Key Technology will exhibit its Python laser sorter and Impulse® electromagnetic conveyor at Interpack Hall 02 / Stand C11. Representing the single most complete source of high performance digital sorting, specialized conveying, and process automation systems for food processors and other manufacturers, the Python and Impulse on exhibit help improve product quality and production efficiencies.
Key is showcasing its complete line of digital sorters, which feature advanced laser, camera, and field-proven BioPrintT hyperspectral imaging with intelligent software to satisfy many applications on a variety of belt- and chute-fed sorting platforms.
These sorters complement Key's specialized conveying and processing systems, integration services, and global customer support. Deep processing knowledge and application expertise maximize the value of each solution to each customer.
Python Smart Laser Sorter
Python is a smart laser sorter that removes foreign material (FM), extraneous vegetative matter (EVM), and defects based on size, shape, color, and structure to improve product quality while increasing yield. Python combines laser sorter features with complex shape recognition via its transparent, backlit chute. This unique design, combined with the latest image processing technologies and intelligent software and algorithms, allow for crisp, industry-leading analysis of complex contours as well as any combination of length, width, ratio, and area to fine-tune product quality.
Python's backlit chute embodies all features of Key's proprietary Chycane® chute, which feeds product in a perfect monolayer with a consistent trajectory to the laser optics and ejection valves. This optimized product control maximizes sorting and ejection efficiency, which increases overall yield.
The chute-fed Python sorter offers a small footprint, low maintenance with no moving parts, a sanitary design, full stainless steel/IP65, and an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI). It is ideal for fresh, dried, and frozen fruits and vegetables as well as nuts and confections.
