EVOLUTION SERIES

Both the human eye and the EVOLUTION RGB detect color through three wavelengths (red, green, and blue), enabling the sorter to match the eye’s ability to see true color. The EVOLUTION RGB employs 16 million color, high-resolution cameras and long-lasting LED lighting to identify and remove defects. It functions similarly to the human eye, detecting even the smallest color deviations that need to be rejected. Additionally, it utilizes size and shape sorting to eliminate challenging defects of the same color, showcasing its advanced technology that can benefit businesses looking for effective solutions in quality control.

After extensive research and development by our engineering team, along with insights gathered from customer requirements, the EVOLUTION now comes fully integrated with size and shape sorting technology. This enhancement allows the EVOLUTION to distinguish acceptable products from same-color reject contamination, making it an invaluable tool for businesses in the agricultural sector. The proprietary, advanced algorithm software takes the industry-standard platform to the next level, ensuring high precision. Most defects can be detected using the custom full-color RGB cameras, but for difficult-to-see foreign materials, the size and shape software provides additional assurance, making it a reliable choice for consulting services in sorting technologies.

The EVOLUTION MIR (Multi-wavelength Infrared) optical sorter employs multiple bands of infrared (IR) to detect and remove the highest level of foreign material and other rejects that color and shape may not identify. The MIR is an excellent option for superior sorting performance, suitable for high-capacity infrared sorting platforms.

EVOLUTION Benefits:

- The RGB full-color series is ideal for multiple-colored applications or minor shade differences.

- The MIR sorter line is configured to remove defects in the challenging IR wavelengths.

- Combining both the full-color RGB and multi-wavelength IR technology provides industry-standard detection.

- Proprietary image capture processing software has the ability to pinpoint defects and remove them accurately.

- No lamp or optical filter changes are required during product changeover.

- Improved high-capacity material handling system, up to 50% more capacity.

- High ejector density design focuses on concentrating the rejected fraction.

- Movable screen to observe defect image data during product setup.

"The EVOLUTION is the ideal platform and series of sorters for detecting and sorting/separating by subtle shade and color differences, speck defects, foreign material, insect damage, mold, decaying product, etc., making it essential for any business development effort in quality assurance."

Applications:

- Agriculture – Tree nuts, peanuts, edible beans, coffee beans, corn, maize, soybeans, pulses, vegetable seeds, plastics, wheat, barley, chickpeas, etc.

- Bulk Solids – PET flakes, plastic regrind and flake, virgin and recycled plastics, pellets, metals, minerals, and other bulk solids.
