Hazelnut sorting and quality selection system
Optimize your hazelnut processing with a system designed to detect defects and ensure quality, from whole to roasted and shelled varieties, enhancing product consistency and reducing waste.
Sorts and Grades Hazelnuts with Precision
The Hazelnut Vision system from Unitec is a precise sorting and grading solution for nut processors and confectionery producers. It utilizes advanced defect detection technology to assess the external quality of both raw shelled and roasted hazelnuts, effectively identifying bugged, rotten, or misshaped nuts. Designed for integration into high-speed, continuous operations, it scans 100% of each hazelnut’s surface, ensuring thorough inspection. The system is fully automated, providing rapid and reliable sorting for end-products like whole nuts, shelled nuts, and confectionery fillings. Built with high-quality materials, it offers robust performance suited for demanding industrial environments.
