NEW SORT-TO-GRADE
CAPABILITIES
Key Technology, a member of the Duravant family of operating companies, introduces its
new Sort-to-Grade (STG) software for VeryX digital sorters.
The patented STG software, field proven for potato strips, is now available for more food
sorting applications including fresh and processed fruits and vegetables as well as nuts.
Compared to traditional sorting strategies, where a series of one-off accept/reject
decisions are made based on fixed selection criteria, a STG-enabled sorter dynamically
evaluates each decision based on how it impacts the aggregate ‘in the bag’ grade, as
defined by the processor.
Controlling the output for defect categories of various severity and/or product
dimensions, STG accurately delivers the most complex final product specifications
without operator intervention, while increasing yields by one to three percent.
