What is a Chute Color Sorter
The chute color sorter is composed of a hopper, a chute, a photoelectric sensor and an air blowing device. The material flows evenly into the chute from the hopper, and the photoelectric sensor detects the material, and when the color of the material is inconsistent with the set color threshold, the photoelectric sensor will send a signal to blow the material out of the chute.
What is a Belt-Type Color Sorter
The belt type color sorter is composed of a hopper, a belt, a photoelectric sensor and a fan. The material flows evenly from the hopper onto the belt, which makes the material move in a certain direction. The photoelectric sensor detects the material, and when the color of the material is inconsistent with the set color threshold, the material will be blown to the other side of the belt by the fan.

Major Differences Between Chute & Belt Color Sorting Machine
Working Principles
The chute type color sorter directly detects the material through a photoelectric sensor, while the belt type color sorter blows the material out of the belt through a fan and then detects it.
Sorting Applications
Chute sorters are suitable for materials of various shapes, sizes, densities and fluidity, including fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, ores, etc. The belt type optical sorter is suitable for materials with uniform shape, size and density, and is not suitable for materials with poor fluidity.
Advantages & Disadvante
The advantages of the chute color sorter are a wide range of applications, high sorting accuracy and simple operation. The disadvantage is that the equipment is large in size and occupies a large area. The advantages of belt type optical sorter are small size, small footprint and high sorting accuracy. The disadvantage is that the scope of application is narrow, and it is not suitable for materials with poor fluidity.
