Bean color sorter machine from China,color sorting processing for legumes,optical sorting for pulses

 

Processing Methods for Dry Peas,Lentils ,Chickpeas and other beans. Once the fild-dried pulseproduct is received at the processing facility it is visually inspected for color and general quality and then loaded into storage bins. Storage of the newly received product is key to quality and optimum preservation of the crop.Each crop requires slightly different storage conditions, so humidity and temperature are controlled to maintain the best conditions for preservation and to eliminate the possibility of pest or fungal infestation. As the product is dropped from the receiving bins for initial air cleaning, magnets are used to attract and remove any metal debris or stones from the product. In addition, many processors conduct a second and fial screening with rare earth magnets to ensure removal of metal before after the product has been bagged.Now color sorting processing for pulses become more and more popular.
After completion of processing,the product is bagged and shipped to the customer. Quality checks vary from one processor to another, including inspection and packaging methods used before shipment.

 

Processing Legumes
Legumes go through several processes before they are ready to be used either as a plated item or as an ingredient in food preparations. These processes can include cleaning, drying, color sorting, splitting, milling,and fractionating. Depending on the pulse and its intended use, other steps like dehulling (decorticating), puffig,roasting,and grinding may be included as well.

 

Color Sorting Solutions for pluses

 

A,whole and split beans:Our Color Sorter effectively remove subtle discolouration and challenging close color defects such as brown,yellow,chalky ,green and skin spots,delivering premium final product.

B,the complete beans:Designed for flexibility,The color sorter are capable of sorting multiple varieties of whole pulses at varying capacity requirements to match a customer's end product requirements.The machine can efficiently remove discoloured,splits ,spots and foreign material such as stones,sticks and mud balls.

Standard procedure of sorter’s operation can be described as follows.

Input product is loaded in the sorter via in-feed hopper.With the help of vibration the material flows along the chute to the distribution channels.Then the product gets into the inspection zone,where it is checked by the high-tech sensors or CCD-cameras.Cameras ,having received the reflected light from the selected material,generate electric signal for computer operating system.

 

Depending on the signals received from the optical system,the computer control system sends the command to open the pneumatic valve(the ejector)which blows away grains different in color.The good product directly flows into the goods product hopper.The reject is blown off to the discharging hopper.

 

 

Most of the sorters have the re-pass option ensuring more accurate sorting of the grain and minimizing losses of the good product.

 

 

RC series RGB color sorter advantage

with a resolution of 0.1mm.

Defect size can also be controlled and adjusted according to needs.

3,Shape size sorting integrated into the system

Size: Under and over sized objects for greater value

Shape: Misshapen product and foreign material of the same color

Color: Color defects by individual or combined defect area

4,LED-lightning system

Exclusively designed , LED lighting system allows the most precise focusing of the beam on the inspection line.

5,User friendly setting with image acquisition
Program setting and adjustment are performed through a user–friendly software which allows the acquisition of the product image to easily establish the defective elements to sort out.

6,Reliable electronics hardware

The hardware is organized in easily replaceable electronic boards,

using the ultimate FPGA technology;

Self-control functions, such as auto-diagnosis and auto-calibration are standard on any sorters;

Back-up of the operating software by USB on board.
