Key Technology introduces its first optical sorting system Optyx WPS for whole potatoes. It provides a three-way sort using a combination of air ejectors to remove foreign materials (FMs) and a unique deflector system to separate potatoes for rework from good potatoes. It also maximizes the removal of foreign material and provides gentle handling to avoid potato damage.
With Key’s proprietary high-performance color cameras with Raptor laser technology, Optyx WPS can sort peeled and peelon product, differentiating peel from scab, bruise, rot, and green defects. The system uses cameras to recognize color, size, and shape to remove potatoes needing re-work based on the presence of peel, scab, or gross defects, as well as those that fail to meet user-defined standards for length, width or shape. It also detects and removes foreign materials based on the structural properties of the material and visible color.
