Key Technology, Walla Walla, WA, has introduced VERYX® belt-fed digital sorters to complement the chute-fed version of the VERYX launched last year. With a highly innovative mechanical architecture, sustainable all-sided surface inspection, multi-sensor Pixel Fusion™, the highest resolution cameras and laser sensors available on a digital sorter and extreme ease-of-use, VERYX is claimed to maximise foreign material (FM) and defect detection and removal while virtually eliminating false rejects. Believed to be the world’s most intelligent sorter, VERYX improves product quality, increases yields and reduces the need for human intervention. It is mainly intended for food industry applications.

 

 “Our next-generation VERYX sorters achieve more accurate discrimination – they detect additional kinds of defects and smaller defects; at the same time they sacrifice almost no good product to the reject stream. More intelligent automated decision-making minimises the need for operator interaction and helps maintain optimal sorting performance,” said product manager Marco Azzaretti. Key Technology’s European head office is in Beusichem, the Netherlands. www.key.net
