Key Technology introduced its VERYX belt-fed digital sorter at PACK EXPO. Like its chute-fed sorters, the new belt-fed sorters feature innovative mechanical architecture, sustainable all-sided surface inspection, multi-sensor Pixel Fusion, high resolution cameras and laser sensors which maximize foreign material and defect detection and removal while eliminating false rejects.
The machinery also includes Key’s Information Analytics, a set of data acquisition and connectivity capabilities that allows users to gather a broad range of product and operational data from the sorter.
The VERYX achieves more accurate discrimination, detecting additional kinds of defects and smaller defects without sending good product to the reject stream. The machinery helps food processors improve product quality, increases yields and reduces the need for manual labor.
The sorter can be viewed at Booth E-7118.
