Color, structure, size, shape and ... Biological detection

The laser sorter provides you with the best solution for increasing the quality of your product.
It has proved to be far superior to other sorting methods: with a speed and precision that nobody else can offer, invisible foreign bodies, such as glass, or defects with exactly the same color as the good product are detected.

The laser sorters are used for applications that require both color and structure sorting like raisins, shrimps, vegetables, fruit, tobacco and nuts. Laser scanning detects contaminants even when the products and the defects have the same color. The patented scattering and “fluo” principles give the operator high discriminating power. Ultra fast air ejectors are used to remove defects from the product flow. The use of different types of lasers provides unmatched flexibility in sorting different types of products. BEST’s FLUO technology provides a very high sorting efficiency, combined with an extremely low level of false reject.

Our laser machines sort based on color, structure, size and shape differences. On top of these “traditional sorting techniques”, our machine is now able to sort based on biological characteristics. Those biological features are invisible with the human eye but sometimes dangerous for the health, such as aflatoxin in nuts and figs. Thanks to the FLUO technique, it is also possible to screen chlorophyll containing products like lettuce, spinach, peas or other green vegetables for foreign material contamination with minimal loss of good product.
