“32-bit” and “64-bit” in color sorters usually refer to the number of bits in their processor (CPU) or operating system architecture. Different number of bits directly affects the data processing capability and operating efficiency of the equipment. In the field of color sorters, especially in high-precision and high-speed applications, this is very critical. Here are the main differences between the two:
1. Data processing capability
32-bit system: processes up to 4 bytes (32 bits) of data at a time, and the maximum addressing space is 4GB.
64-bit system: processes up to 8 bytes (64 bits) of data at a time, with a theoretical addressing space of up to 16EB (about 16 million TB), and the actual addressing space is usually more than tens of GB.
64-bit system has higher data throughput and faster image processing, which is suitable for high-speed color sorting applications.
2. Color sorting accuracy and recognition speed
32-bit color sorter:
Usually used for ordinary crops or low-precision industrial applications.
The processor has low computing power, and the image recognition speed and complexity are limited.
64-bit color sorter:
Commonly used for high-precision color sorting of ores, plastics, powders, seeds, etc.
Can support AI algorithms, high-definition cameras (such as CCD/CMOS) and big data image analysis, with higher recognition accuracy.
3. Supported function expansion
64-bit system is easier to integrate intelligent algorithms (such as deep learning, color + shape recognition), multi-channel recognition, remote control and other functions.
4. Cost and application scenarios
Parameters | 32-bit color sorter | 64-bit color sorter |
Cost | Relatively low | Relatively high |
Precision requirements | Mid- and low-end applications | High-precision/complex material identification |
Typical scenarios | Ordinary rice, wheat, mung beans | Plastic sorting, ore, powder color sorting |
5.Summary
64-bit color sorters are superior to 32-bit in terms of processing speed, recognition accuracy, system stability, etc., but the cost is also relatively higher. If you have high requirements for the sorting accuracy, speed and intelligence of the color sorter, you should give priority to the 64-bit system.
