Product overviewThe SORTEX N combines Bühler’s proven shell-detection cameras (BioCam) with a modern sorting platform. It is an optical sorter engineered for nut processing, integrating advanced camera technologies and an intelligent sorting platform to optimise yield and sorting accuracy.
Key benefits- Connectivity: Includes Bühler Insights Connect hardware. Compatible with the SORTEX monitoring system powered by Bühler Insights to monitor sorting performance and receive remote alarm notifications.
- Usability: ProSortX 4.0 provides an intuitive interface and actionable insights for machine and plant managers, improving visibility of machine performance and throughput trends.
- Flexible sizing: Configurable with up to three chutes and flexible sorting arrangements, capable of handling up to 6 tons per hour depending on product and configuration.
Highlight features- Expert sorting platforms: BioCam and OptiCam identify critical defects and support shell-detection to maximise yield.
- Next generation detection: ColorCam+ and InGaAs HD cameras work in parallel with advanced shape-detection algorithms to improve defect and shape identification.
- Efficient defect ejection: SmartEject™ fires precisely at the whole object to ensure reliable removal of defects.
ApplicationsDesigned for sorting nuts (including shell detection) and similar products in nut-processing lines where precise defect detection, yield optimisation and flexible throughput configurations are required.
