Chute Color Sorters
Review this route when the material can be metered into channels and maintains a consistent free-flowing presentation.

COLOR SORTER SELECTION
Which color sorter fits your material and production line?
The first decision is not a model number. Start with the material, the defects or foreign material to remove, how the product feeds and the conditions of normal production.
CHUTE VS BELT
Choose the material presentation route first.
Chute and belt machines are different conveying platforms. Neither route is automatically better; the useful comparison is how consistently each one can present the real material for the required separation.
Belt Color Sorters
Review this route when controlled conveyor presentation needs consideration for fragile, irregular or less free-flowing material.

Existing series remain organised under their platform pages: Chute — H Series and M Series; Belt — LD Series, CT / DCT Series and AT / DAT Series. Series review follows the platform decision.
6 SELECTION INPUTS
Build one clear brief before comparing machines.
These six inputs replace separate selection, process and sizing checklists. Together they give the technical discussion a consistent starting point.
- 01
Material
Product name, form, size range and normal variation.
- 02
Defects / foreign material
What must be removed and whether it is visibly distinct.
- 03
Material behaviour / feed condition
How the product flows, overlaps, bridges or changes during feeding.
- 04
Normal throughput
The sustained production requirement under usual conditions.
- 05
Accepted-product / reject requirement
What should remain and what the reject stream needs to show.
- 06
Line / utility conditions
Relevant feeding, power, compressed air, discharge and space information.
UNDERSTAND YOUR MATERIAL
Use the application to define the real defect problem.
Material category helps organise the discussion. The final route still depends on the representative feed, target defects and normal operating conditions.
01
Rice
Define visible kernel defects and foreign material against the accepted product.

02
Coffee
State the bean condition, target defects and accepted-product requirement.
View application
03
Grains & Beans
Review crop variation, contamination and how consistently the material feeds.
View application
04
Seeds
Describe size variation, off-color material and visible impurities.
View application
05
Nuts
Consider visible damage, shell, fragility and stable material presentation.
View applicationVERIFY BEFORE FINAL SELECTION
Use the actual material to test the selection logic.
Paper selection narrows the route. A representative test then lets the feed, accepted product and reject stream be reviewed together under recorded test conditions.
Review Sample TestingFeed
Record the representative starting condition.
Accepted Product
Review the result against the agreed requirement.
Reject
Check removed defects together with saleable product.
Overflow / Carryover
Observe what moves between the accepted and reject streams.
Test Conditions
Keep the comparison tied to the conditions used for the run.
LINE READINESS
Check the production line around the sorter.
The machine is one part of the operating line. Prepare the relevant site information before a configuration is finalised.

BUYER FAQ
Four questions before choosing a machine.
Should I choose a chute or belt color sorter?
Compare how the real material flows and how consistently each platform can present it. Confirm the route with representative material.
What information is needed before recommending a machine?
Provide the six selection inputs above, supported by clear sample photos or representative material where possible.
Can one machine sort different materials?
Possibly, but each material must be reviewed separately because feeding, presentation and separation targets can change.
What should a representative sample test show?
It should show the feed, accepted product, reject and carryover together with the conditions used for the test.
