Innovative Screening Technology Leads Industry Transformation: Zhongde Intelligent Color Sorter Efficiently Sorts Chinese Medicinal Materials Angelica and Astragalus
News Release Date: 2026.4.19
Issuing Unit: Xingtai Zhongde Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd.
As the global wave of intelligent manufacturing advances, the importance of sorting technology in fields such as agricultural products, minerals, and renewable resources is becoming increasingly prominent. Xingtai Zhongde Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., a leading enterprise in the research, development, and manufacturing of intelligent sorting equipment in China, recently announced a major breakthrough in the field of Chinese medicinal material sorting with its latest generation of Zhongde Intelligent Color Sorters. The equipment has been successfully applied to the high-precision sorting of valuable medicinal materials such as Angelica and Astragalus, providing strong technical support for improving quality and efficiency in the traditional Chinese medicine industry.
Chinese medicinal materials, as treasures of traditional Chinese medicine, have quality that directly impacts the efficacy and safety of pharmaceutical products. However, in traditional processing, these materials often contain mixtures of different specifications, colors, or deteriorated parts. Manual sorting is not only inefficient but also prone to subjective influences, making consistency difficult to guarantee. To address this industry pain point, the Zhongde Intelligent Color Sorter leverages advanced optical recognition technology and artificial intelligence algorithms to achieve fast and precise sorting of medicinal materials such as Angelica and Astragalus. The device captures subtle color differences and morphological features on the material surface through high-resolution cameras and, combined with multispectral analysis technology, accurately identifies materials with uneven coloration, mold, insect damage, or impurities. Unqualified items are automatically removed via high-pressure air valves, achieving a sorting accuracy of over 99.9%.
The newly launched Zhongde Intelligent Color Sorter not only excels in sorting effectiveness but has also undergone comprehensive optimization in design and functionality. The device adopts a modular structure, allowing flexible adjustment of sorting parameters and processing capacity based on customer needs to accommodate production lines of different scales. Additionally, it is equipped with an intelligent learning system that continuously optimizes recognition models over time, adapting to appearance variations in medicinal materials caused by differences in origin and season. Furthermore, the device operates with low noise and energy consumption, and its fully sealed design effectively prevents dust leakage, meeting the environmental and safety production requirements of modern factories.
The Technical Director of Xingtai Zhongde Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. stated, "We are committed to integrating cutting-edge technology into the research and development of sorting equipment. The Chinese medicinal material color sorter launched this time is the result of years of dedication by the Zhongde brand in the field of intelligent recognition. It not only addresses the long-standing sorting challenges in the traditional Chinese medicine industry but also provides a reliable tool for promoting the modernization and standardization of Chinese medicine production." The equipment has already been trialed by several well-known Chinese medicine enterprises in China. Feedback indicates that after using the Zhongde Color Sorter, sorting efficiency for medicinal materials has increased by over 50%, labor costs have significantly decreased, and finished product quality has markedly improved, earning high recognition from customers.
Beyond the field of Chinese medicinal materials, the application scope of Zhongde Intelligent Color Sorters is continuously expanding. The company's research and development team has successfully developed sorting models for materials such as grains, nuts, plastics, and minerals. Examples include sorting broken and off-color grains in rice, identifying moldy particles in peanuts, separating different materials in plastic scraps, and screening heterochromatic ores in sand. These devices all rely on the same core platform, achieving "one machine, multiple uses" by adjusting optical configurations and algorithm models to meet the needs of customers across various industries.
Looking ahead, Xingtai Zhongde Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. will continue to increase investment in research and development, deepen cooperation with universities and research institutions, and explore the application of sorting technology in more emerging fields. The company plans to launch a new generation of color sorters integrated with Internet of Things (IoT) technology in the second half of this year, enabling remote monitoring, fault warnings, and cloud-based data analysis to further assist customers in achieving intelligent production management. As global industrial upgrading accelerates, the Zhongde brand will continue to drive innovation, providing efficient and reliable sorting solutions for various industries and adding a bright touch to "Intelligent Manufacturing in China."
