Series Sorters for Food Processing

Key Technology, an ISO-9001 certified company, is a leading designer and manufacturer of process automation systems, integrated electro-optical inspection and sorting systems, and processing systems. The company offers Optyx? 6000 Series Sorters with Raptor Laser Technology to identify and remove defects and foreign material from the product stream at full production speeds. Featuring a 48-inch wide scan area, one Optyx 6000 with Raptor inspects up to 20,000 pounds (nine metric tonnes) of dried plums per hour. State-of-the-art electronics deliver the same ultra-high resolution as Key?s 24-inch wide Optyx 3000 with Raptor to detect the smallest defects and foreign material. Optyx with Raptor is a versatile platform that can be configured for either single-side or top-and-bottom scanning by multiple sensors including colour, Vis/IR (visible infrared), and monochromatic cameras as well as Raptor Laser Technology and Key?s newest FluoRaptor? fluorescence-sensing laser technology. Application example: Mariani Packing Company, the largest independent processor of dried fruit in the U.S., relies on innovative technology to improve operations. To help assure that customers always receive the highest quality product, the company installed Optyx? 6000 Series Sorters with Raptor Laser Technology to identify and remove defects and foreign material from the product stream at full production speeds.
