Fraunhofer Camera - Sorting system for bulk m

The used Fraunhofer sorting system from 2007 is ideal for removing bad parts from bulk materials such as dry and shredded plants. The system uses a color-capable line camera that scans 20 million pixels per second. This enables precise detection with a conveyor belt width of 500 mm and a speed of 2.5 m/s, with 16 pixels per mm² being recorded. The continuous display of the bulk material image shows color-coded bad parts, and the system is intuitive to operate. Defective parts are blown out approx. 100 mm behind the measuring line using air nozzles. In 2019, the system was optimized by replacing the camera, control cabinet and valve block. The system has an output of approx. 60 to 160 kg per hour, depending on the product.
