Abstract
An adaptable sorter unit includes an attachment mechanism, a sorting device that is capable of deflecting a sample, a data port that is capable of receiving information, and a power port that is connectable to a power source. The attachment mechanism, the sorting device, the data port, and the power port are physically connected together. The adaptable sorter unit also includes a memory circuit and a processor circuit configured to read information received via the data port and control the sorting device. The sorting device is a vacuum system, a mechanical pedal system, or an air jet system. The attachment mechanism is a mounting bracket, a mounting bracket receptacle, a weldable material, a clamp, a bolt, or a screw. The attachment mechanism connects the adaptable sorter unit to a processing line such that the adaptable sorter unit is capable of deflecting a sample traveling along the processing line.
