What are the installation requirements for color selection matching

Color sorter is a precision equipment used for material sorting, widely used in industries such as food, minerals, and chemicals. In order to ensure the normal operation and sorting effect of the color sorter, a series of technical requirements need to be met during the installation process. The following are detailed requirements for the installation of color sorting machines:

1. Venue requirements

The installation site of the color sorter needs to meet the following conditions:

Space requirements: The color sorter and its supporting equipment (such as vibrating feeders, elevators, dust removal equipment, etc.) require sufficient installation and operation space. It is usually required to reserve at least 1 meter of passage in front, back, left, and right of the equipment for maintenance and operation.

Ground requirements: The ground should be flat, sturdy, and able to withstand the weight of equipment (usually several hundred kilograms to several tons). It is recommended to use concrete to pour the ground and ensure that the horizontal error does not exceed ± 3mm.

Power requirements: Ensure stable power supply and voltage fluctuation range within ± 10%. It is recommended to equip independent power lines to avoid sharing circuits with other high-power devices.

2. Requirements for power and gas sources

The normal operation of the color sorter requires stable power and air sources:

Power requirements: Color sorter usually uses 220V or 380V AC power, and the specific voltage requirements are determined according to the equipment model. The power cord should comply with national standards and be equipped with leakage protection devices. It is recommended to install a voltage regulator to prevent voltage fluctuations from affecting equipment performance.

Air source requirements: The color sorter requires compressed air as a power source, with a typical air pressure requirement of 0.6~0.8MPa. The air source should be clean and dry. It is recommended to install air filters and dryers to prevent moisture and impurities from entering the equipment.

3. Installation requirements for material conveying system

Color sorting machines usually need to be used in conjunction with vibrating feeders, elevators, and other equipment. When installing, the following precautions should be taken:

Vibration feeder: Ensure smooth connection between the feeder and the color sorter, and uniform material flow. The vibration frequency and amplitude of the feeder should be adjusted according to the characteristics of the material to avoid material accumulation or blockage.

Elevator: The height and angle of the elevator should be designed reasonably to ensure that the material can be smoothly transported to the feeding port of the color sorter. The conveying speed of the hoist should match the processing capacity of the color sorter.

Conveyor belt: If a conveyor belt is used, it should be ensured that its width and speed are consistent with the requirements of the color sorter to avoid material overload or uneven distribution.

4. Installation requirements for dust removal system

The color sorter generates dust during operation, so dust removal equipment needs to be installed:

Dust collector selection: Choose a suitable dust collector based on the processing capacity and dust generation of the color sorter, such as a bag filter or a cyclone filter.

Duct layout: The diameter and length of the ducts should be designed reasonably to ensure the suction effect. Ducts should minimize bends as much as possible to avoid excessive resistance.

Location of exhaust outlet: The exhaust outlet should be far away from the equipment operation area to avoid the influence of dust on the operators.

5. Equipment installation and debugging

The installation and debugging of the color sorter are key steps to ensure the normal operation of the equipment:

Equipment fixation: The color sorter should be fixed to the ground with anchor bolts to ensure stability and avoid vibration during operation.

Horizontal calibration: Use a level to calibrate the equipment, ensuring that the horizontal error of the equipment is within the allowable range.

Electrical connection: Connect the power, gas, and signal lines correctly according to the equipment manual, ensuring that the wiring is firm and not loose.

Debugging and operation: Before formal use, perform no-load and load debugging to check the operating status, sorting effect, and parameter settings of the equipment for normal operation.

6. Safety and protection requirements

The installation and use of color sorting machines must comply with safety regulations:

Safety signs: Set up clear safety signs around the device, such as "Do not touch" and "Caution high voltage".

Protective device: The moving parts of the equipment (such as belts and chains) should be equipped with protective covers to prevent operators from accidentally touching them.

Emergency stop button: Install an emergency stop button on the equipment operation panel to ensure that the power can be quickly cut off in case of emergency.

7. Maintenance and upkeep requirements

The long-term stable operation of the color sorter relies on regular maintenance:

Cleaning and maintenance: Regularly clean the dust and impurities inside the equipment, especially in the optical system and sorting area.

Lubrication and maintenance: Regularly lubricate the moving parts of the equipment (such as bearings and chains) to ensure smooth operation.

Inspection and calibration: Regularly check the electrical connections, air source pressure, and optical system of the equipment to ensure that all parameters are normal.

8. Operator training

The operation and maintenance of the color sorter require professional personnel to:

Operation training: Train operators on equipment usage, parameter settings, and troubleshooting to ensure they are proficient in operating the equipment.

Maintenance training: Train maintenance personnel on equipment maintenance and troubleshooting to ensure long-term stable operation of the equipment.

The installation requirements of the color sorter involve multiple aspects such as site, power supply, gas source, material transportation, dust removal, debugging, and safety protection. Only by strictly following the requirements for installation and debugging can the normal operation and sorting effect of the equipment be ensured. Meanwhile, regular maintenance and upkeep are also important measures to extend the service life of equipment.
