Color Sorting

Vista Sort Logo

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.

VistaSort 2 Chute & 5 Chute

VistaSort Mini

We offer the regular unit from 1 chute to 10 chutes. We also have the Mini Sorter which is a smaller capacity specialty color sorter used for seed plots and lab work among other smaller capacity applications.

Application

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.

Components

1.

Ejectors

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.

2.

DSP + FPGA

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.

3.

CCD CAMERAS

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.

4.

INTELLIGENT IMAGE PROCESSING ALGORITHM

We have developed a complex algorithm so that even the smallest of impurities can be detected.

5.

OPTICAL SYSTEM

Compact system design, a precise calibration system, and an intuitive machine interface make our machine operator friendly.

6.

300MM WIDE CHUTE

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.
