Optical Sorters

TDI Packsys Optical Sorters automatically detect and eliminate defective materials in bulk products using advanced optoelectronic technology. Systems identify visual differences, and compare against user-defined criteria – swiftly remove defective product and contaminants, or separate products by grade/type. Read More

Optical sorters use advanced components and engineering to deliver top-tier sorting performance. They can automatically inspect and remove various contaminants from bulk products, such as glass, plastic, wood, shells, and stones. Additionally, these systems eliminate discolored, diseased, or misshaped items. TDI Packsys optical sorters excel at this with precise air jets that efficiently remove defects. They are ideal for sorting a wide range of harvested products, including peanuts, nuts, grains, seeds, fruits, dehydrated vegetables, corn, and more.

Using advanced optoelectronic technology, optical sorters detect and remove defective materials from bulk products. They identify visual differences based on user-defined criteria, enabling swift removal of defective items and contaminants, or separation by grade or type.

Applications

Identify and sort foreign matter and impurities in nuts, spices, seeds, grains, beans, rice, plastics, snacks, and fresh/frozen/dehydrated fruits and vegetables.

Features

Intelligent Algorithms + Deep Learning

TDI Packsys’s advanced AI inspection suite learns your products and inspects based on:

  • Detect subtle color differences – even those unable to be discerned manually.
    Identify Foreign objects and defective products through differences in shape and size.
  • Infrared technology identifies foreign objects made of different materials – even nuts and shells with similar shapes can be identified.
  • Achieve unprecedented levels of inspection with custom inspection programing tailored to your products and process.

Other Key Features

  • LED & broad-spectrum lighting + IR & near-IR imaging – detects translucent material and foreign material that’s same as product
  • High-precision ejection system – minimize false rejects of good product
  • Customized AI inspection algorithms – ensures maximum detection based on shape, size, color, and material composition
  • Auto-learning function – enhances user proficiency in machine operation, and reduces unnecessary door-to-door service and debugging time
  • High-configuration cameras – colorful  sensor, high pixel, the recognition ability of subtle chromatic aberration can enhance the true color of reducing materials
  • Real-Time Data Monitoring – equipment supports remote diagnosis; real-time monitoring of large data in the background is convenient and fast

FAQs

Optical color sorters offer a new perspective in food inspection with the use of optical tech rather than conductivity (metal detectors) or density (x-ray). 

Optical color sorters work by passing the product down a chute and into a small freefall. In this freefall, LEDs are used to illuminate the product, and a series of cameras capture the product image as it falls. 

Color sorter technology allows the user to select which colors are ‘good’ product, and everything else is read as a contaminant and rejected. 

This technology allows low density, non-conductive contaminants to be located inside of bulk product.

Optical color sorters from TDI Packsys can be used to inspect the majority of harvested products, as well as any products that are processed in bulk. Beans, nuts, fruits, vegetables and spices are all easily inspected for foreign materials and defects using optical color sorting.
