Nuts sorting
Enhancing Nuts sorting efficiency with Meyer advanced sorting technology
Improve Nuts sorting quality and increase throughput
Nuts optical sorting process
MEYER offers a wide range of optical sorters for the separation and cleaning of various sizes, types, and forms of nuts: whole, halves, pieces, and in-shell nuts. Our solutions are used in the sorting of hazelnuts, peanuts, walnuts, macadamia, pecans, almonds, pistachios, cashews, and other species of nuts. The technologies used in MEYER machines allow obtaining detailed removal of shells, damaged, shrivelled and rotting products, as well as foreign materials such as sticks, grass, plastics, stones, metals, aflatoxins.

Increased purity and quality
Optical sorters can detect and remove discolored materials, foreign materials, and defects such as stones, sticks, or damaged grains. This results in higher purity and quality of the final Nuts product, meeting consumer and market standards.
Better Efficiency and Throughput
Optical sorting technology allows for the processing of large volumes of Nuts quickly and accurately, significantly improving throughput compared to manual sorting methods.
Reduced Labor Costs
Automated sorting reduces the need for manual labor, leading to cost savings and reduced human error in the sorting process.
Improved Product Value
Higher quality and purity of sorted Nuts can lead to better market prices and customer satisfaction.
Versatility and Flexibility
Optical sorters can be used for different varieties of Nuts and can be adjusted for different sorting needs, making them versatile tools in Nuts processing.
Reduced Waste
Efficient sorting helps reduce waste by ensuring that only genuinely defective materials are removed, while maximizing the amount of good product.
Data Collection and Analysis
Modern optical sorting systems can collect valuable data about the waste stream, such as composition and contamination levels, aiding in process optimization and regulatory compliance.
Decreased Environmental Impact
By increasing the amount and quality of recycled materials, optical sorters contribute to reduced reliance on virgin resources, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and a smaller environmental footprint for waste management operations.
Enhanced Product Safety
By removing contaminated grains or foreign objects, optical sorters help prevent potential health hazards, contributing to safer products.
