Nut Sorting

We provide optical sorting solutions for nut processors who demand the highest standards of safety, hygiene and quality. The Z series of sorter is aimed at maximizing the yield. It is able to sort peanuts, almonds, walnuts, pecans, pistachios, cashews, macadamias, hazelnuts, pine nuts, etc. We make great efforts and heavy investments in research and development to integrate the most advanced optical sorting technologies into our machines. They are able to remove the most challenging defective nuts and foreign objects.

Setting new standards of safety and hygiene
1. The Z series of CCD sorter shows high efficiency in the removal of rotten, decayed, discolored, insect damaged and moldy nuts.
2. Excellent results in removing even the most challenging defects such as nutshell, hull, stones, mud balls, wood chips, glass and other foreign materials.
3. It reduces the aflatoxin level by removing nuts carrying aspergillus flavus.
4. It adopts open design and stainless steel construction, allowing hygienic operation and easy cleaning.

Maximized value and yield
1. Precise color detecting and size grading achieves uniform appearance and high added value.
2. The adoption of advanced custom-built technologies—broad spectrum lighting, high resolution visible camera, and InGaAs (SWIR) and PROfile technology, ensures the selection of the highest quality nuts.
3. The leading ejector technology minimizes the false ejection of good nuts.
4. By gentle fruit handling, the machine minimizes the damage to good nuts.
5. Simultaneous re-sort option allows the recovery of good nuts from the rejected stream.
6. Reverse sorting capability allows extensive recovery of good nuts from a bad batch with a contamination level over 50%.

Stable performance
1. The sorter can automatically calibrate itself and keep the optical viewing area clean. The automation ensures consistent performance and reliable operation.
2. A temperature control system is an optional component. It helps to achieve maximum stability by maintaining a constant temperature in the optical and control cabinets when the ambient temperature changes wildly.

Various configurations
1. The modular design offers five available specifications to suit for capacities of 1-12 tons/hour.
2. The adoption of advanced custom-built technologies allows the sorting of nuts in multiple sizes at various stages of the process, such as shelled, natural, peeled, roasted nuts and nut pieces.
3. Graphical user interface (GUI) enables fast product changeovers with various pre-stored product modes.

Increased productivity and lower costs
1. Taking advantage of the Anyware remote connection, our engineers can offer quick support to maximize the uptime and enhance productivity.
2. Lower energy consumption and air supply requirement reduce operational costs.
3. The machine adopts solid-state optical components and low-cost illuminating devices with no requirement for inert gas.
