Key Features

The sensors analyse for soil clods, stones and foreign material. Gentle product handling is assured by design; the first accepted grade gently passes through the sorting machine while the second grade with soil clods, stones, and foreign materials are sorted out by intelligent finger ejectors with precision and accuracy.
