Key Technology’s Pixel Fusion has been launched to help nut and dried fruit processors meet requirements for product quality and purity.
By providing a clear distinction between good product, shell, foreign material (FM), defects and different colour grades, Pixel Fusion improves the accuracy of digital sorting.
This effectiveness reduces the number of sorting passes required to make grade and virtually eliminates false rejects.
Veryx sorters equipped with Pixel Fusion identify and remove loose and embedded shell fragments, membrane material, broken nuts, product with surface scratches or insect damage, moisture-related defects, mouldy product, colour-based defects and FM including wood chips, stems, rocks, glass and more to satisfy consumers’ zero-tolerance for impurities.
Pixel Fusion combines input from Key’s cameras and laser sensors. The four-channel cameras distinguish millions of different colours, which enable accurate colour grading and detection of colour-based defects as well as the size and shape of each object.
The laser scanners recognise the structural properties of each object’s surface for FM detection as well as product texture and moisture analysis.
