Over the past four years, the
optical sorters of the Z Series have set the standard in the field of sorting. And now
Buhler has further raised it by rolling
out the SORTEX Z+.
Sortex, the Buhler Optical Sorting business unit, has been a
global leader in sorting technology since it was founded in
1947. Time and again, the company has pioneered new technologies
and thereby boosted the effectiveness and efficiency of the
world’s food processing industry.
Newest generation
The SORTEX Z+ recently launched is the newest generation of
optical sorters. The device is an inspired combination of
advanced camera technology, intuitive operating features, and
user friendliness that takes sorting to an entirely new level of
sophistication and efficiency. The new Buhler
SORTEX Z+ offers
better efficiency and lower running costs than ever before – and
with a greater range of customization to specific needs. “With
the SORTEX Z+,” explains Sortex Managing Director Bruno Kilshaw,
‘‘we have pushed the technology still further to levels of
efficiency where the highest quality can be achieved time after
time as a matter of course.”
Higher-resolution cameras
The exciting and innovative features of the new
SORTEX Z+
include especially: Highly developed camera technology: At the
heart of the new optical sorter is its camera power –
monochromatic and bichromatic cameras that can detect color
defects in visible or infrared wavelengths. With the highest
possible resolution and signal-to-noise ratio available today,
the SORTEX Z+ cameras can detect and reject even the smallest
defects. PROfile shape recognition: The combination of these
most advanced cameras and PROfile shape recognition technology
enables the detection of a very wide range of foreign material,
extraneous vegetable matter, small spot defects, fine product
damage, and subtle differences in color. Ease of use: Operators
require minimum training to get the best possible performance
from the SORTEX Z+. Operation of the machine is further
facilitated by a colored, intuitive user interface.
First choice
The Z Series was introduced only four years ago. Ever since, it
has become established in more than 60 countries as first choice
for sorting a wide variety of products – from cereal grains and
coffee to tea, beans, pulses, nuts, and nonfood products such as
plastics.
