Color Separator Industry Development Overview

1、Definition and equipment process

Color sorter is based on the differences in the optical properties of materials, the use of photoelectric detection technology to automatically sort out the particles in the granular material of foreign color particles in the equipment, is a collection of optical, mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, magnetic in one of the high-tech products, can effectively achieve the rejection of foreign objects and grade classification, is to protect the safety and quality of agricultural products, and to enhance the value-added agricultural products of the key equipment.

2、Working Principle

Color sorter can be divided into channel-type sorting equipment and track-type sorting equipment, the difference between the two is mainly channel-type sorting equipment than track-type sorting equipment optical and electrical system is more complex, can be faster to deal with a larger amount of sorting work. The working principle is mainly based on the light source irradiated to the material to be selected after the production of different reflective properties, and compared with the background plate to provide the basic signal, the difference in signal amplification, when the signal is greater than the threshold value indicates that the product is unqualified, and then through the sensor to the light signal into an electrical signal, drive the jet with compressed air blowing out the particles of a different color, color sorting.

Color sorter industry development status

According to the color to sort the equipment originated in the 1930s and 1940s in the United States, by the ESM company and Sortex was the first to develop a color sorter for rice, the current market supply of color sorters, rice color sorters accounted for more than 80%. In recent years, the global color sorter maintains steady growth, and the global color sorter market size reached USD 2,659 million in 2021, with a CAGR of 5.47% since 2014.

Currently, Asia is the largest color sorter market in the world, with a market size of 48.18% in 2021. As a major global producer and consumer of agricultural products, China has become the country with the largest demand for color sorters market. In addition to China, emerging regions such as Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America are also regions with fast-growing demand for color sorters.

Market Scale

Color sorter set of light, machine, electricity, gas and other high-tech in one, relative to the traditional agricultural machinery, belongs to the category of highly sophisticated products, has been deeply applied to all kinds of agricultural products processing, and the people's daily life is closely related. Benefit from the food safety policy code, consumption upgrading and import substitution trend, China's color sorter industry market size continues to rise, China's color sorter market size of 5.826 billion yuan in 2021, an increase of 5.22% year-on-year.

Production and Demand

China's population base is huge, crop planting area is wide, with the rapid development of the food processing industry, the gradual increase in population, food demand is expanding, thus advancing the gradual rise in China's demand for color sorters. Data show that in 2021, China's color sorter production reached 51,114 units, an increase of 4,851 units over 2020; demand reached 41,410 units, an increase of 2,442 units over 2020.
