What is color sorting?

Color sorting, also known as color separation or optical sorting, is a crucial process in various industries, including food processing, recycling, and manufacturing, where precise sorting of materials is essential. This technology enables the separation of items based on their color using advanced optical sensors.

At Techik, we take color sorting to the next level with our state-of-the-art inspection and sorting equipment. Our solutions are designed not only to sort products by color but also to detect and remove foreign contaminants, defects, and quality issues from raw materials to packaged products.

How Techik Color Sorting Works:
Feeding: The material—whether grains, seeds, fruits, or packaged goods—is fed into our color sorter via a conveyor belt or vibrating feeder.

Optical Inspection: As the material moves through the machine, it is illuminated by a high-precision light source. Our high-speed cameras and optical sensors capture detailed images of the items, analyzing their color, shape, and size with unmatched accuracy.

Processing: The advanced software in Techik’s equipment processes these images, comparing the detected color and other characteristics with pre-set criteria. Our technology goes beyond just color, identifying defects, foreign objects, and quality variances.

Ejection: When an item does not meet the desired standards—whether due to color inconsistency, foreign contaminants, or defects—our system swiftly activates air jets or mechanical ejectors to remove it from the product stream. The remaining items, now sorted and inspected, continue on their path, ensuring the highest quality output.

Comprehensive Solutions from Raw Material to Packaging:
Techik’s inspection and sorting solutions are designed to cover every stage of the production process, from raw materials to the final packaged product. Whether you’re dealing with agricultural products, packaged foods, or industrial materials, our equipment ensures that only the highest quality items make it through, free from contaminants and defects.

By integrating Techik’s color sorters into your production line, you can achieve superior product quality, reduce labor costs, and increase overall efficiency—delivering top-notch results that set you apart in the market.
