Optical sorters are among the newest technology in seed and grain processing. This equipment separates particles based on colour and is often found at or near the end of the processing line, after mechanical separations, to remove impurities of similar size and density.
Colour sorting is necessary nowadays to ensure the best purity of bulk products, as well as ensuring the strictest food hygiene and health requirements of end-products are met.
Cimbria SEA.CX (sold and serviced by Nexeed) offers a complete range of optical sorters. Machines are available from one to seven chutes wide. The technology range includes a simple monochromatic version, to bichromatic, NIR, InGaAs, RGB Full Colour, and now Shape Sizing in the SEA.CX.
