Color 
Sorter

“Color Sorter is used for optical separation processes of wide range of products from wheat, maize, rice or other grains to the cereals and vegetables ie. lentils, oats, chickpeas, sunflower, seeds in the food industry.

As Satake provides different alternatives and options for color sorting equipment, REZX series color sorter outshines with its technology and advantages for an effective sorting operation.

Application Fields

• Flour and Semolina Mills

• Maize Mills

• Feed Mills

• Grain Intake, Storage and Cleaning Facilities

• Barley, Rye, Oats and similar grain processing plants

• Other Food Processing Plants (Tea, Malt, Peas & Nuts, Coffee, Soybean, Seeds, etc.)

Working Principle

The separation parameters of color, size, shape etc. are preliminarily selected by the operator. As product passes through the separation channels (chutes); the color and dimensional differences

between the product and foreign materials (broken, spoilt and partly damaged particles, etc.) are detected by a high resolution RGB camera. Then the rejected material is eliminated by means of pneumatic ejectors. Different chute numbers are available (1, 2, 4, 6 chutes) according to the capacity, and also with all primary, resort and tertiary sorting options.

Features & Advantages

• Full Color Camera – The machine has Japan’s latest technology full color camera with 0,14 mm/pixel resolution and 16 million different color identification for a very high sensitivity in sorting operation.

• Automatic Defect Profiling – The machine incorporates advanced software to xvaluate color profile of target defects and automatically creates the sensitivity settings.

• Shape Sorting – In addition to the RGB camera, shape sorting technology enables to reject the defects by shape; broken, adhered or malformed etc.

• LED Lighting – is used for an optimum sorting performance with a long lifetime.

• New Ejector Pitch for Precise Sorting – Advance ejector valve pitch 5 mm can provide more precise sorting, and it is effective to reduce the percentage of good the grain in final rejected.

• Three – stage Sorting System Precise sorting is achieved with three stage sorting system (DIS model only), i.e. rejects from primary-sort can be sorted twice to minimize product loss.

• Automatic Sensitivity Calibration – The machine incorporates a patent- pending software ‘Satake Smart Sensitivity’ to automatically create ideal settings. Individual sensitivity adjustment is available for fine-tuning.

• Advanced Touch Screen Simple and innovative user interface is similar to a smart phone or tablet with the touch and flick scrolling with advanced settings and configurations.

Options & Accessories

• Hammer mill feeder

• Temperature monitoring of grinding chamber

• Customized hammer design (flat, notched or jaw) upon requirement
