What is the Obote DEXRT Intelligent Dry Ore Sorter?

The Obote DEXRT Intelligent Dry Ore Sorter (ETDS series) is a cutting-edge ore-sorting machine that uses dual-energy X-ray transmission (DEXRT) technology combined with AI algorithms to detect and separate valuable minerals from waste rock.

  • It operates entirely without water or chemicals, making it environmentally friendly.

  • The sorter offers high accuracy (up to 99%), strong recovery rates, and can handle a wide range of ore types and particle sizes.

  • Its benefits include higher ore grade, reduced energy and processing costs, and greener mining operations.

How the Sorting Principle Works?

Our intelligent ore sorter uses a combination of 3D imaging and dual-energy X-ray recognition to penetrate the surface of the ore and capture its internal characteristics. These digital signals are analysed to differentiate materials of varying densities, and adaptive analysis models are established to achieve precise separation through high-frequency electromagnetic valves.

The principle is based on the fact that X-rays penetrate different materials to different extents. As ore moves along the conveyor belt, X-ray beams pass through the material, and sensors beneath the belt detect differences in intensity. These variations generate unique digital images. By applying Obote Optoelectronics’ proprietary big data processing technology and advanced AI algorithms, the system identifies the type and position of each material. Even in complex sorting environments, the model automatically adjusts according to ore density, size, texture, luster, and thickness, ensuring highly accurate sorting.
