CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The reference sorting speed is 60–120 pieces per minute. However, higher speeds may reduce accuracy, so the actual achievable speed depends on the specific model, item characteristics, and sensor configuration. Always confirm the rated speed with the manufacturer for your application.
The mechanism is typically made of stainless steel (grades 304–316L), aluminum alloy, and engineering plastics such as POM or nylon. The choice of material depends on the application; for example, 316L stainless steel is recommended for corrosive or food-grade environments. Verify the material specification with the supplier.
The unit operates on a three-phase AC supply of 220–380 V, referencing IEC 60038. Power consumption ranges from 1.5 to 5.5 kW, depending on the number of sorting lanes and actuators. Ensure your facility's electrical supply matches the model's requirements.
The operating temperature range is -10°C to 50°C, per IEC 60068-2-1/2. Below -10°C, pneumatic components may be affected. The ingress protection rating is IP54 to IP65 (IEC 60529), with IP65 suitable for dusty or wet environments. Confirm the specific rating for your model.
