“How can you sort nuts with maximum precision and minimal waste?” If there\u2019s one thing we\u2019ve learned over the years, it\u2019s that nut sorting<\/strong> requires a tailored approach; and it comes with its fair share of challenges. Fortunately, technology never stands still. Today\u2019s advanced sorting systems empower producers to boost efficiency, maximize yield, and significantly reduce food waste. And that\u2019s not just good for business, it\u2019s good for the planet too. In this article, we introduce you to 5 cutting-edge technologies<\/strong> that will help you sort nuts more accurately than ever before. Ready for a smarter approach? Let\u2019s dive in. <\/em><\/p>\r\n

\"Different<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Which optical nut sorter is best suited for your challenges?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n

For those who need to sort large quantities of nuts on a daily basis, our Ventus laser sorter<\/strong><\/a> <\/span>often represents the preferred choice. Thanks to its unique design, it excels at handling the specific challenges associated with processing various types of nuts<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, including almonds, pistachios, and hazelnuts. Let\u2019s explore some of the standout features of this all-round optical nut sorter:<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n
  1. High capacity: t<\/strong>he Ventus stands out as the widest laser sorter in its category, boasting a width of up to 1800 mm (71 in). This makes it possible to handle a large volume of nuts with just a single machine.<\/li>\r\n
  2. Superior resolution: t<\/strong>he laser beams standardly integrated into a Ventus ensure an exceptionally high resolution of just 0.3 mm (0.012 in), the highest of any laser sorter on the market. This allows for the detection of even the smallest impurities.<\/li>\r\n
  3. Double-sided inspection:<\/strong> the free-fall mechanism\u00a0allows the nuts to be inspected from both sides, giving you an instant, complete overview of your entire product.<\/li>\r\n
  4. Flexibility:<\/strong> Due to its clever design and user interface, a single Ventus machine can handle sorting numerous types of nuts like cashews, walnuts, almonds, and pistachios. The machine easily adjusts to the desired sorting criteria, perfectly suited to your nut variety.<\/li>\r\n
  5. Precision ejection system:<\/strong> the ejection system with air pressure valves removes defects with exceptional precision, outperforming competitors and ensuring even better elimination of impurities.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

    \"Ventus<\/p>\r\n

    The laser technology of our Ventus is capable of many things… but not everything. Thankfully, the Novus belt sorter<\/strong><\/a><\/span>\u00a0can fill in those gaps. This optical nut sorter mainly relies on camera technology, making it ideal for sorting based on the shape and color of your nuts. This is especially useful for sorting walnuts or almonds. Only those with an intact shape or the desired color are sorted out.<\/p>\r\n

     <\/p>\r\n

    Five smart innovations for superior nut sorting<\/h3>\r\n\r\n

    The camera and laser technology in our optical nut sorters<\/strong><\/a><\/span>\u00a0is continually being refined to achieve even greater precision and effectiveness. In recent years, this has led to several groundbreaking innovations. Read on to discover how you can benefit from these advancements..<\/p>\r\n

    \u00a0<\/h4>\r\n

    1. Topological Data Analysis (TDA)<\/h4>\r\n

    Conventional optical nut sorters can analyze a maximum of 3 laser signals at once. Thanks to the technology called TDA<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, we can bring this analysis a step further by using up to\u00a06 laser signals<\/strong>\u00a0at the same time. This provides a highly detailed representation of each object with submillimeter resolution (in 6D rather than 3D). Combining more data allows for better identification of specific defects and a more complete overview of the sorted batch. TDA uses Topological Data Analysis, a technique based on the mathematical study of shapes and patterns.<\/p>\r\n

    Thanks to TDA,\u00a0the contrasts in your product are displayed much more accurately<\/strong>, making it easier for the sorting machine to detect defects. By enhancing contrast, TDA can identify even the smallest irregularities and helps minimize the rejection of good products. The result? Less waste, greater efficiency, and increased profitability.<\/p>\r\n

    Where traditional systems fall short, TDA steps in with unmatched precision.\u00a0Webbing<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0pinholes<\/em>\u00a0in\u00a0almonds<\/strong>? Twigs and sticks hiding among\u00a0pistachios<\/strong>? TDA sees what others miss. And when it comes to\u00a0walnuts<\/strong>? That\u2019s where TDA turns good into exceptional. Detection of\u00a0butterballs<\/em> rises from 75% to 85%, a leap forward that truly makes a difference.<\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=”large” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” text=”Read more > Learn all about TDA” url=”\/en\/tda-technology\/”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\r\n

    \"Visualisation<\/p>\r\n

    2. AflaSort aflatoxin detection<\/h4>\r\n

    AflaSort uses laser technology to identify traces of harmful aflatoxin<\/strong> in batches of nuts. Using Deep Blue laser light, aflatoxin residues will fluoresce in various colors. Products free from aflatoxin contamination remain undetected by AflaSort.<\/p>\r\n

    Due to the high sensitivity of our laser technology, AflaSort can detect even the tiniest amounts of aflatoxin residue. By identifying and removing fluorescent nuts, AflaSort drastically reduces the amount of aflatoxin in your sorted batch. This results in higher quality and a safer product for consumption.<\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=”large” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” text=”Read more > Learn all about AflaSort” url=”\/en\/aflasort-solution\/”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\r\n

     <\/p>\r\n

    3. H-TEC hyperspectral imaging<\/h4>\r\n

    The technology behind H-TEC<\/strong> advances beyond TDA and AflaSort, fully harnessing the power of hyperspectral imaging<\/strong>. H-TEC uses light across the full range of wavelengths, from the visible (VIS) to the near-infrared (NIR) (350-1700 nm). In total, H-TEC examines up to 16 wavelengths \u2013 providing incredibly detailed imaging that essentially turns your product inside out. Thanks to its unique technology, H-TEC has a resolution that is up to 25% higher<\/strong> than most other players in the market. In contrast to \u2018regular\u2019 RGB imaging, which show only color, shape, and size, hyperspectral imaging offers detailed insights into the deeper composition and characteristics of objects.<\/p>\r\n

    Each material absorbs and reflects light differently, creating a unique spectral signature or ‘fingerprint.’ With this technology, you can accurately identify and differentiate products, even objects that appear similar to the naked eye, such as almonds and their shells. Thanks to the power of H-TEC, you can greatly enhance your sorting performance.<\/p>\r\n

    \"Visualisation<\/p>\r\n

    \u00a0<\/h3>\r\n

    4. Defect Return System (DRS)<\/h4>\r\n

    The principle behind a Defect Return System (DRS) is simple: you run your nuts through the sorting process more than once<\/strong>, possibly several times. Why does this matter? Real-world experience shows there\u2019s always a risk that a good product was mistakenly rejected, for example, because its scan was obstructed by another product.<\/p>\r\n

    By sending the rejected products (or some of them) back to the start of the sorting belt, the sorting process can be repeated. This technology allows for a significant reduction in false rejections, thus preventing waste. DRS is a solution often applied to pecans and walnuts.<\/p>\r\n

     <\/p>\r\n

    5. S-TEC bottom-view cameras<\/h4>\r\n

    To conclude our series of innovations, we focus on S-TEC. This technology focuses on the use of cameras and is therefore only applicable to the Novus belt sorter from Optimum Sorting. When sorting nuts by color or shape, camera sorting has proven to be the most effective. The nuts placed on a sorting belt can be inspected from all sides… except the bottom, as the camera’s view cannot reach throughout the belt. Optimum Sorting has naturally come up with a solution to tackle this final challenge: the S-TEC module.<\/p>\r\n

    S-TEC consists of an additional camera<\/strong>, placed in such a way so it can allow the sorting software to inspect the bottom side of nuts. The ‘S’ refers to ‘sixth side\u2019, as S-TEC allows inspection of all six sides of a cube. These include the five visible sides from the top and the sixth side from the bottom. The S-TEC technology has already proven to be very useful in sorting almonds, walnuts, and cashews, among others.<\/p>\r\n

     <\/p>\r\n

    Which defects can our optical nut sorters detect?<\/h3>\r\n

    Thanks to these technological innovations, our optical nut sorters can now identify the widest possible range of defects. This makes sure that only the finest products will end up in the hands of your end customers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
