Spray Optical Sorting Machines

Spray is an optical sorting machine with the highest resolution cameras to examine the product on the conveyor belt. The system is used to check whole or cut agro-food products: Fruit and Vegetables.

Spray can dispose of color defects, marked produce and foreign bodies also the same color as the good product. The product is fed on the inspection belt used to stabilize the product so it doesn't roll off. The inspection zone is clearly separated from the ejection zone to avoid product sprays which can prejudice selection over time.

Spray is equipped with an air reject system with 176 electrically controlled ejection valves. It can have a single ejection system, or in 3Way mode, can have two reject systems that differentiate unusable produce from defects considered the second choice. TECHNOLOGY:
