Key Technology will showcase its next-generation VERYX digital sorters at INC World Nut & Dried Fruit Congress in May at San Diego, US.
With advancements such as multi-sensor Pixel Fusion and the highest resolution 4-channel cameras and laser sensors available on a digital sorter, VERYX identifies sub-millimeter-size FM and defects.
It can discriminate between good product, shell, paper shell, mold, membrane, small pieces, ‘butter balls’ and insect webbing and damage, even when defects are small or the same color, size and shape of good product.
VERYX identifies and removes more foreign material (FM) and defects to maximize product quality, enabling nut and dried fruit processors to improve product quality and increase yields while enhancing production efficiencies and reducing the need for skilled labor.
Advanced auto-learn, self-adjusting capabilities and recipe-driven operation offer extreme ease-of-use and an intuitive user experience.
The machine also increases FM and defect removal to improve product quality.
It virtually eliminates false rejects to increase yields.
This is accomplished with a new precision ejection system, software-driven intelligent ejection algorithms and product handling systems that better stabilize nuts and dried fruit to create a more consistent trajectory through the inspection and ejection zones.
Every VERYX sorter is configured around the product characteristics, application requirements and process objectives of each customer.
The family includes belt-fed sorters as well as chute sorters fed by Key’s patented Chycane chute system.
The range is available in widths ranging from 700 mm to 2100 mm.
