Optical Sorting machines for colour sorting of Grains – Cereals and Pulses

The Agri-processing industry has strict quality control measures that are both self-imposed and government-mandated. Grains that are discolored, broken, misshapen or adulterants deteriorate the quality of the agricultural produce. Optical sorting machines solve a two-fold challenge of ensuring high-quality standards while maintaining high production throughput.

YantraVision offers a complete Optical Sorting solution that includes Sensor integration – RGB & IR, FPGA processor, Algorithms, Ejector driver and Illumination. We work along with OEMs from blueprint to deployment. Some of the key metrics that we drive are –

  • High throughput per chute – 1.5 tonnes per hour
  • Reject ratio upwards of 20:1
  • High % of bagging in primary & secondary
