Umshini wokuhlunga imibala, ovame ukubizwa ngokuthi isihlungi semibala noma okokusebenza kokuhlela imibala, iyidivayisi ezenzakalelayo esetshenziswa ezimbonini ezihlukahlukene, okuhlanganisa ezolimo, ukucutshungulwa kokudla, kanye nokukhiqiza, ukuze kuhlungwe izinto noma izinto ezisekelwe embalani wazo nezinye izici zokubona. Le mishini iklanyelwe ukuhlukanisa izinto ngempumelelo nangokunembile ngezigaba ezihlukene noma ukususa izinto ezonakele noma ezingafuneki ekusakazweni komkhiqizo.

Izingxenye ezibalulekile nezimiso zokusebenza zomshini wokuhlunga imibala ngokuvamile zihlanganisa:

Uhlelo Lokuphakelayo: Impahla yokufaka, okungaba izinhlamvu, imbewu, imikhiqizo yokudla, amaminerali, noma ezinye izinto, ifakwa emshinini. Uhlelo lokuphakelayo luqinisekisa ukugeleza okungaguquki nokulingana kwezinto zokuhlunga.

Ukukhanyisa: Izinto ezizohlungwa zidlula ngaphansi komthombo wokukhanya oqinile. Ukukhanyisa okufanayo kubalulekile ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi umbala kanye nezakhiwo ze-optical zento ngayinye zibonakala ngokucacile.

Izinzwa namakhamera: Amakhamera anesivinini esiphezulu noma izinzwa ezibonakalayo zithwebula izithombe zezinto njengoba zidlula endaweni ekhanyisiwe. Lezi zinzwa zibona imibala nezinye izici zokubona zento ngayinye.

Ukucutshungulwa Kwezithombe: Izithombe ezithwetshulwe amakhamera zicutshungulwa isofthiwe yokucubungula izithombe ethuthukisiwe. Le softhiwe ihlaziya imibala nezinto ezibonakalayo zezinto futhi yenza izinqumo ezisheshayo ngokusekelwe kumbandela wokuhlunga ochazwe ngaphambilini.

I-Sorting Mechanism: Isinqumo sokuhlunga sidluliselwa kumshini ohlukanisa izinto ngokwezigaba ezahlukene. Indlela ejwayeleke kakhulu ukusetshenziswa kwama-air ejectors noma ama-chute emishini. Ama-air ejector akhulula umoya ukuze achezukise izinto ziye esigabeni esifanele. Ama-chute emishini asebenzisa izithiyo ezibonakalayo ukuqondisa izinto endaweni efanele.

Izigaba Zokuhlunga Eziningi: Kuye ngedizayini nenjongo yomshini, ungakwazi ukuhlunga izinto ngezigaba eziningi noma umane uzihlukanise zibe ukusakazwa “okwamukelwe” kanye “nokwaliwe”.

Ukuqoqwa Kwezinto Ezinqatshiwe: Izinto ezingahlangabezani nemibandela eshiwo ngokuvamile zikhishelwa esitsheni esihlukile noma isiteshi sezinto ezinqatshiwe.

Iqoqo Lezinto Ezamukelwe: Izinto ezihlungiwe ezihlangabezana nemibandela ziqoqwa kwesinye isiqukathi ukuze kuqhutshekwe nokucubungula noma ukupakishwa.

Imishini yokuhlunga imibala ye-Techik yenziwa ngendlela oyifisayo kakhulu futhi ingalungiselelwa ukuhlunga ngokusekelwe ezicini ezihlukahlukene ezingaphezu kombala, njengosayizi, umumo, namaphutha. Asetshenziswa kakhulu ezinhlelweni lapho ukulawulwa kwekhwalithi, ukungaguquguquki, nokunemba kubaluleke kakhulu, okuhlanganisa ukuhlungwa kokusanhlamvu nembewu, izithelo nemifino, ubhontshisi wekhofi, amapulasitiki, amaminerali, nokunye. Ihlose ukuhlangana nezinto zokusetshenziswa ezahlukahlukene, I-Techik idizayine isihlungi sombala webhande, isihlungi sombala we-chute,ukuhlunga umbala ohlakaniphile, isihlungi sombala wejubane elincane, kanye nokunye. Ukuzenzakalela kanye nesivinini sale mishini kuthuthukisa kakhulu ukusebenza kahle kwezinqubo zezimboni, kunciphisa ukuthembela emsebenzini wezandla nokuthuthukisa ikhwalithi yomkhiqizo wokugcina.
