Opto Electronic Colour Sorter MC A 72

Multi - Chromatic Electronic Sorter for removal of colour defects and contaminants

The AUTOSORT MC Range uses a rapid sequence of different coloured lights to obtain ‘more than colour information’ from the product. Often, even very similar colours can be differentiated. The infra-red capability improves detection of foreign bodies. The camera information is processed by an ultra-fast digital signal processor, and commands are sent to one or more ejectors to remove the unwanted item efficiently.

The MC-A is specifically configured for efficient sorting of difficult to handle, lightweight products such as green herbs or flakes. After being spread on a vibratory feeder, the product accelerates down a chute and is inspected by the 2048 pixel line-scan camera. Defects and contaminants are removed by short puffs of air from ejectors built into the feed system. The unique shape of the chute and configuration of ejectors ensure very high efficiency of defect removal and low wastage of good product.

Natural materials contain impurities and less-than-perfect product. By removing discolouration and contamination, the quality and value of the finished product is increased, or lower grade raw material can be used. The customer will be rewarded with consistent quality product. Also food safety is enhanced by ensuring that foreign bodies and contamination are removed before it reaches the consumer. Added value all round.
