Material Handling Components for Optical Sorting System
ICS-CONTEC Manufactures Conveyor Technology for 3U Vision Fx2 System
ICS-CONTEC Maschinenbau GmbH has designed and manufactured the material handling components for an optical sorting system. The customer had selected the Fx2 sorting system from 3U Vision and commissioned us to develop the required conveyor technology components.
Project Scope
Customer System Selection: The customer chose the Fx2 sorting system from 3U Vision and handled its procurement and configuration.
ICS-CONTEC Services:
- Drag-chain bunker for storage and metered discharge of difficult-to-handle bulk materials
- Belt conveyors for material transport from bunker to sorting system
- Discharge conveyors for removal of two fractions from the sorting system
- System integration for seamless integration of all components
The 3U Vision Fx2 Sorting System
The customer-selected Fx2 system utilises a 4-wavelength multispectral system with RGB and IR in a 4K sensor. This technology enables precise detection of defects and foreign bodies, even in similarly coloured products. The system operates with high-resolution SWIR cameras and can simultaneously use up to 8 frequencies.
Additional features:
- Automatic air pressure regulation
- Ejectors with 3.2mm pitch for high speed
- User-friendly programming without technician intervention
- Integrated remote maintenance
Special Machine Building Expertise
The project demonstrates our competence in designing and manufacturing material handling components for complex sorting systems. Through modular construction, we can optimally integrate various sorting systems and precisely implement customer-specific requirements.
