Nuts sorter SORTEX J SpectraVision

graincoffeelentil

Overview
The SORTEX J is the latest release from Bühler for electronic sorting of grains, seeds and plastics. With a redesigned user interface, in-house developed full-colour cameras and remodelled lighting, the SORTEX J builds on over 75 years of SORTEX optical sorting experience and is designed to maximise yields.

Improved Performance
An all new optical sorter delivering up to 50% higher reject concentrations.
SpectraVision provides maximum yields through newly designed in-house full-colour cameras for superior colour differentiation and new InGaAs cameras for advanced foreign matter (FM) detection. Innovative ejection algorithms minimise false rejects. New calibration and tracking algorithms improve machine consistency and reduce false rejects.

Connectivity
Control and view your machine performance from anywhere in the world.
Machine setup changes are logged and saved on Bühler Insights with real-time tracking of sorting performance. Emergency warnings and remote monitoring are available via the SORTEX Monitoring System. The SORTEX J aligns with Industry 4.0 standards.

Ease-of-use
No technical skills required for operation.
Default modes and pre-tested recipes for each product are provided by SORTEX experts for optimum machine setup out of the box. A simple user interface with individual sensitivity control (slider bars) for each defect allows operators to maintain optimum machine performance easily.

Key benefits

• Connectivity — Control and view machine performance remotely; Industry 4.0 ready.
• Easy to use — Individual slider bars for each defect allow anyone to operate the machine.
• Improved performance — New technologies deliver higher productivity with up to 50% more reject concentrations.

Key features / Innovative technology
New cameras: designed for selection
The cameras are developed in-house to provide the best signal-to-noise ratio on the market. The new full-colour cameras offer superior spectral purity between colours for differentiation of subtle colour defects. Standard InGaAs cameras elevate foreign matter detection to a new level.

Next generation sorting
Intelligent sorting algorithms
New programming and advanced learning techniques increase the ability to recognise and remove foreign matter and subtle defects, improving throughput, sorting performance and ease of use. Product calibration and tracking algorithms ensure consistent machine performance and high final-product quality.

Bühler guarantee
The development guarantee
Bühler continues to develop new features, software solutions and upgrades to ensure machines remain state-of-the-art and meet evolving market challenges.
