Abstract

Bei einem Verfahren zum spektralbasierten Sortieren transparenter und semitransparenter Schüttgüter (8), wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Schüttgüter (8) in einem Materialstrom zwischen einer Beleuchtungseinheit (2) und einem Sensor (1) hindurchbewegt werden, dass mit der Beleuchtungseinheit (2) eine Beleuchtung mit vorgebbaren Wellenlängen zeitlich oder örtlich diskret durchgeführt wird, dass mit dem Sensor (1) Transmissionssignale aufgenommen werden, dass die Transmissionssignale ausgewertet und die Schüttgüter (8) gemäß der Auswertung sortiert werden.

In a method for the spectral-based sorting of transparent and semitransparent bulk materials (8), it is proposed that the bulk materials (8) are moved through in a material flow between a lighting unit (2) and a sensor (1), that the lighting unit (2) is illuminated is performed discretely temporally or locally with predetermined wavelengths, that with the sensor (1) transmission signals are recorded, that the transmission signals are evaluated and the bulk materials (8) are sorted according to the evaluation.
