SORTING SYSTEM

摘要

A sorting system (4) for separating metals from pionmetals in an automobile recycling process. The system includes a belt conveyor (10), a sensor assembly (20) under the conveyor, a deflector assembly at the end of the conveyor, and a microprocessor (40) for controlling the deflector assembly (30) in response to the sensor assembly (20). The sensor assembly (30) includes a plurality of sensors arranged transversely across the conveyor and each capable of detecting metal. The microprocessor generates selectively actuates fingers in the deflector assembly (34, 35) to deflect the metals from the material stream.
