Belt sorting machine

Optical sorting machine

For optical sorting of potatoes, freshly cut products, vegetables, dried fruit, fruit, seeds and grains, gumdrops, nuts, etc. in industrial use with Laser, Near infrared, Kamera or Multispectral-Sensor (BSI+).

Optical sorting machines are indispensable in modern food processing.

In a “belt sorting machine” the product to be sorted lies on a conveyor belt and runs below an optic (scanner) that checks the product. At the end of the belt, the machine knows where there are positions that need to be sorted out.

Defects or foreign bodies to be removed are blown downwards using air nozzles. Now the good product goes onto an outlet chute or an outlet conveyor belt.

Detection and exclusion of:

  • Foreign bodies
  • Defects in the product
  • Rotten areas
  • Colour variations
  • Damaged product
  •  Size sorting
  •  And much more
