Key's optical sorters help optimize product quality while improving yield and reducing labor. The COMPASS and VERYX optical sorters detect the color, size, shape and/or structural properties of every object to identify and remove a variety of product defects. Foreign material (FM), such as plastic, metal, glass, and paper, that may have been accidentally introduced to the production line is also removed.
These sorters are complemented by Key’s other processing systems – vibratory conveyors; horizontal motion conveyors; electromagnetic conveyors; equipment for sizing, grading and separating; systems for blanching, air cooling, air cleaning, washing and feeding.
