FOR MAXIMUM PRODUCT VALUE

Using hyperspectral imaging and deep learning, our potato sorting systems deliver up to 98.7% accuracy across high-throughput lines. They identify and separate potatoes by defect, color, size, or shape. The system automatically adapts to different varieties and surface conditions, keeping performance consistent

across all batches.

Improving food quality and safety

Growing demand for visually perfect and safe food products is reshaping modern potato processing. To meet higher standards, producers are turning to potato sorting machines that combine speed, accuracy, and consistency. Our machines use computer vision, AI, and hyperspectral imaging to analyse each potato in detail. Unlock detection of surface defects, contamination, and maturity levels with precision that goes far beyond manual inspection.

Camera placement for better detection.

360° camera

The high-speed camera with a dual-mirror system captures a full 360-degree view of each potato as it passes through the potato sorting machine. By recording all sides simultaneously, it detects even the smallest surface defects or shape irregularities. This detailed imaging delivers reliable data for quality control, helping optimise performance across the entire sorting process.

Improving & safeguarding food production

Stricter food safety regulations and growing consumer demand for visually perfect, high-quality products are driving the need for advanced sorting technologies. Innovations such as machine vision, AI, and hyperspectral imaging are significantly enhancing sorting precision by detecting subtle defects, contaminants, and optimal ripeness.

Types of ore sorting on our equipment

Setting category criteria

The sorter compares objects to user-defined accept/reject criteria to identify and remove defective products and foreign material (FM) from the production line, or to separate product of different grades or types of materials.

Recognizing pieces with the camera

Depending on the types of sensors used and the software-driven intelligence of the image processing system, optical sorters can recognize an object's characteristics:

color

size

shape

strucaral properties

chemical composition

Sorting into 2+ segments

Compared to manual sorting, which is subjective and incon-sistent, optical sorting helps improve product quality, maximize throughput and increase yields while reducing labor costs.

Uploading material to tape

Loading material onto the belt. 

Separation with grids

Materials are categorized accor-ding to their size. The overall flow flies through several stages, each characterized by the size of the hole in the mesh into which the material can fall.

Sorting into 2 or 6 segments

Compared to manual sorting, which is subjective and incon-sistent, optical sorting helps improve product quality, maximize throughput and increase yields while reducing labor costs.
