Key Technology VERYX Belt-Fed Digital Sorters

Wednesday, 24 August, 2016 | Supplied by: Key Technology Australia Pty Ltd


Key Technology has introduced VERYX belt-fed digital sorters, which are customisable to suit varying product characteristics and production objectives.

The sorter is available in four widths. The B175 model features a 1750 mm-wide inspection area suitable for mid- to high-capacity operations such as potato processors and food processors sorting vegetables, fruits or other products.

For food processors requiring all-sided surface inspection, the sensors can be arranged to achieve full view of each object in the product stream.

High-resolution cameras and laser sensors detect and remove submillimetre size defects and FM. The sorter can utilise up to four channels of information from cameras and up to eight channels of information from the laser scanner, enhanced by LED lighting that operates at the optimal frequencies in relation to each sensor.

The product separation/ejection system tailors the distance between nozzles and the power of the valves varying for optimal management of the sort streams.

Richer product information and data processing architecture and intelligent software enables the system to make robust sorting decisions and handle spikes in incoming defect loads.

Smart features — including auto-learning, self-adjustment algorithms, predictive system diagnostics, smart alarms, FMAlert and Sort-to-Grade — enable the sorter to operate virtually unattended during normal production.

Recipe-driven operation and repeatable calibration enables consistent performance, including running the same product across multiple sorters in different locations.

Product handling systems provide improved stabilisation of the product, creating a more consistent trajectory through the inspection and ejection zones, and ensuring sorting accuracy.
