Profile Industries is the primary worldwide manufacturer of Innovative Sorter Technology, providing sorting solutions to the Agriculture, Agri-Food and Industrial Industries These sorters are designed exclusively to separate round product from cracked, broken or non-round material. Rotary Sorters can be used to separate and clean seeds, grain, metal powders such as tungsten, cobalt, magnesium, carbide and steel shot media, as well as glass, metal, or ceramic beads for use in the process of shot peening. Because they are capable of producing a product that is up to 100% clean, they can greatly reduce waste and consequently save large amounts of money. In addition, the process can be entirely “green”. The process of shape sorting is fairly straightforward. Material to be separated is discharged onto a banked metal flight, which is spirally wound around a central shaft. As the material flows down the banked surface, its speed increases, and centrifugal force carries it toward the outer edge of the flight. Round materials achieve a velocity sufficient to carry them over the outer edge of the flighting, but non-rounds and less dense material mixed with the rounds are unable to reach the edge. They continue to travel downward, and ultimately exit separately at the bottom. Designing and manufacturing successful sorters requires Profile Industries to utilize these basic principals of physics while taking into account the specific products being separated. We recommend that customers send samples of the materials they wish to separate to our laboratory for free testing. This helps us determine which sorter will best meet your requirements. At Profile Industries we have an absolute commitment to excellence. Contact us today to find out how we can help you to reduce waste, increase productivity and save money.
