Optyx Digital Sorter
The Optyx digital sorter on exhibit at FoodPro detects and ejects defects and foreign material (FM) from the product stream to improve product quality and food safety while maximizing yield.
Optyx is a versatile belt-fed sorter that can be equipped with color cameras or cameras-and-lasers to recognize each object's size, shape, color, and structural properties. Key can also equip Optyx with a fluorescence-sensing laser to detect chlorophyll levels. Optyx can be configured for traditional two-way sorting or optional three-way sorting.
Optyx 3000 can sort up to 5 metric tons of product an hour, and Optyx 6000 can sort up to 10 metric tons an hour. It is ideal for a wide range of fresh or frozen fruits, vegetables, berries, whole potatoes, potato strips, potato chips and other snack foods, nuts, confections, seafood, and more.
