Chute Color Sorter Machine for Grains, Beans, Seeds

The color sorter machine utilizes optical technology to separate discolored and defective particles from high-quality products. Foodline develops the chute color sorter that uses a sloped chute, CCD cameras, LED light, and high-speed air ejectors to sort granular materials at high speed. This type is suitable for rice, grains, beans, seeds, and other free-flowing materials with suitable size and shape. Looking for a chute-type color sorter for your production line?

Working Principle of Chute Color Sorting Machine

The chute type color sorter machine identifies unwanted particles by detecting differences in color and optical properties. The sorting process consists of four main steps:

1. Uniform Feeding: A vibrating feeder spreads the material into a uniform layer. The particles then slide down the inclined chute under the force of gravity.

2. Optical Detection: As the material leaves the chute, CCD cameras capture images of the particles within the detection zone. LED light sources ensure clear imaging of each particle.

3. Image Recognition: The control system compares the detected color and shape data against preset sorting criteria to identify discolored particles, defective items, and other impurities.

4. Air-Jet Ejection: High-speed solenoid valves release short air jets at target particles. Rejected material alters its falling path and enters the waste outlet. Accepted material follows its natural path into the product outlet.

Highlights of Our Chute Color Sorting Equipment

1. High Processing Capacity

Material slides rapidly down the chute under the force of gravity. A multi-channel design enhances processing capacity.

2. Simple Mechanical Structure

The chute-based design eliminates the need for conveyor belts, drive motors, or complex transmission systems. This simplified structure reduces the number of mechanical components and minimizes routine maintenance requirements.

3. Easy Maintenance

With few moving parts, chute color sorters avoid issues common to belt color sorters, such as belt wear or misalignment. Operators have easy access to key components for cleaning, inspection, and maintenance.

4. Compact Footprint

Major components are arranged vertically—feeder, chute, optical inspection zone, air-jet valves, and discharge outlet. This layout requires less factory floor space compared to a belt color sorter machine with a long horizontal structure.

5. Rapid Optical Sorting

CCD cameras capture high-speed images of the particles. The control system analyzes the data and triggers air-jet valves to eject substandard particles.
