Key Technology will be exhibiting their Veryx optical sorter and Zephyr horizontal-motion conveyor, at Interpack, Düsseldorf.

“Food processors worldwide are facing enormous market challenges – fluctuations in crop quality due to extreme weather, increasing defects resulting from stricter legislation on the use of pesticides, widespread labour shortages, consumer demands for higher product quality and more. We’re addressing these issues with our next-generation food processing technologies designed for Industry 4.0 plants,” said Antoine van Bree, President, Key Technology – EMEIA and Asia.

On exhibit at Interpack, Key’s sophisticated Veryx digital sorter finds and removes foreign material (FM) and user-specified defects to protect food safety and ensure product quality while virtually eliminating false rejects and reducing labour requirements. Integrating with Key’s specialized material handling systems, it can be configured to sort fresh, dried and frozen fruits and vegetables, potato products, nuts, confectioneries, pet foods and more. Key Discover software collects, analyses and shares data to reveal patterns and trends that improve sorting and help control upstream and downstream processes.

Horizontal-motion conveyor Zephyr moves product with minimal bounce to protect product quality and reduce noise. Suitable for processing and packaging lines handling frozen foods as well as dry products like potato chips/crisps, nuts and cereals, Zephyr’s motion profile slides and conveys product with no segregation or stratification and reduces product damage and loss of coatings such as seasoning and batter. An optional reversible configuration allows customers to flow product in either direction, maximizing line versatility.
