3.4. Sorting Cylinder
At the rear of the conveyor is the Sorting Cylinder assembly. The conveyor receives the container.
An aluminum/metal sensor underneath the front of the conveyor belt detects whether the container
is aluminum/metal. If the container is accepted, the Sorting Cylinder assembly turns to push a
container into a compactor after the conveyor belts pull it in. The Sorting Cylinder is run by a chain
connected to a 24 V gear motor and turns clockwise and counter-clockwise.
