laboratory sorting unit

Multichannel scanning system from Comex
(MSX series) provides a wide range of test
possibilities to characterise and separate
different materials. The main function is to
characterise analysed particles in terms of their
properties like colour, size, shape, texture,
density, etc. The scanning results can easily be
used to find differences between the particles
and define measurement methods as well as
sensor types to identify the particles of
interests. Furthermore, the defined
identification methods can be used to separate
such particles into two separate fractions. This
information can further be used for industrial
scale sorting systems.

The MSX scanning system consists of
different sensor types installed at the
transport belt, where the particles are
transported one by one during operation.
The particles are transported and analysed by
different sensors including: magnetic sensor,
UV light source and camera, IR light source
and camera, visible light source and camera,
X-ray source and detector array and 3D
camera identifying the vertical dimension of the
analysed particles.
