SORTON X-RAY

EXPERT SHELL AND CONTAMINATION INSPECTION FOR INTERNAL DEFECTS OF NUTS
Optional AI deep learning sorting system can reject foreign materials such as metal, glass, stone, etc. as well as inspection of internal defects of nuts, such as moldy, empty, wrinkled, etc.
Equipped with a large vibrator, it ensures more even transfer of materials such as pepper, etc.
Optional 0.4 mm TDI, 0.2 mm TDI, 0.1 mm TDI detectors can detect foreign impurities, nut quenching, spotted nut detection, and internal molds and wormholes of macadamia nuts, sunflower seeds, etc.

Tanis Sorton X-Ray: Superior Quality Control with Internal Structure Analysis


Selection Technology That Detects the Invisible
External appearance alone is not always enough to classify seeds, grains, and agricultural products. Internal deterioration, worm damage, voids, or rot that are invisible can cause serious issues, especially in high-quality and export-oriented productions.

The Tanis Sorton X-Ray analyzes the internal structure of products, ensuring only sound grains continue along the production line.


Working Principle
Products are aligned in single rows from the feeding hopper and pass through the X-ray scanning area. Low-energy X-rays analyze internal density. Products with voids, worms, rot, or structural abnormalities are identified by the software.

Defective products are separated within milliseconds by integrated air ejectors, ensuring only sound products proceed.


Application Areas
The Tanis Sorton X-Ray is ideal for internal quality-critical applications:

  • Removal of empty or hollow seeds, especially hybrid seeds

  • Detection of wormy, internally darkened, or deteriorated grains

  • Separation of legumes with rotten kernels

  • Selection of seeds with sound external surfaces but defective internal structures

  • Advanced quality control in certified production lines

  • Product classification meeting export standards
