Key Technology Python Smart Laser Sorter

Python is a smart laser sorter that removes foreign material (FM), extraneous vegetative matter (EVM) and defects based on size, shape, colour and structure to improve product quality while increasing yield.

The product combines laser sorter features with complex shape recognition via its transparent, backlit chute. This design, combined with the latest image processing technologies and intelligent software and algorithms, allows for crisp analysis of complex contours as well as any combination of length, width, ratio and area to fine-tune product quality.

The unit’s backlit chute embodies all features of Key Technology’s Chycane chute, which feeds product in a monolayer with a consistent trajectory to the laser optics and ejection valves. This optimised product control maximises sorting and ejection efficiency, which increases overall yield.

The chute-fed sorter offers a small footprint, low maintenance with no moving parts, a sanitary design, full stainless steel/IP65 and an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI). It is suitable for fresh, dried and frozen fruits and vegetables as well as nuts and confections.
