Optical sorter for grain and seed sorting
Ensure precise defect detection and efficient sorting of grains, pulses, and seeds with advanced optical technology, maximizing quality control in your production line while minimizing manual intervention.

Detects and Sorts Defective and Foreign Materials
The DA MultiVision Optical Sorter from Bühler Group is designed to elevate sorting efficiency for food and plastic processors. Equipped with high-resolution RGB cameras and automatic calibration, this machine identifies up to five distinct defects in a single pass, minimizing re-sorting and enhancing throughput. It serves versatile applications, including grain, spice, seed, and plastic processing, producing end-products such as white rice, paprika powder, and plastic granules. Operating continuously with high speed and automatic adjustments, it integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, storing up to 100 sorting modes for diverse product demands. With robust LED lighting and machine-learning features, the DA MultiVision offers precision detection while reducing energy consumption. Available in materials suited for food safety standards, it ensures sustained performance with global support for parts and service.
