Zhongde Color Sorter Helps Upgrade Traditional Chinese Medicine Industry, Efficiently Sorting Angelica Slices for a Quality Leap
Release Date: April 24, 2026
Driven by the global wave of intelligent manufacturing, the modernization and standardization of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) production are accelerating. As a professional solution provider in material sorting, Xingtai Zhongde Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. injects innovation into traditional industries through advanced optical sorting technology. Recently, its latest intelligent color sorter has achieved breakthrough applications in TCM sorting, delivering exceptional performance in precise Angelica slice sorting and greatly improving product quality and market competitiveness.
TCM material quality directly affects efficacy and safety. Traditional manual sorting is inefficient, costly, and unstable. To solve this pain point, Zhongde's R&D team conducted in-depth research on Angelica sorting requirements and launched a customized color sorting solution with independent patented technologies.
Equipped with high-resolution CCD imaging and full-color recognition technology, the color sorter accurately identifies subtle differences in color, shape, and texture. It effectively removes moldy, burnt, discolored slices and impurities like plastic filaments, ensuring every Angelica slice meets premium standards.
The machine features an ultra-high-speed dual-track ejection system with microsecond response, reducing mis-ejection and ensuring high yield. It supports large-capacity continuous production, with a modular design for easy maintenance and 7×24 stable operation.
With a self-developed intelligent control system and large touch screen, users can quickly adjust parameters, save recipes, and switch with one click. It also provides real-time data statistics and cloud connectivity for digital production management and quality traceability.
The technical lead stated that applying advanced sorting technology to TCM is just the beginning, and the company aims to become a globally trusted intelligent sorting partner.
Equipped with Zhongde color sorters, Angelica production lines have been put into operation at well-known TCM enterprises. The sorted products meet export standards with significantly higher added value and lower labor costs, providing a replicable model for processing Astragalus, Licorice, Goji berries and other TCM materials.
Looking ahead, Zhongde will continue to integrate AI and big data into color sorting hardware, launch more material-adapted solutions, and help TCM, agricultural products, recycled resources and other industries achieve intelligent transformation of quality improvement, efficiency enhancement and cost reduction.
