The sorting machine additionally includes: a platform, a chiller
~3.5kW (for cooling), a flake feeding system (by fan), suction of good
flakes and feeding into a packing cyclone + cyclone/bunker + big bag
frame with pneumatic cylinders, suction of bad flakes into a cyclone
(separate from good ones).
We sorted 1-1.3 tons/hour of sufficiently quality flakes.
