WECO The Science of Optical Sorting

“Consumer expectations for blueberry quality are rising – shoppers now want flawless fruit in every clamshell. Our new 360Tek sorter is the perfect addition to our Sortivator portfolio of solutions, helping packers achieve the most accurate final sort possible in the smallest footprint,” said Eric Horner, Vice President of WECO. “With its unique roller design, the 360Tek is half the size of similar fine defect sorters on the market while achieving twice the throughput, maintaining consistently high performance and offering a superior ROI. It’s a gamechanger for the blueberry industry.”

WECO’s 360Tek removes products with a wide range of defects including scars, splits and rubs, as well as EVM like stems and flowers. It can also separate large, jumbo berries into a separate stream. To present a complete 360-degree view of each piece of fruit for inspection, the 360Tek conveys berries over a series of hourglass-shaped rollers. Digital color cameras take up to 16 photos of each berry as it rotates, and advanced machine-learning algorithms analyze the color, size and shape of every object to make sophisticated sort decisions. Air nozzles positioned between the rollers gently deflect objects identified for separation.

The 360Tek sorter separates incoming product into three customizable streams. The ‘accept’ stream sends good berries on to packaging. The second sort stream is dedicated to collecting blueberries with defects and EVM, while the third sort stream collects jumbo berries. However, if the packer has no need to separate jumbo berries, the second and third streams can each be programmed to collect berries with specific types of defects or EVM.

Each of WECO’s Sortivator fresh-pack lines is tailored for the customer’s application, incorporating systems for eliminating debris, removing soft fruit and sorting by color and size. The 360Tek can be installed at the end of new or existing Sortivator lines. Controlled from a single touchscreen control panel, Sortivator provides fast, gentle and effective blueberry sorting for big and small operations, whether the fruit is harvested mechanically or by hand.

The 360Tek sorter, other Sortivator equipment modules and WECO’s other high-quality sorting and moisture monitoring solutions are available for sale or lease. WECO’s industry-leading customer service organization provides installation and start-up services, preventive maintenance, technology upgrades and 24/7 emergency assistance.

The new 360Tek optical sorter for blueberries seamlessly integrates at the end of WECO’s modular Sortivator line. Conveying berries over a series of hourglass-shaped rollers, the 360Tek takes up to 16 photos of each object to accurately identify and separate product with fine defects, extraneous vegetable matter (EVM) and jumbo berries. Inspecting up to 8,000 lbs. (3,600 kg) of blueberries per hour, this affordable sorter maximizes product quality while reducing labor requirements.
