Your Challenge

All types of bulb vegetables, green beans, peas, leek, cauliflower, broccoli, spinach, salad, shoots etc. whole or shredded, fresh or frozen. You want to offer an assortment that is as wide as possible, using as little machines as possible.

Stray sprigs and leaves? A rotten onion? Food safety regulations are being tightened worldwide and consumers have also become more demanding. The presence of foreign materials or inferior products is not only a matter of food safety - in times of growing competition, quality problems can be downright harmful to your reputation. Unfortunately, you cannot control the condition of the vegetables, as no two seasons are the same. However, you do want to offer consistent quality to your customers.

In short, it’s important to optimize your sorting process: to detect as many foreign materials and defects as possible and without unnecessarily removing good products.

Our machines


The TRIPLUS is available in different scan widths up to 1800 mm, and is equipped with durable and energy-efficient LED lighting that produces little heat. Depending on the width and application, it’s equipped with 4, 6 or 8 advanced high-resolution cameras for optimum defect detection and achieving an excellent good-to-bad ratio in the reject stream. Optional laser sensors (up to 8 laser signals) or InGaAs cameras maximise its defect detection and sorting accuracy.

As a freefall sorter, the TRIPLUS is extremely compact. It has few moving components and therefore requires even less maintenance. Moreover, while falling, products may be viewed along two opposite sides, resulting in more accurate sorting.

  • compact freefall sorter
  • double sided inspection
  • multiple reject streams possible
  • durable LED lighting
  • advanced cameras
  • 3R laser class
  • sorting on the basis of color, shape and structure

The VENTUS may be equipped with up to 16 lasers (and 32 laser detectors). With an impressive laser scanning speed of more than 4000 scans per second, it offers the highest resolution of all laser sorters on the market. In addition, all different laser signals are processed simultaneously by our Multi Dimensional Laser System (MDL) system, which outperforms all other systems.

In order to get an excellent good-to-bad ratio even for the smallest products, you can equip it with a high-resolution valve system: ultra-fast and small blowing jets with a center-to-center distance of 4.6 mm.

  • widest double-sided free-fall laser sorter
  • robust, advanced lasers
  • excellent good-to-bad ratio
  • sorting on the basis of color, shape, structure and biological characteristics
  • superior resolution
  • advanced sorting software using AI
  • optimal flexibility and integration options
  • perfect hygiene
  • fast product switching
  • 24/7 (remote) service

Features & benefits

Optimum Sorting

Multidimensional image processing

Most image processing algorithms reduce the RGBi signal of a colour camera from four to two dimensions. This may result in the loss of valuable information. All signals, both from the cameras and from the different lasers, are interpreted simultaneously by means of our algorithms, resulting in a more accurate detection of foreign objects and defects, plus a lower risk of false detections.

Precision ejection system

Accurate defect detection is pointless without an equally accurate ejection system. The distance between our air ducts, centre-to-centre is 7.5 mm instead of the usual 10 mm. Thus there are more ducts that are able to blow more effectively and that improves the ejection accuracy. There is also a high-resolution valve system with a centre-to-centre distance of 5 mm for specific applications. Optionally, also a double reject system is available resulting into a 3-way sort.

Data view

Why not use the data recorded by the cameras to adjust your sorting process where necessary? An optional module that filters data to parameters of your choice - length, shape, colour, defect level, etc. - and makes them available to your operators in a clear numerical or graphical way, so that they can intervene if desired. This module lays the basis for ‘sort to spec’.


Exceptional user-friendliness

Visual calibration

Setting acceptance thresholds is often time-consuming and complex. This is not the case with Optimum Sorting systems. Your operators no longer have to work with graphs or formulae themselves. Our machines can easily be calibrated by selecting images of acceptable and unacceptable products.

Intuitive GUI with AI

Thanks to the CUMULUS sorting platform with Artificial Intelligence, operating our sorting machines is child's play. Your operators see all relevant information at a glance.

Remote control

If you want to operate your sorting machines centrally, then no problem! Our solutions are easily integrated into your network, so that your operators and supervisors can keep an eye on things from any network computer.


Superior hygiene and efficiency

Optimum Sorting systems are made from stainless steel and all components to be cleaned are easily accessible. This way hygiene is guaranteed and cleaning costs you hardly any time and effort.

Moreover our machines are designed in such a way that any contamination has no impact on the sorting. Furthermore, they excel in stability, which means that your sorting process requires virtually no manual intervention. You can switch from one product to another or from one specification to another with just one press of a button.

And finally, their sturdy construction offers you a maximum uptime with minimum maintenance.
