AMD SORTING XRT Intelligent Ore Sorting: From "Grind First, Sort Later" to "Sort First, Grind Later" Global mining is at a turning point. Easily processed resources are depleting, mining and processing thresholds are rising, and high-grade ore is becoming scarcer. Mines are increasingly turning to low-grade, complex, and difficult-to-process ore. At the same time, tighter environmental regulations and rising labor costs are putting continuous pressure on the traditional "crush–grind–separate" route. The problem often starts at the beginning: whole ore goes straight into the mill. A large amount of waste rock takes up capacity, consumes energy, dilutes grade, and drives up reagent, water, power, and labor costs. Removing waste rock before milling—pre-concentration—has therefore become a key lever for cost reduction and efficiency improvement. It reduces unnecessary grinding, lowers energy and reagent consumption, and allows milling and separation capacity to focus on valuable ore. It also makes it possible to economically process low-grade resources that were previously difficult to justify. For many mines, this is the first switch from "the more we process, the more we lose" to "fine-tuned profitability." The Technical Answer: XRT Transparency, No Water, No Media AMD SORTING has independently developed the XRT intelligent ore sorter, covering four core systems—feeding, distribution, identification, and execution—along with auxiliary systems for air supply, dust removal, power distribution, and control. The principle is based on X-ray transmission imaging. Different minerals absorb and attenuate X-rays differently, generating identification signals. AI algorithms make millisecond-level decisions, and high-pressure air jets precisely separate ore from waste rock. The entire process requires no water and no heavy media, enabling dry pre-concentration. This reduces sorting costs while improving both efficiency and precision. For different mineral characteristics, the equipment can build intelligent models and use big-data analysis to digitally identify and classify ore and gangue. The intelligent execution system then discharges the gangue. The Value: Remove Waste Early, Profit with Precision As mineral resources become increasingly depleted and green mining and intelligent upgrading become industry-wide trends, XRT intelligent pre-concentration is moving from an "optional" front-end step to a "must-have" for cost reduction and efficiency improvement. AMD SORTING XRT intelligent ore sorter now covers pre-concentration applications for more than 20 minerals, including gold, silver, lead, zinc, copper, tungsten, antimony, tin, lithium, iron, manganese, sulfur, phosphate, fluorite, talc, kaolinite, barite, limestone, and magnesite. For each mine, AMD SORTING follows a "one mine, one strategy" approach and offers custom development for new mineral types. We deliver single units, multi-unit systems, and mobile complete equipment, forming customized soluti...

AMD® Global Tour | Precision Rice Color Sorting in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand Customer |Naratip Ricemill Co., Ltd. (Nakhon Pathom, Thailand) Capacity |Rice processing and export line Equipment |AMD® Rice Color Sorters (2 Standard Models + 1 High-End Model) Challenge In the competitive rice export industry, consistency and purity are everything. For a rice producer and exporter like Naratip Ricemill, the challenge goes beyond simply removing bad grains. They needed a solution that could handle a very specific requirement: separating rice by different colors to ensure each color variant remains pure and independent, without any mixing. At the same time, they needed to maintain high efficiency while accurately separating good rice from bad rice. Manual sorting or traditional equipment simply couldn't meet the dual demands of color differentiation and quality control at an industrial scale. Solution To address these challenges, Naratip Ricemill turned to AMD® color sorting technology. We deployed a tailored setup consisting of three AMD machines: two ordinary models for standard sorting tasks, and one high-end model for the most demanding color separation requirements. The AMD® color sorters are equipped with advanced optical sensors and AI-driven algorithms that precisely identify and eject grains based on subtle color differences. This allows the rice mill to achieve two critical goals simultaneously: Independent Color Separation: Accurately separating rice of different colors so they remain distinct and unmixed. Quality Control: Effectively removing defective, discolored, or bad rice to ensure the final product meets export-grade standards. Result Since the installation of the AMD® color sorting line, Naratip Ricemill has experienced a significant improvement in both sorting accuracy and operational efficiency.

AMD® Global Tour | Full-Process Plastic Sorting in Chonburi, Thailand Customer| Andy Huang's Recycling Plant (Chonburi, Thailand) Capacity| 2,000 tons/month (PET) + 600-700 tons/month (PP & PE) Equipment| AMD® Bottle Sorters, Color Sorters, and Polymer Sorters (Full-line Integration) Challenge In the fast-evolving plastic recycling industry, achieving high-volume output without compromising purity is a daunting task. For Andy Huang's facility in Chonburi, managing a sprawling 36,800-square-meter plant, the scale of operation is immense. Processing over 2,000 tons of mixed plastics monthly means that even a 1% contamination rate can lead to hundreds of tons of substandard material, severely impacting market value and profitability. However, the true difficulty lies in the complexity of the material stream. Sorting post-consumer waste demands the ability to distinguish not just between different polymers (like PET, PP, and PE), but also between varying colors and physical contaminants. Relying solely on traditional mechanical screens or manual sorting simply cannot keep pace with the required purity standards. Andy Huang needed a solution that could handle this massive volume with absolute precision, ensuring the final recycled flakes met the strict requirements of high-end downstream manufacturers. Solution To address these challenges, AMD® deployed a comprehensive, AI-driven sorting ecosystem designed for the entire recycling workflow. Rather than a single machine, we designed a multi-stage sorting strategy that covers every critical step. The highlight of this deployment is the seamless integration of AI into every stage. The machines learn from the specific material profiles of Andy Huang 's incoming waste, continuously improving sorting accuracy over time.Moreover, this end-to-end automation directly translated into operational efficiency.
