How much does a color sorter cost in 2022?

This is a more complicated question, just like you want to know what a home is worth. You need to clarify a series of questions such as the location, structure, and age of the house before you can judge its value of the house. The same is true for color sorters.

So the answer about the price of the color sorter is 8000$ to 200000$.

If you are about to buy a color sorter, I believe you must have a clear understanding of your needs. You must know 2 things.what kind of materials you want to process;and what your daily or weekly processing volume is. This will determine the type of color sorter you choose. Let's take rice sorting as an example.

John has a rice processing plant, and he wants to remove heterochromatic grains and other impurities from the rice. The factory processes 20 tons of rice every day, and the impurity content in the finished product is less than 0.1%. According to the working hours of 8 hours a day, he needs a machine with a processing capacity of about 2.5 tons per hour, so the 2 chute type optical sorter can meet his requirements. The cereal chute color sorter is the most mature model on the market, and the general price is about 12,000$ to 30,000$.

It can be seen that the price range at this time is still huge. Why? actually, the price of the color sorter roughly includes the following two parts:

1. The hardware cost of the equipment

such as mechanical structure, camera lens, human-computer interaction equipment, power supply, chip, etc. Due to the impact of global raw material price increases and chip shortages, this part of the cost is estimated to account for about 50-60% of the total cost. For extremely low-priced products, low-performance or refurbished parts may be used to reduce costs, which can easily lead to unstable equipment operation.

2. Equipment installation and after-sales maintenance costs.

For most customers, the use of color sorters is not easy, although various color sorter manufacturers are working hard to lower the entry threshold for color sorters. When there is a problem with the equipment, even in the face of a very small problem, customer hopes that a technical engineer will come to the door to solve the problem, which is also a relatively large expenditure for the manufacturer. There is an interesting phenomenon, the price difference of the same type of equipment in developed and developing countries can reach 30% or even higher, which is caused by the difference in labor costs.

In a hurry? Here are the best grain color sorter in 2022!

I researched and wrote a table to ensure you know how much you need to spend on color sorter machine for grain sorting work.

Below are three three-lane machines with a normal throughput of about 3-4 tons per hour (estimated based on rice). Grain is the most mature screening direction in the field of color sorters. The following three products all have good rejection rates (up to 99.99%). The differences between them lie in HMI interaction, ease of routine maintenance, and additional functionality.

For example, GroTech's RGB Light supports tens of millions of light color definitions, and Meyer's Smart CheckUP performs better in machine fault alarms.Buhler SORTX SmartEject™ technology will Make sure to remove all the bad material as much as possible.So choose the product that suits you according to your budget. Don't waste a penny.
