Optical sorting platform for food processing

For manufacturers aiming to enhance quality control, this platform offers precise sorting and defect detection, ensuring only optimum products proceed down the line, minimizing waste and maximizing uptime.

Sorts and Inspects Food Products Efficiently

The VERYX 2.0 Optical Sorting Platform from Key Technology is engineered to elevate your food processing capabilities through precise and reliable sorting. With both chute-fed and belt-fed options, it uses cutting-edge sensor technology and machine algorithms to differentiate defects and foreign materials in a wide array of food products. Ideal for applications in confectionery, dairy, dried fruit, nuts, and more, the VERYX 2.0 optimizes throughput by maintaining high performance even under heavy defect loads. Its smart self-adjusting system minimizes operator intervention, while predictive system diagnostics enhance operational uptime. Integration into existing production lines is seamless due to its automation-ready architecture, and operators benefit from its multi-sensor pixel fusion which ensures comprehensive product inspection. Designed with clean-in-place (CIP) capabilities, it simplifies maintenance while adhering to rigorous food safety standards, making it a preferred choice for high-demand food processing environments.

Benefits

  • Maximizes sorting accuracy with sustained total product surface inspection.
  • Enhances operational efficiency by reducing the need for operator intervention.
  • Maintains performance at high defect loads, ensuring consistent product quality.
  • Extends equipment lifespan through predictive system diagnostics.
  • Minimizes contamination risks with integrated clean-in-place (CIP) system.
