Hazelnut sorting and quality selection system
When processing large quantities of hazelnuts, ensuring consistent quality and detecting defects is crucial. Traditional methods may fall short, especially for delineating between raw, shelled, and roasted hazelnuts, and addressing issues such as shape defects or rot.
Select and sort hazelnuts by external quality
The Hazelnut Vision system by Unitec offers a patented method for sorting and selecting hazelnuts with unparalleled accuracy. This system assesses the external quality of both raw shelled and roasted hazelnuts, identifying defects like bug-infested, rotten, oblong, and double kernels. Designed and manufactured entirely in Unitec’s R&D Department, it scans 100% of each hazelnut’s surface, guaranteeing thorough inspection. Unitec’s in-shell hazelnut solutions are also fully manufactured in-house, from mechanical and electronic components to automation and traceability systems. This equipment serves the requirements of both the whole fruit market and sectors utilizing hazelnut grit in confections.
