SEA Srl is pleased to announce that it will be presenting at the IPACK-IMA International Show in Milan. Visitors will be find important news at our booth C 31 in Hall 3.
Sorting grains, and foodstuffs using colour separation technology ensures the highest accuracy in sorting coupled with a greatly reduced number of rejects. Added to this is the ability to process high capacities without sacrificing on the final quality. That’s was already proved and showed to the international market by means of the PIXEL series of colour sorting machine.
Now, it’s time to look at the future and introduce some important news!
Being able to achieve a consistently high quality standard is of key importance and it’s obvious that a foodstuff must be offered ‘clean’ of all defects that could compromise the end product quality. Optical electronic sorters SEA offer a fast and safe solution to such a requirement by comparing and detecting any product displaying non-conforming colour with respect to the preset parameters. The sorter’s optical system automatically rejects this out-of-spec product with maximum precision. What the new solutions will add value to? We’ll disclose it to our visitors at Ipack-ima.
MORE ABOUT SEA
SEA Srl has installed and commissioned PIXEL colour sorting machines in the wheat and rice industry and following this identified the significant advantages that this type of sorting machine could bring to numerous industries not only in Europe. The machines are easy to use, offer low energy consumption and require minimum maintenance, adding to the productivity of production and other processes.
PIXEL electronic colour sorters bring together the most modern technology and experience gained through many years in the industry. The machines use a control system with high resolution CCD cameras which incorporate the most advanced technology and yet, are simple to use. Up to ten cameras are used on the different models to ensure optimum resolution.
While the actual machine is a standard design and configuration, the installation itself is always seen as a customised solution for each and every sorting application.
The Pixel sorter can be used to sort rice, wheat, and similar grains. There are three models available capable of handling from 0.5 to 35 tph. “Typically, the machines are positioned within the first cleaning cycle of the process to identify foreign seeds, stones, and defective (mottled and shrivelled) grains. They are also used to identify and sort broken grains, to ensure optimum quality of the end product.
SEA Pixel Sorters can be used for separation based on the colour or opacity/transparency of dry products. SEA Srl offers a range of sorting machines working in
monochrome, bi-chrome, NIR, IR, UV, resonance and others. The company has numerous references across a wide range of industry.
Three different ranges of sorters are available – the Echo, which has found a niche application for sorting shelled foodstuffs such as nuts; the Crystal for sorting glass products; and the Selekta for all other product/foodstuff sorting.
All SEA sorters can be divided into two sections working simultaneously and independently. The second section is normally used for the reject re-pass. Should the input product contain a high contamination rate, the second section can be used for an additional run of the product already sorted in the first section.
All SEA sorters are equipped with a remote control system which enables the alteration and management of the operating software in real time. This means that, regardless of the location, our technicians are able to assess the situation and operate to alter the functionality and performance of the sorter.
Extreme flexibility, the outstanding efficiency of SEA sorters and reducing operational consumptions to a minimum, make the investment amortisable over a very short period of time.
SEA Srl is able to offer absolute flexibility by providing a turnkey solution or working together with consultants, oems and the end users to ensure that specific application requirements are met.
The first SEA optical electronic colour sorting machine prototype was launched in Italy in 1968. This machine was designed for use in a rice sorting application. Following its success, machines were engineered for sorting other products, ranging from dried fruits to legumes and other foodstuff.
In 1989, with newly developed technologies available, machines were engineered for the recycling industry for colour sorting of plastic materials and glass cullet.
In 2004 a sorting machine using resonance was developed and has also found success...
In 2007 the PIXEL series met the favour of the market that were demanding an alternative to the English best-known competitor offering high-quality with very high capacity, at more reasonable prices.
In 2009 we are ready to introduce some important news… We prefer not disclose you in advance! Through technical experience gained in processing a wide variety of commodities, coupled with continuous research and development, SEA Srl has stayed abreast of technological advances to produce reliable, flexible and highly competitive machines.
