Optical Sorter Assembly And Run Test Before Shipment
A batch of chute type optical sorters built for grain and food processors ordering through TITAN agents in several markets.
What The Site Needed
Sorters commissioned for the first time on a customer's site absorb days of support. The machines had to arrive with their optics, ejectors and control software already proven.
Customer Pain Points
- First start up problems discovered thousands of kilometres from the factory
- Ejector response drifting between machines of the same model
- Operators facing an unfamiliar interface on day one
- Air supply on site sized without reference to the machine's consumption figure
What Was Supplied
Machines were assembled in line on the workshop floor, wired, loaded with the sorting software and run tested before packing. Air consumption and pressure figures for each model were issued with the machine so the customer could size the compressor before arrival.

Manufacturing Process
- Cabinet, chute and feeder assembly on the production line
- Camera and lighting alignment for the sorting channel
- Ejector bank fitted and response checked against the control board
- Software loaded and the sorting modes configured for the ordered product
Shipping And Sequencing
Ejectors and spare blocks packed with each machine, with foam lined cartons for single blocks and plywood cases for commercial quantities.
Quality ControlChecks That Were Made
Each machine run tested on product before packing, with the touch screen interface, alarms and machine status reporting checked as part of the test.
What The Plant Got
Machines that arrive configured, with saved sorting modes and a documented air demand.
Why It Matters Day To Day
Commissioning time on site drops to installation, air connection and a product specific adjustment instead of a full setup.
