Sales Begin for Satake Pellet Sorter
Handles even clear or glossy plastics
Optical Seaweed Sorter
Satake's newest optical sorter, the Pellet Sorter, went on sale on April 1, 2009. Designed specifically to process plastic pellets, it is especially well suited to sorting the transparent or glossy plastics which can be difficult to process using general purpose optical sorters.
The Pellet Sorter removes irregular materials from plastic pellets at a maximum flow rate of 2.0 tons per hour. A 600mm wide belt conveys materials to the sorting section, where a line of CCD cameras rapidly determines on an individual basis if pellets are to be accepted or rejected. Rejected pellets are then removed by compressed air fired from high speed ejector valves.
The Pellet Sorter is equipped with 0.06mm resolution cameras capable of detecting even the smallest black spots. To minimize good product lost while maximizing product purity, materials that successfully pass through the upper sorting section are sorted again in the lower section (2 stage sorting style). In addition, the specially designed Pellet Sorter can accurately process clear or glossy plastics which most sorters cannot.
Satake expects to sell twenty machines per year to plastic manufacturers and recyclers.
