Color Sorting Machine Bottle Sorting (COLORPLUS)

The NRT ColorPlus™ Imaging System is an advanced image processing system

Designed to target and sort materials based on color analysis and sophisticated Object recognition.

Powerful high-speed processors and proprietary recognition algorithms analyze color, transparency, opacity, and object boundaries including opaque analysis and label recognition for precise object targeting.

Technology

In-Flight Sorting enables use of transmissive detection for robust signal

RGB line scan camera scans 5, 000 times/second to analyze VIS color with up to 2048 pixel resolution

Object-tracking algorithm scans boundaries to define valid areas ejection point

Operator-friendly color touch-screen graphic control panel

Applications

Remove opaque PET, metal cans and other opaque objects from PET stream

Sort operator-selected colored PET bottles from clear PET

Sort blue bottles from clear bottles without label error

Sort full sleeve bottles from non-labeled bottles
