The Guxin glass‑specific color sorter is designed for crushed‑glass recycling and recycled‑glass processing, featuring a high‑definition vision algorithm that delivers exceptional sorting accuracy. It can handle materials across the full particle size range, from 1 mm to 80 mm, and operates reliably in both dry and wet conditions, significantly enhancing the quality of the final product.

I. Product Applications:

Core positioning of the Guxin glass‑particle‑specific color sorter: purification and recycling of waste glass, refining of glass sand and aggregates, sorting of photovoltaic and electronic‑grade glass materials, production of high‑end recycled glass products, and full particle-size coverage (1–150 mm).  
1 , Recycling and reprocessing of waste glass (bottle-to-bottle / can-to-can)  
Scenario: Mixed glass from municipal solid waste and construction debris, along with mixed glass materials from recycling facilities (a blend of clear, green, brown, and blue glass, containing ceramics, stones, metals, and plastics).  
Value: Color sorting and impurity removal in a single step; accuracy ≥ 99.9%, carry‑over rate ≤ 2%, throughput of 5–50 tons per hour; post‑sorting purity meets high‑end re‑melting scrap standards, ready for direct supply to float‑glass and container‑glass plants.  
Compatibility: Suitable for all particle sizes from 1 to 150 mm; effective for particles larger than 1 cm in both dry and wet conditions; ensures stable operation in high-dust and high-humidity environments.  
2 , Refining of glass sand/glass aggregates (for building materials, terrazzo, and permeable bricks)  
Scenario: Crushed glass sand (0.1–5 mm) and glass aggregates (5–20 mm), containing foreign-colored particles, iron staining, mica, and quartz impurities.  
Value: Free from extraneous colors and impurities, with uniform color and a purity of ≥99.9%; enhances the strength, light transmittance, and aesthetic appeal of building materials, meeting the standards for high-end terrazzo, artistic panels, and permeable bricks.  
3 , Sorting of Photovoltaic/Electronic/Pharmaceutical Glass Scrap  
Scenario: Photovoltaic glass edge trimmings, electronic glass scrap, and pharmaceutical glass fragments—each requiring strict control of Fe₂O₃ content, coating residues, and discolored particles.  
Value: Precisely detects minute color and material variations; controls Fe₂O₃ content in photovoltaic glass to within ±0.003%, ensuring optimal light transmittance and minimizing kiln energy consumption; for electronic and pharmaceutical glass, removes coating residues and metallic impurities, meeting Grade A re‑grinding standards.  
4 , Sorting of flat and automotive glass waste (by composition, thickness, and coating)  
Scenario: Scrap from the dismantling of flat glass and automotive glass must be sorted by soda‑lime/silicate composition, thickness (0.5–6 mm), and coating type (AR/AG/ITO).  
Value: AI‑powered multispectral 3D recognition and automated classification; enhances the reuse rate of defective wafers, suitable for automotive glass remanufacturing and secondary processing of flat glass.  
5 , Special glass and purification of raw materials for handicrafts  
Scenario: Art glass, crystal glass, and optical glass particles contain trace impurities and color variations.  
Value: Detects micron‑scale color variations and impurities; ensures high transmittance, exceptional whiteness, and superior uniformity, meeting the stringent material requirements of high‑end crafts and optical components.
