AI Multifunctional Series AI Multifunctional Chute Optical Sorter
AI-Powered Optical Sorting for Food and Recycled Materials
The Techik AI Multifunctional Chute Optical Sorter combines multispectral imaging with ultra-high-definition AI vision to sort materials by color, shape and appearance. It also identifies small impurities and defects such as mold spots, insect damage, paper scraps, hair, film fragments and dust clusters.
AI large-model technology and continuous data iteration support recognition that develops beyond basic color differences. The system combines intelligent analysis with a high-pressure, low-pulse ejector valve system for pneumatic separation of unwanted material.
Key Benefits
• High-purity sorting based on color, shape, appearance and micro-impurity differences.
• Multispectral imaging and ultra-high-definition AI vision.
• Recognition accuracy designed to improve through continuous data iteration.
• Streamlined structure and an efficient pneumatic system for material handling and sorting output.
• Industrial-grade hardware for interference resistance and stable operation in complex environments.
• IoT connectivity for remote monitoring, data analysis, online upgrades and intelligent maintenance.
Sorting Capabilities
| Sorting Need | Recognition Capability | Examples |
| Color and appearance | Identifies visual differences and defects | Mold spots and insect damage |
| Shape | Supports shape-based sorting | Material-specific shape criteria |
| Micro-impurities | Identifies small unwanted material in the product stream | Paper scraps, hair, film fragments and dust clusters |
Applications
The sorter is designed for grains, oil crops, tea, Chinese medicinal herbs, dehydrated vegetables, nuts and seeds, and recycled plastics.
• Grains and oil crops: rice, wheat, soybeans and rapeseed.
• Tea: green tea and black tea.
• Chinese medicinal herbs: astragalus and angelica.
• Dehydrated vegetables: dehydrated radish and other dried vegetable materials.
• Nuts and seeds: sunflower seeds and other nut or seed products.
• Recycled materials: recycled plastic flakes.
AI Vision and Pneumatic Sorting
1. Material enters the chute sorting zone.
2. Multispectral and ultra-high-definition cameras capture material information.
3. AI recognition analyzes color, shape, appearance, defects and micro-impurities.
4. The high-pressure, low-pulse ejector valve system removes the identified reject material.
5. Accepted material continues to the qualified-product stream.
Sorting criteria should be defined for the specific material and quality requirements. Representative samples help establish the defects and impurities to be removed and the appropriate machine configuration.
