Zhongde Intelligent Technology Launches New Generation AI Color Sorter, Achieving Over 99.9% Sorting Accuracy for Chinese Medicinal Materials and Grains
March 11, 2026, Xingtai Zhongde Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. officially released its self-developed sixth-generation artificial intelligence color sorter series. The newly launched equipment represents a major technological breakthrough in the sorting of Chinese medicinal raw materials and grains. By utilizing multispectral fusion technology and deep learning algorithms, the sorting accuracy has consistently reached over 99.9%, providing strong intelligent momentum for the high-quality development of related industries.
In the field of Chinese medicinal material processing, the removal of impurities and substandard products has long relied on extensive manual labor, resulting in low efficiency and inconsistent standards. Zhongde's new generation color sorter has established dedicated visual model libraries for medicinal materials of different forms and characteristics, such as roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits. The equipment can not only accurately identify and remove moldy, insect-damaged, discolored, and other non-conforming items but also achieve refined sorting of medicinal materials from different origins and grades according to customer needs. This significantly ensures the uniformity and efficacy stability of Chinese medicinal products, supporting the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine.
At the same time, the equipment also demonstrates outstanding performance in the grain processing industry. When dealing with impurities such as off-color grains, glass, stones, and clods mixed in materials like millet, mung beans, red beans, and oats, Zhongde's color sorter, with its ultra-high-resolution image acquisition system and millisecond-level jet valve response, enables extremely fast and precise removal. Its innovative self-cleaning optical system and constant-temperature dustproof design ensure stable long-term operation in dusty environments, meeting the stringent requirements of large-scale processing enterprises for continuous operation.
The technical lead of Xingtai Zhongde Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. explained that the core of this upgrade lies in the comprehensive iteration of the "AI Visual Perception System." The system undergoes continuous training with massive amounts of material images, enabling its recognition capabilities to extend beyond color to include shape, texture, gloss, and even subtle local feature differences. This allows the equipment to easily tackle challenges such as identifying different components in ores, detecting defects in nut shells, and sorting complex plastic mixtures for recycling, continuously expanding its application boundaries.
"We are always committed to integrating cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology with solid industrial manufacturing," stated the company's General Manager at the launch event. "From Chinese medicinal materials to grains, from minerals to recycled resources, the sorting requirements for different materials vary greatly. The goal of Zhongde color sorters is to address the specific pain points in each scenario through highly customized intelligent solutions, enhancing product value and driving the intelligent upgrade of the entire industry chain."
It is reported that this series of equipment has already completed testing and been put into operation at several well-known Chinese pharmaceutical companies and large-scale grain processing bases in China. Customer feedback indicates significant results in improving finished product quality, reducing labor costs, and minimizing raw material waste. Xingtai Zhongde Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. will continue to focus on the intelligent sorting field, driving development through innovation, and providing efficient and reliable intelligent production equipment for customers across more industries globally.
