Laser sorting explained: the smart way to achieve peak performance<\/h3>\r\n\r\n

Optimum Sorting has years of experience in sorting potato products<\/strong><\/a><\/span> using advanced camera technology. These high-performance cameras accurately detect variations in color and shape, making them ideal for analyzing a product\u2019s exterior, including length, shape and color. Yet some critical defects remain invisible to the camera\u2019s eye…<\/p>\r\n

Laser sorting delivers an innovative solution. Unlike cameras, lasers inspect the interior of your potatoes, revealing a whole new spectrum of defects. This technology lets you go deeper and sort with unmatched precision. Too hard or too soft, too wet or too dry? Laser sorting identifies these differences with exceptional accuracy and makes the right decisions. Read on to discover how this technology sets a new standard for product quality and food safety.<\/p>\r\n

Detecting foreign material in fries<\/h3>\r\n

Laser technology offers a distinct advantage in sorting fries<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. Unlike camera systems, which only inspect the surface, lasers analyze the internal structure of each fry. This is crucial for detecting foreign material<\/strong> that can slip into the product stream during processing. By analyzing laser beam reflections, we accurately determine an object\u2019s density, enabling us to identify:<\/p>\r\n
