Tribo sorter and bouncy sorter are two types of sorting machines used in the electronic sorting industry.
The tribo sorter is a type of sorting machine which employs the principle of friction to separate materials, such as paper, plastics, and metals. It uses an endless belt which is coated with a frictional material or elastomer. The items to be sorted are placed on the belt and moved along. As they move down the belt, they come in contact with the frictional surface and become separated as a result of the friction.
The advantage of a tribo sorter is that it can be used in a wide variety of applications. It can sort items quickly and accurately, without damaging them, and without the need for special tools. In addition, it is usually the most cost effective sorting solution for a wide range of sorting requirements.
In contrast, the bouncy sorter is a type of sorting machine which is designed to operate using a bouncing effect. It uses two plates which are suspended on springs. These two plates move back and forth as items are placed onto them. The movement is designed to cause small items to bounce off the plates and be caught in a catching system.
Bouncy sorters are usually best for small items, such as tiny coins and screws. As items move down the bouncing plates, they become separated, enabling them to be sorted into the desired categories quickly and accurately. By adjusting the tension of the springs, the machine can be adjusted to handle different items, such as coins and jewelry. In addition, bouncy sorters are generally inexpensive and easy to maintain.
Both tribo and bouncy sorters have advantages and disadvantages. For certain applications, one type of sorter may be better suited than the other. Tribo sorters are capable of sorting large amounts of items quickly and accurately, while bouncy sorters are ideal for small items. In addition, bouncy sorters are generally more cost effective. In the end, the best type of sorter for a particular application will depend upon the items being sorted and the requirements of the sorting process.
