MEYER optical sorting machines

Optical sorter for safety, quality and efficiency

The first step towards a safe and high-quality food product starts with raw materials. Despite the use of mechanical sieving and aspiration, raw materials may still contain unwanted impurities. The solution is the optical sorter from Meyer, a state-of-the-art sorting technology with high precision and a capacity of 0.5 to 3 t/h.

Real-time contamination detection

Meyer optical systems identify unwanted materials such as glass, plastic, stones, as well as damaged and infected grains. They are equipped with:

  • High-resolution cameras that distinguish color and shape of raw materials
  • Infrared imaging systems that detect low-contrast contaminants
  • Full-spectrum lighting systems for precise visual analysis

Based on the morphology of the material, the system automatically separates high-quality raw materials from impurities, without the need for manual adjustment. The use of Maglev ejectors and precision algorithms enables sorting even of the smallest seeds, such as TEFF.

The sorter is suitable for cereals, seeds, legumes, dried fruits and vegetables. In addition to the food industry, it is also used in plastic recycling, metal recycling, and the processing of complex materials.

FAQ

Yes. MEYER optical sorters can be integrated into existing production lines, providing efficient sorting solutions without disrupting ongoing operations. MEYER technology is adaptable to different production setups, ensuring accurate and reliable sorting.

MEYER optical sorters, equipped with advanced AI deep learning systems, can precisely analyse variations in the shape and size of materials. This technology enables the machines to efficiently remove broken, undersized or damaged beans, while also identifying and eliminating other contaminants such as sticks or leaves.

These systems help ensure that each batch is thoroughly cleaned and consistent in quality.

Yes. MEYER sorters can accurately detect even subtle colour differences in coffee beans, enabling the removal of both over-roasted and under-roasted beans. Thanks to advanced UHD cameras and AI algorithms, these machines can precisely sort beans to help ensure a consistent roast profile across the entire batch.
