  • An optical sorter is doing a sorting after color, reflection or form.

  • First the optical sorter must learn what we will have separated away and the good ones. It is done by manually finding the defect seeds and impurities which the optical sorter takes several images of from all sides. In the same way shall images be taken of the good seeds.

    Then the optical sorter can recognize the defects and good seed.

    The product is feed into several channels, depending on capacity. Each channel has a camara in the front and back, which will find the defects. The defects will be blown away by a very exact air nozzle.

  • o   An optical sorter is a natural machine to have in the line after air and screen cleaner, Indented cylinder and Gravity when you will up to a very high purity without losing to many good seeds.

    o   An optical sorter can separate identical seeds with different color, which not is possible on other machines.
