Defect Removal, Electronic
Key’s electro-optical sorting systems and laser sorters enable processors to enhance marketability and to ensure product integrity, food safety, quality, and appeal to end-users.
Featuring a 1520-mm wide scan area and up to seven cameras and two lasers, Manta 1600 sorts as much as 15 metric tons of product per hour to perfectly match the requirements of most processed vegetable, potato, and fruit production lines.
Manta’s two-meter (79”) wide scan area—the maximum available today—combines with its powerful, modular vision engine to give large-volume processors added throughput and sorting strength. Manta® features the flexibility of camera-only, laser-only or a camera- FluoRaptor™-laser combination for the most comprehensive sort possible.
Inspects product by color, shape, and size in a one-meter- wide (40”) footprint designed for lower-volumes and tight spaces; also used to recover usable rejects for top yield.
Combines precision laser sorting with Optyx® 3000’s color cameras to detect foreign material (FM), such as glass, rocks, insects and other debris in addition to product defects.
Removes defects and FM from the product stream and may be used to reclaim stripped tobacco for further use. Its compact size lets it slip easily into existing layouts.
Sorts product with twice the capacity of the Optyx® 3000 Optical Sorter, exceptional color recognition, and 15 distinct camera configurations to meet specific application needs.
Detects and ejects FM and defective product with cameras, laser technology, and twice the throughput of the Optyx® 3000 Optical Sorter—without precision loss (a Key-only advantage).
Optyx® WPS for whole potatoes achieves a three-way sort using a combination of air ejectors to remove foreign material (FM) and a unique deflector system to separate potatoes for rework from good potatoes.
Provides 360° vision, precisely targeting hidden defects and EVM; handles up to a million objects a minute, ejecting unacceptable material within a millisecond of detection.
Recognizes more than 2 million colors to detect and remove FM and subtle product defects from strip tobacco, tobacco stem and other leafy product (such as tea).
Protects earlier optical sorter investments and extends equipment life and ROI with advanced, updatable G6 modular components and new high-performance cameras.
Updates existing optical inspection systems with the modular electro-optical platform found in all new Optyx® and Tegra® optical sorters, keeping processing lines at peak performance.
Allows maximum ROI for these discontinued systems by updating applicable modules with cutting edge technology, rather than replacing the entire sorter.
Ensures long-term value of existing tobacco inspection equipment. The latest G6 modular technology helps ensure profitability in this competitive, quality-conscious market.
