Peanuts that are plump and visually appealing are far more likely to entice buyers. Conversely, defective peanuts such as incomplete or mouldy ones not only lower the product's appeal but may also pose a threat to health and safety. Therefore, efficiently and accurately removing these defective peanuts has become a significant challenge in the peanut processing industry. By understanding customer needs and continually innovating, we have made groundbreaking progress in peanut sorting technology, offering more comprehensive sorting solutions to meet the diverse processing demands of the market.   Although peanuts with cracks, holes, or breaks do not affect the quality of the nut itself, their appearance does lower their perceived value, making it difficult to command a good price. Many peanut processing plants have added a crack machine to their production lines, mixing iron filings into the cracks through stirring, and then using electromagnetic devices to remove them. This increases operational costs and introduces the risk of iron filings and other impurities entering the final product. To meet our customers' needs, we decided to empower the industry's development with cutting-edge AI deep learning technology. Given the diverse shapes of peanuts, a large amount of data labelling and significant computational resources are required to drive the process. However, we have long understood the trends in pattern recognition and artificial intelligence, and, based on years of data accumulation, we have established the industry's first large-scale sample and model libraries.   As early as 2016, our peanut sorting machine were equipped with internet service functionality, with tens of thousands of globally connected devices generating massive amounts of sample data daily, enabling rapid iteration of deep learning models for our peanut sortex machine. With this wealth of technical resources, we quickly developed a crack sorting solution, allowing our customers to dispense with crack machines, thereby saving on equipment and maintenance costs, reducing processing steps, and improving efficiency.    In addition to cracks, our new generation of groundnut sortex machine can also sort peanuts with localised mould issues caused by moisture, such as black tips or damp spots. In recent years, extreme weather conditions have led to the emergence of issues like frozen kernels and sprouted kernels, which have become key factors affecting peanut quality and price. Due to the limitations in recognition accuracy, many peanut optical sorting machines on the market are unable to effectively sort these defects, forcing processing plants to carry out manual re-sorting after the colour sorter, which is both inefficient and ineffective.   Our new generation of products is equipped with the UHD2.0 high-definition, high-performance deep learning system, effectively solving this long-standing industry problem. Utilising ultra-clear imaging technology, ...

In the vast arena of pipeline manufacturing, recycled polyethylene (PE) is undoubtedly the star material in the spotlight. Its excellent performance, low cost, excellent processability and flexibility, impact resistance, aging resistance, corrosion resistance, and good electrical insulation make PE shine in many key areas such as water recycling, agricultural irrigation, and electrical insulation, making it a favorite in the piping industry!   However, to ensure that these pipes made from recycled PE can operate stably for a long period of time without performance degradation or safety hazards, the crucial prerequisite is the purity of the raw material. When PE crushed material is mixed with polypropylene (PP) or other impurities, the overall performance of the material will be greatly reduced, tensile strength, impact strength and other key indicators dropped significantly, directly affecting the service life and safety of the pipe.   In the face of this purity problem, although the traditional sorting methods can distinguish PP, PE and other impurities to a certain extent, their efficiency and purity are often unsatisfactory. Especially in the treatment of miscellaneous materials such as a wide variety of materials with complex characteristics, manual front-end picking combined with brine, water flotation of the classic process appears to be incompetent, difficult to meet the modern production of high-efficiency and high purity of the double demand.   Therefore, it is necessary to explore more efficient and intelligent sorting solutions to make up for the shortcomings of the existing process.
