Sensor Technology

The technology provides top efficiency, precision and speed. Not even the smallest particle sizes evade the intelligent system, even though it works much faster than traditional sorting technologies.

Regardless of whether diamond, gold, limestone or coal, the sensors recognize the target material on the basis of typical characteristics such as color, atomic density, transparency or conductivity. The range of different advanced recognition technologies offer the best suited sensor combination for any type of ore. The valuable mineral bearing rock is then selectively extracted using a precise pulse of pressurized air from the high performance nozzle system, regardless of whether it is a small diamond or a heavy lump of ore.

The material running through the sorting process is heavy, dusty and abrasive. High demands on the technology on all fronts: Material handling, recognition and pressurized air ejection are combined by CommodasUltrasort in a robust and tested system which reliably separates valuable mineral ores from waste rock.
