Digital sorter maximizes throughput on high-capacity lines

The Key Technology VERYX B210 belt-fed digital sorter singulates product on the belt and has a production capacity in excess of 50,000 lb of product per hour, depending on the application. With both top- and bottom-mounted sensors, the sorter can be configured to inspect product entirely in air for all-sided surface inspection. The unit removes foreign material and product defects based on the color, size, shape and/or structural properties of objects. It is suitable for a range of foods, such as wet and frozen potato strips and specialty potato products, as well as fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables, leafy greens, potato chips and other snack foods, confections and seafood.
