SORTIX AI + UV Combined Sorting Machine
AI vision and ultraviolet inspection in one in-line sorting stage

SORTIX AI + UV builds on the SORTIX AI sorting machine. The same industrial camera, background-removal algorithm and neural-network classifier inspect the fiber on the conveyor, and the same timed automatic removal remove what they find.
The UV channel adds a second view of every frame. Under ultraviolet illumination, many synthetic and treated materials fluoresce while natural flax does not, giving the classifier a signal that is independent of colour and texture. That matters for the contaminants that are hardest to separate by eye: clear plastic film, white synthetic string, bleached or undyed fabric, and residues from processing chemicals.
Both channels are fused before the removal decision is made, so the machine keeps the throughput and fiber-safe removal of the AI model while widening what it can detect.
Placeholder notice
The UV-specific detection figures for this model have not yet been measured on a production line and are therefore not published. The specifications below are shared with the SORTIX AI model unless marked otherwise. This text is a starting point and should be reviewed in the admin panel before the site goes public.
Key benefits
- Everything the SORTIX AI machine detects, plus UV-fluorescent contaminants
- Catches clear film, white synthetic string and bleached fabric that match flax under visible light
- Same fiber-safe automatic removal and in-line installation
- Bilingual touchscreen operation, no change to the upstream line
- Upgrade path from the SORTIX AI machine
