KUSTA-System

Turnkey Hyperspectral Sorting System for Industrial Applications

Ready-to-use integration

Customisable for conveyor belts from 200 mm up to 2800 mm

The KUSTA-System hyperspectral imaging and optical sorting solution offers a fully integrated, ready-to-use system for industrial material analysis, high-throughput recycling, and quality control processes. Designed for 24/7 operation, it provides maximum performance, high material throughput, and simple, cost-efficient integration.

In addition to the KUSTA hyperspectral imaging camera, the system includes a mounting bridge, a very powerful illumination unit, power supply, automation, and an embedded IPC. Optionally, we can also implement an RGB colour line scan camera and an automatic calibration bar.

There are considerable amounts of dust and dirt, especially when sorting recyclable materials. Our robust design is corrosion-resistant, dust-proof, and waterproof. It can be used in a wide range of temperatures and is therefore very durable and low-maintenance.

LLA always includes the required software in the system, which processes the measurement data in real time and transmits the evaluation results to your plant control via Ethernet.

If required, LLA systems can also control your blow-off valves (valve control accessories). In addition, the software offers (i) visualisation and processing of spectra, (ii) single and multi-level analysis models as well as (iii) their testing and optimisation. You can benefit from our many years of experience!

Key characteristics

Software

Main Components

1

KUSTA Hyperspectral Camera

Detects and analyses materials based on chemical composition, enabling precise optical sorting and material identification.

2

Mounting Bridge

Provides a stable platform for camera installation and alignment with the illumination unit, ensuring accurate measurements.

3

Illumination Unit

Double-sided lighting generates diffuse reflective radiation, essential for accurate hyperspectral imaging in real-time sorting.

4

Calibration Unit

Component for regular reflectance calibration. Outstanding results require careful measurements. Available in manual and automatic models.

Optional: RGB Line Scan Camera

Universal colour line scan camera designed to work seamlessly with the KUSTA camera to improve spatial resolution for better object detection in terms of size, position, and centre of gravity.
