SOIL SORTING SYSTEM

摘要

A sorting system for use with a feed material. The system includes a detector system, a control system, a diversion system, and a material transport mechanism. The material transport mechanism is configured to transport the feed material to the diversion system past the detector system. The detector system is operable to detect a level of a contaminant in the feed material transported past the detector system and transmit a signal to the control system indicating the level. The control system is operable to instruct the diversion system to deposit the feed material in a first area when the level exceeds predefined release criteria, and to deposit the feed material in a second area when the level does not exceed predefined release criteria. The feed material may include soil, concrete rubble, masonry rubble, ore, ash, metallic shapes, metallic scraps, and vegetable matter.

1. A system for use with a feed material, the system comprising:
a detector system; a control system connected to the detector system; a diversion system connected to the control system; and a material transport mechanism configured to transport the feed material past the detector system and to the diversion system, the detector system being operable to detect a level of a contaminant in the feed material transported past the detector system by the material transport mechanism and transmit a signal to the control system indicating the level, the control system being operable to instruct the diversion system to deposit the feed material in a first area when the level exceeds predefined release criteria, the control system being further operable to instruct the diversion system to deposit the feed material in a second area when the level does not exceed predefined release criteria.
