MULTIPORT EJECTOR FOR USE WITH SORTER

摘要

A non-air fluid-based ejector utilizing an actuator-port assembly for use in a sorting machine is disclosed. The ejector has at least 20 dispersion ports per inch, each dispersion port associated with a fluid chamber containing a piezoelectric crystal which dispersed fluid upon receipt of an activation signal based on predetermined criteria compared to data received from an imaging device. The ejector may comprise an array of such ports and be activated to dispense fluid sized to the specific shape characteristics of the selected product.
