The AKB-1 Automatic Boxing Machine is designed for the automated sorting of diamonds and other precious stones by weight and classification characteristics. Its area of application includes enterprises engaged in the sorting of precious stones.

Principle of operation: 

Pre-classified diamonds, sorted by value, weight, and other characteristics, are loaded into 128 input bins. The diamonds are then conveyed to the hopper discharge unit, where each bin is unloaded into a single-crystal feeder. Subsequently, individual crystals are transferred to the weighing unit hopper for high-precision weighing. The acquired data is transmitted to the control software. The bin is then unloaded into a temporary storage chamber, and the next crystal is fed onto the weighing scale. The previous crystal awaits readiness for acceptance by the crystal distributor unit, which sorts them into the output bins. Based on the criterion that the weight and value of the material in all output bins must be approximately equal, the control software, after a crystal is loaded into the distributor, issues a command to place the crystal into one of the 128 output bins. This process facilitates the sequential sorting of the contents from all input bins.
