Global Optical Sorter Machine Market Overview, Size & Share

(MENAFN- Straits Research) Market Overview
Optical sorter machine is basically an image processing system that is done through various types of sensors and software-driven intelligence. Advancement in detection technology, valve technology, ejector duct material, and design will help in the ejection process in the upcoming years. Advancements in detection technologies are providing significant opportunities for the growth of the optical sorter market. In infrared imaging technology, infrared detectors are used for operating at a low temperature. This technology helps in optical sorting and reduce the processing time. A 2015 article from Food Engineering magazine credits the development of hyperspectral sensors and near-infrared (NIR) technology with driving the increased precision of detection. The article cites that, in recent years, high-speed camera technology has increased inspection capacity up to 7 meters per second, while resolutions as low as 0.09mm allow for unprecedented levels of defect detection.
Segmental Insights
Global Optical Sorter Machine market has been segmented majorly on the basis of type, platform, application, and region.
On the basis of type the market is segmented as camera, laser, NIR, hyperspectral cameras and combined sorter. Lenses optical sorter machine helps to inspect thread damage, features or surface defects in the production line. NIR (Near Infrared) is an optical sorting technology that enables plastic packaging and other plastic wastes to be separated by polymer type. Effective and valid NIR sorting operations are useful for producing high purity segregated polymer streams and achieving maximum market value for products.
By Platform the market is segmented as belt sorter, free-fall, lane, and hybrid. Free fall optical sorter machine is useful to meet the high requirements of the food industry and individual processors for safe and excellent quality food by removing any unwanted discolorations, foreign material and deformed products.
By Application the market is segmented as food, recycling, mining, and others. Optical sorting machine helps to achieve the highest standard for both safety and quality of food. Optical sorters are widely used in food applications to sort food products such as dry and packaged food items, vegetables and fruits; dried fruits and nuts; and cereals, grains, and pulses influencing the market growth in the segment.
