The optical sorters of the “S100” series are manufactured on stainless steel frame with a high resistance to corrosion. Both the electronic control and the cutting-edge detecting optical system assure an accurate, precise sorting; the user-friendly equipment allows for fast calibrations and allows the user to determine the level of chromatic tolerance of fruits passing through.
Operating principle
All optical sorters are equipped with the innovative scanning viewing system of color and material. This instrument – fruit of in-depth research studies – assures a very accurate sorting to the user.
Fruits are distributed onto the machine feeding belt to be then scanned by the video cameras placed so as to cover the whole belt width. In fractions of one thousand of a second the material is viewed by the system and declared to be “suitable” or “unsuitable”. Should the latter be the case, it is rejected by the smart ejectors positioned on the lower pneumatic unit which hit the polluting material with a millimetric precision by ejecting it. All the suitable material is saved and goes on toward the following stations
