Sika 1452 FTR497
selected two fully-loaded sorters.
Their belt-fed B140 features top-
and bottom-mounted off-axis
cameras as well as two-sided laser
sensors and Pixel Fusion to achieve
all-sided surface inspection. As
the world’s only belt-fed sorter that
inspects product entirely in-air with
top and bottom sensors, VeryX is
able to see more FM and defects.
The bottom-mounted sensors,
in addition to light sources and
backgrounds, are positioned away
from product splatter so all-sided
surface inspection is sustained
throughout long production cycles
without operator intervention.
Similarly, Antarctic’s chute-fed C140
features front- and rear-mounted
cameras and laser sensors as well
as double-sided Pixel Fusion.
With next-generation 4-channel
cameras, VeryX recognises colours,
sizes and shapes. With highresolution
laser sensors, VeryX
detects structural properties,
including the presence of
chlorophyll. Key’s unique Pixel
Fusion detection module combines
pixel-level input from cameras and
laser sensors, producing higher
contrasts to find the most difficultto
detect FM and defects without
false rejects. These sorters remove
foreign material such as insects,
animal parts, paperboard, wood,
rocks, plastics and glass as well as
extraneous vegetative matter (EVM)
such as weeds from the product
stream. They also find and remove
product defects to make grade.
