Detailed model description
The MK sorter is the most versatile belt system in our portfolio. This system is capable of sorting material in the 3-100 mm fraction. Thanks to its modular design and stainless steel construction, it is resistant to environmental conditions and contact with any materials.
The range of sorted materials includes plastics, minerals, metals, but also organic materials including food products.
It easily sorts various oversized, dirty, oily and watery products, such as frozen fruit, peas, beans, seeds, and e.g. municipal or electronic waste after shredding into milling, RDF fuel, etc. It effectively detects and sorts selected materials, removes foreign bodies or replaces manual sorting.
Thanks to its material feeding system, which consists of a large vibrating feeder and a conveyor belt, the MK sorter can sort even highly sticky materials that would clog standard gravity-fed systems. The conveyor belt also allows for better control of material feeding characteristics, and the vibrating feeder distributes the material evenly across the entire width of the belt.
About technology
Recognition technology supported by a large neural network model based on artificial intelligence accurately identifies subtle differences in color, shape, size, and structure, comprehensively improving material sorting and contaminant removal capabilities.
Double feeding ensures even distribution of sorted materials while maintaining high efficiency, which translates into very high sorting accuracy.

Training by Smartsort Company
Optimization of a sorting proces is never a one-time operation, concluded with purchase installation and commissioning of devices, but rather it is a continuous process requiring proper handling of equipment, responding to periodic changes in production conditions and market conditions, and ultimately it is also dependent on the appropriate level of personnel training.
Furthermore, modernization of an existing part of the production line or installation of a new one, with parameters closer to the optimum brings with it the possibility of change to some parameters in another section of production.
Good to know – important information
Bulk materials for which we implement our sorting systems are subject to change across individual batches delivered to the plant, either year by year, or due to sourcing from different suppliers. Assumed sorting goals may also change when there is a demand, for example, for a higher- or lower-class product. In each of these cases, a single optimization criterion remains constant: as much material as possible is to be recovered and brought to a saleable condition. Therefore, we offer audit or training services tailored to the needs of each client.
Currently available packages
Audit plan
A service engineer optimizes sorting programs for current conditions and those predicted in the production plan for the near future. This is an alternative to training plant employees to higher levels of advancement in equipment operation, limiting their duties to selecting appropriate sorting programs.
This is an excellent solution for industries where it is difficult to find suitable operators, or production employees often change positions.
Training plan
Having qualified staff to operate specialized equipment is an invaluable asset for any production plant where many different types of bulk products are sorted, they come from various sources, or production goals are subject to change.
In such cases, an employee or employees with a permanent position are usually delegated to operate the devices, for whom we can conduct training both at the employee’s plant and at our facility.
Mixed plan
Depending on individual abilities and available time, full training of independent operators handling an optical sorter can take a significant amount of time. During this period, the line’s output parameters cannot be lowered. In such situations, we suggest combining training with conducting audits at the plant.
Moreover, even proficient operators will perform better at optimizing the line’s operation during an audit, under the supervision of an experienced SmartSort engineer, even if those were to take place at a greater time interval.
