New x-ray, metal detection & vision inspection systems
Key Technology, a member of the Duravant family, introduced VERYX digital sorters, equipped with the company’s patented Sort-to-Grade (STG) software for wet and frozen potato strips. STG recognizes and categorizes every surface defect and its dimensional characteristics to make each accept/reject decision based on how it will impact the aggregate “in the bag” grade as defined by the processor. STG profiles the length of each potato strip as well as any surface defects that may appear on the potato strip. VERYX with STG can be programmed to reject strips that are too short or too long for the grade while managing the distribution of strip lengths within multiple user-defined categories (length bins) between those two absolutes.
