One material.
The right inspection path.
COWPIGGY matches the feed architecture, inspection method and machine scale to how your material moves, what must be removed and the output your line must deliver.

01 / Feed architecture
Choose how the material should move.
The inspection technology matters, but only after the product reaches the viewing zone in a stable, separable flow. Shape, fragility, moisture and particle size determine the starting architecture.
01 / JM
Vertical chute
For free-flowing grains, beans, seeds, kernels, seasonings and selected industrial granules.
View 12 models → 02 / DPBelt-type
For fragile, irregular, larger or less free-flowing products that benefit from supported conveying.
View 4 models → 03 / DMOre & glass
Application-specific handling for ore, glass, slag, scrap metal and selected industrial streams.
View 2 models → 04 / JTTea sorting
A layered path for colour, shape and foreign-material review in tea, botanicals and selected seaweed.
View reference system →02 / Application range
One inspection principle. Different material behaviour.
These examples indicate where a feasibility review can begin. Final suitability depends on visible defect contrast, feed stability, product protection and sample-test results.
Resource recovery
Plastics & recycling
Selected plastic flakes, pellets, wire sheath, tray material, glass and visible contamination streams.
Industrial materials
Minerals, glass & metal
Ore, quartz, feldspar, calcite, glass, slag, refractory material and selected scrap metal.
Fragile & irregular
Tea, botanicals & produce
Tea, flower materials, medicinal botanicals, dried or frozen vegetables, nuts and selected seafood.
03 / JM vertical-chute range
Scale the channel count after the material is proven.
The catalogue range moves from compact 64-channel equipment to a 768-channel platform. Published throughput below is supplier-reference data for standard japonica rice with impurity content within 2%.
Reference familyJM vertical chute
For stable free-flowing product streams where individual particles can be presented consistently to the inspection zone.

* Supplier catalogue reference based on standard japonica rice with impurity content within 2%. Final throughput, carryover and sorting performance vary with the material, defect ratio, feed condition and acceptance standard. Voltage and specifications require project confirmation.
04 / Specialist series
When gravity alone is not the right answer.
Supported conveying and specialist separation structures extend the application range to fragile, irregular and industrial materials.

* Tea capacity is a supplier reference based on green tea with 3–5% impurity content. † The catalogue wording “layer number” requires supplier confirmation before quotation. DP and DM throughput is not published in the supplied catalogue and is not estimated here.
05 / Inspection layer
Use only the sensing method the defect requires.
Advanced terminology is useful only when it resolves a measurable separation problem. The available inspection layer must be mapped to a confirmed model and sample test.
Colour, shape & surface
Configured cameras and illumination distinguish optically visible differences in colour, shape, area, texture and surface condition.
Primary starting pointMaterial contrast beyond colour
Near-infrared and selected InGaAs configurations may support differences that are difficult to separate using visible colour alone.
Selected configurationsInternal density-related differences
Single- or dual-energy X-ray belongs to a separate project review where visible imaging cannot identify the target contamination.
Project-specific optionImportant
Infrared, X-ray, cloud connectivity and remote functions are platform capabilities described in the supplier catalogue. Availability is not implied for every model and must be confirmed in the final specification.
06 / Selection path
A model table is the middle of the conversation—not the start.
- 01Define the material
Photos, video, particle range, moisture, temperature and feeding behaviour.
- 02Define accepted and reject
Send representative good product, defects and foreign material.
- 03Set the operating target
Throughput, carryover, product protection, utilities and available space.
- 04Validate the configuration
Confirm architecture, inspection layer, model scale and test criteria before quotation.
Request an optical sorting review
Send the material before choosing the model.
Share the feed, accepted product, reject examples and target output. COWPIGGY will identify the architecture and test information required next.
