Further Details:

All food processing/ production lines will have some or the other process or natural defects. Colour defects like under-baked or enrobed, burnt, and size defects such as broken/ protruding nut in a snack bar or shape defects may occur during the production. All such flaws can be easily detected by our well engineered AUTOSORT MC-E720. Its user-friendly graphical interface assists the operator to set colour, shape and size limits as per the specific requirement. Products upto 24 number can be stored with one-touch change over, which is ideal for the current short batch-run production demands. These colour sorters are versatile, and can be fixed to existing lines as new builds easily.

The MC-E720 is designed to ensure higher sorting efficiency of complete itemized products, just before automated packaging machine. The products are moved by conveyor to an illuminated section in which a rapid sequence of lights acquire "more than colour" information from the product. Extremely close and similar colours can be easily identified. There is a fast acting 2048 - pixel line scan camera which inspects the sample. After that, information in the camera is processed by the Radix 'Snapshot' processor.

Easy and efficient graphical set-up enables the user to train the system for shape, size and colour defects. Rejected or defective items are easily removed by short puffs of air coming from ejectors, which are mounted beside the conveyor.

Benefits

No process is perfect, there is always one or more faulty product on the production line. Once the defective items are removed, the Value & Quality of finished products is highly increased. Therefore, clients' grievances are reduced and reputation is enhanced. High speed packaging systems demand tight tolerance so that jamming and downtime can be avoided. Thus, Autosort MC-E fitted right before packing system fulfill this purpose.
