Probat and Belgian-based Tomra have teamed up to introduce the LST, a sensor-based sorting machine.
The free-fall laser sorter simultaneously rejects foreign objects such as small glass and plastic particles, stones, sticks, metal parts as well as discoloured and deformed green or roasted coffee with extremely high efficiency. It works with high resolution lasers enabling it to sort objects which cannot be detected by conventional sorters. Cardamom Colour Sorting Machine
Thus, it is capable of rejecting based on biological characteristics like chlorophyll. Unwanted and difficult to detect objects such as little sticks or green coffees of very heterogeneous color are easily identified. Implemented with the smart and flex sort modules, the LST is able to automatically set itself.
Incoming products are analyzed and the best sorting parameters are automatically selected for creating a higher level of contrast which results in a lower false reject and the highest possible efficiency.
The LST particularly aims at producers of premium quality coffee products such as specialty coffee and whole bean, with very quality conscious consumers.
