Whether your mussels come from rope-grown or bottom culture, are fresh, cooked, or frozen, with or without shells — each variety demands a precise and thoughtful sorting solution. With Optimum Sorting’s advanced optical technology, you can rely on thorough and dependable inspection tailored to the specific characteristics of your product.
Unwanted elements such as crabs, starfish, barnacles, seaweed, or byssus threads are effortlessly detected and removed. This ensures a clean end product that meets the highest quality standards in the food industry — delivered with consistency, efficiency, and an uncompromising eye for detail.
With its dual-sided laser inspection, the Ventus sorter redefines precision in mussel processing. Its advanced technology accurately detects subtle structural differences — such as between ‘silvernose’ and mussel meat — ensuring that even the most nuanced defects are identified and removed.
The result? Mussels that meet your highest quality standards, both in appearance and internal structure.
The Novus is available in different sizes. Its maximum scanning width of 2400 mm makes it the widest optical belt sorter on the market. The NOVUS may be used for many different applications: fresh, dried or frozen potato products, fruit and vegetables, crustaceans and shellfish, confectionery and nuts.
The VENTUS may be equipped with up to 16 lasers (and 32 laser detectors). With an impressive laser scanning speed of more than 4000 scans per second, it offers the highest resolution of all laser sorters on the market. In addition, all different laser signals are processed simultaneously by our Multi Dimensional Laser System (MDL) system, which outperforms all other systems.
In order to get an excellent good-to-bad ratio even for the smallest products, you can equip it with a high-resolution valve system: ultra-fast and small blowing jets with a center-to-center distance of 4.6 mm.
