Optical Sorting
Food safety goes hand in hand with food quality. Thankfully, there are various ways food manufacturers can resolve safety issues and remove foreign materials, while retaining high-quality products, using superior precision optical sorting equipment. Our optical sorting solutions go beyond just removing contaminants - they can also grade food products based on colour.
Fields of application
We provide specialized systems for optical inspection and sorting systems for the food industry, with a focus on all kinds of food products such as potatoes, french fries, carrots, sweets, and seafood like crustaceans and shellfish, nuts, and dried fruits. In addition, the systems are also used for some non-food applications, such as the optical inspection of tobacco products and plastics.
Your Challenge
Optimize yield by removing foreign materials
The world population is rising and the demand for potato products is keeping pace. However, increasing pressure on prices demands greater efficiency. Moreover, the rules on food safety are being tightened worldwide and consumers have also become more demanding.
The presence of foreign materials or inferior products is not only a matter of food safety in times of growing competition, quality problems can be downright harmful to your reputation. At the same time, you want to limit your ecological footprint and deal as carefully as possible with what Mother Nature gives us. You want to be left with as much as possible from the 100 tons of potatoes and satisfy your customers and the customers of your customers, the consumer.
In short, it’s important to optimize your sorting process; to detect as many foreign materials (like stones, plastic/metal pieces, etc.) and defects as possible and without unnecessarily removing good products.
Sorting by colour
Would you like black potato chips?
Would you like your raisins to be multi-coloured?
No, you wouldn’t like that, and neither would your customer. That’s why, with our state-of-the-art optical sorting systems, we segregate and remove discoloured products so that your yield consists of the best quality products in every way.
We provide innovative optical sorting solutions for:
Potato processors
Candy industry
Vegetable processors
Seafood processors
Dried fruit & nut processors
