Ingenieurbüro Barthel
Color sorting with latest technology

We have been selling color sorters for over 20 years!

Real choice in color sorters!
We distribute color sorters from two strong manufacturers: Cimbria and CSort.

Thus we have a broad range and offer precise true color models in different price classes. These are equipped with near-infrared cameras in three types as needed, which we present in more detail on these pages. Additionally, we have a NIR spectral sorter from Cimbria in our range.

As long-term representatives and service providers we know the respective strengths of the various color sorters and the application areas of the different cameras and can therefore suggest the right model to customers with pinpoint accuracy.

In addition to sales, we offer:

  • Rental of color sorters
  • Demonstrations and tests possible in our technical center in Dresden and at customers
  • Competent, affordable and flexible service
  • Contract sorting of small quantities up to approx. 2 t in Dresden, contract cleaning and sorting for larger quantities at our partner Lerchenbergmühle near Leipzig

Color Sorter SEA.IQ PLUS from Cimbria

SEA.IQ PLUS

Our new premium model with multispectral recognition also in the NIR range with all refinements, Low NIR cameras included with the color cameras, optional multifrequency NIR-InGaAs cameras and automated program creation.

Color Sorter SEA.CX (Chromex) from Cimbria

SEA.CX

Our proven premium model with true color and shape recognition, with optional NIR-InGaAs or Low NIR cameras and automated program creation.

In addition to these models, we also recommend the basic model SEA.TN from Cimbria SEA as a more affordable alternative, which as a true color sorter has its strengths especially with products with more distinct color differences and high throughputs there.

For use with plastics for separation by materials and nuts for safe shell separation, there is newly available from end of 2025 the revised NIR spectral sorter SEA.XL with hyperspectral NIR sensors (formerly SEA.HY, now bilateral with RGB cameras).

Color Sorter Smartsort C from CSort (new!)

Smartsort C1

True color models with concentrated reject, very good operability, optional Low NIR cameras, now with the new model Smartsort C Eco (since Jan. 2024) also with low space requirement.

Color Sorter Smartsort C from CSort (new!)

Smartsort C6

Single-chute machines with 75 cm width and optionally 190 instead of 160 cm height are offered.
