Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2012172573A2] A system (100) for segregating diamonds includes a feeder assembly (102), a camera (302a), a lighting system (302b) and a rotary and binning mechanism (202). The feeder assembly (102) has a vibratory bowl (103). The vibratory bowl (103) is connected to a vibrator mechanism (not shown). The vibrator mechanism is adapted to vibrate the bowl (103). The vibratory bowl (103) is essentially a container adapted to receive diamonds therein. The feeder assembly (102) has a linear feeder (105) which connects the vibratory bowl (103) and the rotary and binning mechanism (202). A camera (302a) and a lighting system (302b) are provided near the second end (105b) of the linear feeder (105). A process for segregating the diamonds by using the system (100) include obtaining the user requirement and electronically storing the user requirement in a guide card which is fed into a computer (402) connected to system (100) for segregation.
