X-Ray Sorters

XRT Model

The SGM XRT Model utilizes state-of-the-art X-Ray Transmission (XRT) technology to precisely identify and separate materials based on their density and atomic composition. With high dual-energy scanning for metal separation and low-energy detection for plastic sorting, this system delivers unparalleled accuracy and efficiency in resource recovery.

How X-Ray Transmission (XRT) works

  1. Material Distribution: The material to be processed is evenly spread onto a conveyor belt and transported through the X-ray scanning area.X-Ray Penetration & Absorption: The
  2. X-ray emitter (source) directs radiation through the material, while dual-energy sensors (LDA receivers) measure the residual energy after penetration.
  3. Data Processing & Material Identification: The system analyzes density variations to determine the material type, enabling precise differentiation between light and heavy metals, as well as plastics.
  4. Automated Sorting & Ejection: The software processes the collected data and triggers the pneumatic sorting mechanism, which accurately separates materials into different output streams.

The entire process is fully automated, with real-time synchronization between the sorting system and belt speed settings, ensuring maximum recovery rates and minimal losses.
