A flagship product introduced at PACK EXPO Las Vegas six years ago came sporting major upgrades at this year’s show, with new mechanical, illumination and intelligence capabilities that improve several aspects of performance. Key Technology introduced its Veryx 2.0 line of digital sorters at this year’s PACK EXPO. Featuring a new mechanical layout, next-generation LED illumination, enhanced laser scanner technology, new software driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and more, the upgrades provide improved detection of defects and foreign materials in the product stream, and also deliver that performance over a longer period of time without degrading.

In very aggressive food production environments, the optical sorter is subject to water and other materials splashing against sensors, and debris collecting on the sensors as well as lights, notes Marco Azzaretti, director of marketing at Key Technology. “Over time, the challenge is to operate the same as Day 1,” he says.

The system’s optimized mechanical layout addresses this. The sorter’s architecture houses all utility components within the frame, eliminating the need for an external enclosure. All door seals have been updated to a new patented design, and additional sanitation upgrades further ensure Veryx 2.0 can withstand harsh operating environments over long production cycles.
