COLOR – SORTING
SEPARATION OF IMPURITIES
AVAILABLE SENSOR SYSTEMS
K9+ FLASH sensor systems* | Detection of: |
| C | COLORS and CSP |
| C-C | Improved (CSP-)detection (e.g. for differentiation of Dark-Glass from CSP) |
| X | HR (heat resistant Glass) |
| Fo | Pb (leaded Glass) |

| 1024 mm | 12 t/h | 320 [3,2 mm] | 160 [6,4 mm] |
| 1280 mm | 15 t/h | 320 [4,0 mm] | 160 [8,0 mm] |
* Depending on the amount of impurities and cullet size.
FEATURES
-
Improved sorting performance compared to free fall separators
A better distribution of the cullet is achieved by the high-speed belt conveyor. The cullet has a precisely defined speed and flight curve between detection and separation unit. A jumping or rolling of the individual cullet is almost excluded. This leads to best possible sorting results even with extremely high contaminated input material such as MRF glass.
-
Serial arrangement of several separators
By arranging several K9+ Separators in a row, a lower overall height and less steel construction is required. The direct and soft material transfer from one K9 Separator to the next saves additional feeders, belt conveyors and screening technology.
-
Highest detection accuracy even with fine glass
-
Precise separation
High-speed magnetic valves with extremely precise and fast switching times and a long working life ensure a precise separation of colors and impurities.
-
Lowest glass loss
Avoidance of false detection due to intelligent image processing algorithms.
-
Black glass detection
The optional dual-sensor system C-C improves the detection of CSP and allows e.g. a differentiation between extremely dark cullet (e.g. black glass) and CSP. The option C-C is also used for CSP detection in the fine glass fraction and other difficult sorting tasks.
-
Plastic detection
K9+ FLASH Separators can optionally be equipped with a NIR Sensor for the recognition of plastics. This also enables the detection and separation of heavy and transparent plastics such as acrylic glass and Makrolon®.
-
Suitable only for dry input material
Due to the use of a high-speed conveyor belt and the high sorting precision, the cullet must be dry (<0,3% residual moisture).
-
Modular multi-sensor system
All sensor systems for colors and impurities can optionally be integrated into a single K9+ FLASH Separator. All sensor systems can be retrofitted to the FLASH version.
As entry level separator we offer the K9+ BASIC Separator. The K9+ BASIC Separator can only be equipped with the C, M and N sensor systems and cannot be upgraded.
-
Reduction of fine grain
The drop height between individual K9+ Separators in a K9+ row is only approx. 20cm. As a result, any additional refraction of the cullet is reduced to an absolute minimum, even if several K9 Separators are installed in series.
-
Service-friendly design
Maintenance of several separators on one level possible.
