APEX Plastic Flake CCD Vision Color Sorter for Waste Recycling

APEX Plastic Color Sorter Features

The PT plastic color sorter is a cost-effective entry-level vertical sorting device, specially designed for low-threshold, basic purification of recycled plastic flakes and small plastic particles. Unlike belt-type machines that target whole plastic bottles, this vertical drop sorting equipment is exclusively tailored for lightweight fragmented and granular plastic materials, perfectly fitting small-scale recycling workshops and conventional plastic regeneration production lines. It focuses on solving basic heterochromatic impurity and color classification problems in daily plastic flake recycling, with mature and reliable core performance and practical application advantages:

1. Exclusive vertical structure for plastic flakes and particles

Adopting a professional vertical free-fall sorting design, the machine is perfectly adapted to lightweight, easy-flying plastic flakes and tiny plastic particles that cannot be stably processed by belt-type whole-bottle sorters. It supports mainstream plastic materials including PET, PP and PE, covering most basic recycled plastic flake and particle processing scenarios for universal color sorting and purification.

2. Accurate basic color impurity removal

Equipped with industrial standard high-definition CCD visual detection system, it delivers stable and reliable color discrimination capability. It can effectively identify and remove various common defective materials in plastic flakes and particles, including yellowed fragments, black-spotted impurities, surface-stained scraps and faded heterochromatic particles, realizing standardized basic quality improvement of recycled plastic raw materials.

3. Stable anti-floating and anti-blockage operation

Optimized according to the physical characteristics of light plastic flakes, the professional feeding structure achieves uniform material dispersion. It effectively avoids material floating, accumulation and blockage during long-term continuous operation, prevents missing detection caused by uneven feeding, and maintains long-term stable and consistent sorting accuracy.

4. Ultra-high cost performance for basic recycling scenarios

Featuring a simple, mature and durable mechanical structure, the equipment has low energy consumption, low failure rate and negligible daily maintenance costs. It requires only simple parameter debugging and basic manual operation, with extremely low investment and operation thresholds, fully meeting the stable production needs of small and medium-sized conventional plastic recycling projects.

Serving as the foundational entry-level vertical sorting equipment in the plastic sorter series, the PT plastic sorter is widely applicable to small recycling workshops, mini plastic flake regeneration lines and conventional plastic particle primary purification projects. With exclusive flake-and-particle sorting design, stable basic purification performance and ultra-low operating cost, it provides the most cost-effective and reliable standardized sorting solution for daily basic plastic resource recycling.

Working Principle-How does it work?

PT Series Plastic Color Sorter Working Principle
Vertical color sorting system with color CCD, designed for basic color-based separation of plastic flakes.

Step-by-Step Sorting Workflow:

1. Plastic flakes enter the vertical anti-floating hopper.
2. Vibration feeder ensures even and smooth falling.
3. Color CCD system detects color differences and discoloration.
4. The system identifies yellowed, stained, and aged plastic flakes.
5. High-speed nozzles blow out impurities.
6. Qualified plastic flakes enter the finished product hopper.
