Increasing the Performance of Industrial Sorting Lines
Austrian company EVK DI Kerschhaggl GmbH, a provider of sensor-based solutions for sorting and monitoring bulk material in recycling and other industries, has introduced EVK Alpha G100 CS, a real-time image-processing device with extended functionality for sorting applications.
According to the company, EVK Alpha G100 CS is a data processing platform capable of supporting multi-sensory data streams. In addition to the material classification of image data provided by hyperspectral camera EVK Helios SWIR, the device would also support the fusion of EVK Helios data with data from color cameras or inductive metal sensors, such as the EVK Abas. “The output data directly steer the ejection systems of an optical sorter system, providing increased flexibility, scalability and reduced time-to-market to manufacturers of optical sorters,” the Austrian supplier emphasized.
As underlined by the company, the EVK Alpha G100 CS processes data at a speed that allows it to pass on the relevant information in real time. “Material classes are determined and classified within a few milliseconds. Complemented by the chemometric software EVK Sqalar for application development, a powerful system for industrial applications is created, such as sorting complex plastic waste streams.”
