Sesame Sorting Machine
Hebei Julite Sorting Technology Co., Ltd. offers its Sesame Sorting Machine, an optical sorter designed to separate sesame seeds by color, size, and shape to meet the strict purity standards of food, oil, and nutraceutical markets.
Sorting Workflow
Feeding and Singulation:
Seeds are evenly spread in a single layer on a narrow conveyor belt using an adjustable distribution head, ensuring individual seed inspection.High-Resolution Imaging:
The sorting zone is illuminated by LED arrays, and CMOS cameras capture high-definition images of each seed. The machine analyzes color, geometry, and surface defects.Defect Detection Algorithms:
Built-in software compares each seed’s image data to preset criteria for discolored, chipped, or off-shade seeds. Customizable thresholds allow processors to define acceptable tolerances.Air-Jet Ejection:
Precisely timed air nozzles eject defective seeds from the belt, directing them into a reject container, while acceptable seeds continue to the main collection hopper.Final Quality Verification:
An optional secondary inspection station provides redundancy, ensuring that minute defects are captured before packaging.
Machine Highlights
High Throughput: Capable of processing up to 2 t/h, depending on seed size and defect tolerance settings.
User-Friendly Interface: A touchscreen HMI allows parameter configuration, data logging, and recipe management for different sesame varieties.
Sanitary Design: All components in contact with seeds are made of food-grade stainless steel or FDA-approved polymers. Quick-release guards and tool-free access panels simplify sanitation.
Built-In Diagnostics: Integrated sensors monitor belt speed, air pressure, and camera alignment, alerting operators to maintenance needs before performance degrades.
Benefits for Sesame Processors
Uniform Appearance: Removes discolored, broken, or foreign seeds to produce visually consistent batches, important for packaged foods and oilseed markets.
Reduced Manual Labor: Automated defect detection and ejection minimize the need for manual inspection and sorting.
Data-Driven Quality Control: Sorting statistics and reject rates are logged for traceability and continuous improvement efforts.
Hebei Julite Sorting Technology Co., Ltd. provides full project support—site evaluation, installation, staff training, and preventive-maintenance services—so sesame processors can maintain high-purity output and meet stringent market requirements.
