
