Quad-View Belt Optical Sorter
Common Challenges
Nut processors face increasing quality requirements from retailers and export markets. Manual sorting is labor-intensive, inconsistent and unable to keep pace with modern production. Conventional free-fall color sorters often struggle with irregular products because only part of the product surface is inspected during sorting. This can result in missed defects, unnecessary rejects and product damage.
Common quality issues include mold, insect damage, broken kernels, shell fragments, discoloration, shriveled kernels, empty shells, stones, sticks and other foreign materials. Even small defects can reduce product grade and customer satisfaction.
Solution
The Techik Quad-View Belt Optical Sorter addresses these challenges through advanced AI algorithms and four-sided optical inspection. Products are transported smoothly on a belt conveyor, allowing multiple cameras to inspect every visible surface. AI algorithms analyze color, texture, shape and defect characteristics in real time, while high-speed ejectors remove only defective products. This combination significantly improves sorting accuracy and minimizes false rejects.
Features
360° HD Inspection
Four high-definition viewing angles capture the complete product surface for comprehensive inspection.
AI Deep Learning
AI continuously recognizes complex defect patterns that traditional rule-based systems cannot easily identify.
Gentle Belt Conveying
Stable product presentation minimizes impact and reduces breakage of fragile products.
Stable LED Lighting
Uniform LED cold lighting provides consistent illumination for reliable long-term performance.
Flexible Product Database
Store hundreds of product recipes for fast changeover between different nut varieties.
Industrial Reliability
Designed for continuous operation with durable components and easy maintenance.
Industries & Applications
Suitable for cashews, almonds, macadamia nuts, walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, pistachios, chopped nuts, mixed nuts and other irregular-shaped agricultural products.
Detectable Defects
The system effectively identifies mold, insect spots, broken kernels, shriveled kernels, empty shells, dark spots, red heart, shell fragments, color variation, disease spots, sticks, stones, cigarette ends and other visible contaminants. AI classification also supports customized grading according to customer quality standards.
Benefits
Compared with manual inspection, Techik helps reduce labor requirements, improve product consistency, increase premium-grade yield, reduce customer complaints, lower false reject rates and maintain stable quality during high-speed production. The system also supports digital recipe management, Ethernet communication and integration into existing processing lines.
