Seed And Food Processing Factories

Seed and speciality food lines are graded on purity and on what must never be in the bag. The equipment that gets there is mostly the same as a rice mill uses, set up for a different product and a stricter reject rule.

Reality On Site

Pain Points We Hear

  • Foreign matter such as glass or stone in a food product triggers a recall, not a complaint.
  • Seed germination drops when drying runs too hot.
  • Hand sorting cannot hold a purity specification at volume.
  • Small batches of speciality products mean frequent product changeovers.
  • Powder and granule packing lines leak dust into the room.
Requirements

What The Plant Actually Needs

  • Optical sorting by colour and shape with stored recipes per product
  • Gentle low temperature drying that protects germination
  • Cleaning and grading sieves for mixed particle sizes
  • Oil free compressed air for food contact processes
  • Pouch and sack packing with a documented accuracy class
Process Route

The Seed And Food Processing Factories Process Route

Intake CleaningSieves remove coarse and light impurities from the incoming lot.
DryingLow temperature drying protects germination and product colour.
GradingMulti deck sieving separates the product into size fractions.
Optical SortingBelt or chute sorter removes off colour and foreign material.
Air SupplyOil free compressed air feeds the ejectors without oil carry over.
PackingDoypack or sack packing with weighing accuracy stated per model.

FAQ

Seed And Food Processing Factories Questions

Belt sorter or chute sorter?

A belt sorter feeds the product on a belt so its speed at the scan line is predictable, which suits fragile or irregular products. A chute sorter is the usual choice for free flowing grain and rice.

Can the sorter detect material that is not a colour defect?

Shape sorting is part of the AI series performance index, and infrared or NIR camera assemblies can be specified for material that colour alone cannot separate.

How fast is a product changeover?

Multiple sorting modes are stored on the machine so an operator recalls a saved setup instead of retuning sensitivity by hand.

Do you supply oil free air for food lines?

Yes. The TTC series uses purified water for sealing, cooling and lubrication, so no oil reaches the air stream.
