SENSOR SORTING
In the early 2000s, IMS Engineering pioneered sensor-based sorting in the mining and mineral industries, starting with basic color sensors and evolving to today’s advanced, high-precision systems.
About SENSOR SORTING
Sensor sorting uses cutting-edge technologies to detect, analyse, and separate individual rock particles based on specific material properties. Our partnership with COMEX provides state-of-the-art sensor sorting systems that are highly accurate, efficient, durable, and easy to maintain.
With over 20 years of expertise in sorting, IMS Engineering delivers proven, globally recognized technology that offers substantial processing, economic, and environmental benefits to mining operations.
Applications of Sensor Sorting Include: ➣ Pre-concentration and resource upgrading, enhancing feed grade, product quality, and overall processing efficiency while lowering costs ➣ Converting previously unsaleable or sub-economic low-grade ore or dumps into valuable resources
Benefits of SENSOR SORTING
• Reduce physical separation costs • Reduce energy consumption in the processing plant • Reduce transport costs between the mine and the plant • Reduce the amount of waste / tailings • Increase yield • Improve the final purity of the product before grinding • Reduce environmental pollution

"Having pioneered multi-commodity sensor sorting in Africa over 20 years ago, we have vast experience in the integration and operation of sensor sorting plants across multiple commodities. Compared to alternative technologies, sensor sorting offers the additional benefits of low capital and operating costs, as well as rapid responses to process changes and scaling requirements. From an environmental viewpoint, they consume less energy, and the associated material preparation requires little to no water (dry) depending on the type of sensor applied."
