Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9306944A1] In the colour-sorting method proposed, the articles to be sorted are illuminated with visible, infrared or ultraviolet light from an emitter (2). If there is no article in the path of the emitter beam, all the light falls on an unreflected-light receiver (4). If, however, an article is present, part or all of the light is reflected back to one or more reflected-light receivers (6, 8).
