New distributorship for allmineral
February 2009
News
allmineral has secured the agency for SEA electronic sorting machines for sub-Saharan Africa.
Optical electronic sorters offer a fast and safe solution by comparing and detecting any product displaying non-conforming colour within preset parameters. The sorter’s optical system automatically rejects out-of-spec product with maximum precision.
“While the actual machine is a standard design and configuration, the installation itself is always seen as a customised solution for each and every sorting application,” says Udo Busch, managing director of allmineral. The installation includes the electronic sorting machine with all the ancillary equipment such as vibrating plates, feed discharge chute system, CCD cameras, identification software and ejectors.
“allmineral installed and commissioned the first SEA colour sorting machine in the diamond industry and following this identified the advantages that this type of sorting machine could bring to other industries,” Busch adds. “The machines are easy to use, offer low energy consumption and require minimum maintenance, thus adding to the efficiency of other processes.”
Busch explains that securing the agency came about as a result of the company’s philosophy of offering value-add services to the market. “We have an established track record for service in the mining and mineral beneficiation and processing sectors and we will take this level of service into other markets.”
SEA optical colour sorting machines have found applications in the glass and plastic recycling industries where they allow the sorting of plastic granules after the extrusion process. In addition, they can be used to sort rice, wheat, and other grains.
allmineral is able to offer turnkey solutions or work together with consultants, OEMs and end users to ensure that application requirements are met. “We address the specifics of each installation from a fresh perspective and the SEA equipment can be installed in green-field projects or as retrofits to existing plants,” concludes Busch.
