How does a color sorter work?

A color sorter used in the job of a color sorter operator works by using sensors, such as cameras or spectrometers, to detect the color of objects passing through the machine. When a defect or unwanted color is identified, the machine uses air jets or mechanical means to separate the items accordingly, ensuring only the desired products are collected. Operators need to understand the machine's settings and calibration to maintain accuracy and efficiency.
