The VistaSort Color Sorter delivers precise color selection that meets the toughest industry standards.
Working with top LED manufacturers, we’ve developed advanced lighting technology that takes color sorting to a whole new level.
Combined with an optimized optical system and German camera technology, our equipment achieves an excellent signal-to-noise ratio which produces stable, consistent performance.
The user-friendly interface makes it easy for anyone level of operator, regardless of experience, and multilingual support ensures smooth communication for all VistaSort customers.
We offer high-performance colour sorting systems ranging from 1-chute to 10-chute models, ideal for everything from seed processing labs to full-scale commercial operations.
For small-capacity needs, our VistaSort Mini Sorter delivers precision colour sorting in a compact footprint, perfect for seed plots, research labs, and specialty sorting applications.
The VistaSort Color Sorter will remove foreign material (sticks, debris, stones), color defects (caused by disease, immaturity or moisture damage), splits, and undecorticated seeds in Pulse Crops such as Lentils, Beans and Peas. In recent testing and VistaSort installations we have found excellent results for our customers with Grass and Forage Seeds. These small and light seeds are our newest success stories. Defining the product by color, shape and size.
In Cereal Grains, we can remove all types of contaminants (sticks, hulls, stones), ergot, foreign material (i.e. wild oats), discolored seeds, and immature and diseased kernels.
Often there is little difference to distinguish between the good and undesired materials. The VistaSort achieves the highest standard of sorting in the industry.
VistaSort colour sorters combine high-resolution RGB cameras and optional infrared vision to detect even the most subtle differences in colour, disease, damage, or contamination. Whether you’re removing ergot, wild oats, immature kernels, or foreign material, our system delivers industry-leading seed cleaning accuracy.
With single to ten chute models available, VistaSort colour sorting systems are custom-fit for your crop type and processing volume. From small-scale test labs to full-scale commercial facilities, our color sorters grow with your needs.
Advanced software allows sorting not just by colour, but by product geometry and size, enabling the separation of splits, cracks, and non-conforming seeds with precision.
We have developed a complex algorithm so that even the smallest of impurities can be detected.
Curious about how colour sorters work? At VistaSort, we’ve designed a powerful, user-friendly optical sorting system built specifically for grain and seed processors across Canada and the globe.
Our technology combines intelligent cameras, high-speed ejectors, and smart image analysis to remove unwanted product, ensuring maximum purity, yield, and efficiency in your processing line.
Every VistaSort machine begins with a precision-controlled vibrator feeder to ensure uniform product distribution across the chute.
– Polished, low-friction surfaces guide seeds gently into the inspection zone.
– Vibratory feeders ensure a smooth and even flow for consistent sorting results.
VistaSort uses full-colour Japanese CCD cameras that are engineered for high-resolution performance with optical precision down to 0.04 mm.
– Intelligent image-processing software compares every particle to pre-set “accept” and “reject” profiles.
– Advanced algorithms analyze colour, shape, and size in real time.
– Optional Infrared (IR) and multispectral imaging can detect even invisible defects caused by moisture, disease, or damage.
Speed meets accuracy with VistaSort’s rapid-fire electromagnetic, Italian-made solenoid ejectors, imported from Italy.
– These ultra-responsive valves target off-spec product with pinpoint accuracy.
– Designed for durability and high throughput, even with small seeds or lightweight products.
– Minimizes good product loss, ensuring better ROI per batch.
VistaSort systems are powered by advanced, made in the USA, DSP and FPGA control chips and offer intuitive, real-time user interfaces.
– Self-diagnostics and auto-calibration functions ensure continuous performance.
– Multiple sorting “recipes” can be stored for different products or impurity profiles.
– USB ports make backups and updates fast and secure.
– Multilingual UI with training-friendly touchscreen design.
Our systems are housed in airtight, pressurized optical chambers to prevent dust from entering the vision system.
– Contamination is kept out, improving lifespan and performance.
– All product contact points are food-safe and easy to clean.
– Models available in powder-coated white (RAL 9003) or upgraded stainless steel finish for harsh environments.
Built-in product sampling trays make it easy to monitor reject streams and conduct side-by-side comparisons for calibration.
Imported from Italy. The ejectors contain a high-frequency electromagnetic solenoid valve with a 10 billion millisecond precision and a consistency of near-zero error to ensure high accuracy.
Our control chip is made in the USA. The combination of DSP and FPGA produces powerful computing capabilities. It has extremely fast data collection, can process large amounts of information, and perform various operations simultaneously.
A Japanese high-end 2048-pixel CCD chip camera can identify spots as small as 0.04mm. The optical design provides a more accurate color selection when coupled with intelligent algorithms.
We have developed a complex algorithm so that even the smallest of impurities can be detected.
Compact system design, a precise calibration system, and an intuitive machine interface make our machine operator friendly.
Our 300mm wide chute is built with a special anodizing process and was designed to meet the specifications required for many applications around the world.
From pulse processors to cereal grain cleaners and specialty crop exporters.
