Cyclops wood optical sorters are high-performance optical sorting machines specifically designed for the automatic sorting and cleaning of recycled wood. Using advanced optical detection technology combined with high-speed compressed-air ejection, this wood optical sorter efficiently removes contaminants from wood waste streams, improving the quality of the final material.
The optical sorters accurately identifies and separates plastics, rubber, foam, metals, inert materials and other unwanted contaminants from recycled wood. To maximize detection accuracy, the inspection area is positioned outside the belt conveyor on a white background or, alternatively, in a free-fall configuration inside a dedicated black box. A high-intensity illumination system enhances object visibility, while high-resolution cameras analyses the reflected light to distinguish different materials and trigger precise air-nozzle ejection.
Designed for recycling plants and panelboard manufacturers, the wood optical sorter delivers high sorting efficiency, increased material purity and improved downstream process performance. It is the ideal optical sorting solution for wood recycling applications where productivity, accuracy and consistent material quality are essential.
