SORTING
one of many features that makes the
Xcalibur the unique sorter that it is,
Ans van Lierop, internal sales and
customer service representative said
in an interview at Interpom Primeurs
in Belgium.
Oculus by Herbert Solutions
Although Herbert Solutions offers
 Xcalibur by OptiServe
refers to Xcalibur as an " all-round "
type of machine with the ability to sort
potato products by structure, mass,
shape and color.
Xcalibur uses a four-camera interface
in order to project an image of the
products as they pass by on a conveyor
belt. The position of these products
on the belt is not important. Xcalibur
makes its choice within a fraction of
a second, deciding either to approve
or reject product. Each second, it is
able to process approximately 3,5004,000
individuals pieces. This is just
everything from cleaning and
separating equipment to box fillers,
its intelligent optical sorting equipment,
Oculus, was what really drew attention
at Fruit Logistica 2018.
Oculus is a high performance,
compact optical sorter designed for
washed and peeled potatoes.
It is
available in four sizes, depending on
what capacity processors require.
In an interview at the trade fair,
sales manager Gerard Bos explained
how the rol ler
system provides
360-degree tuber rotation, allowing
for 20 percent more coverage than a
typical " cascade " system.
Inside, Oculus takes 16-24 images
 Oculus by Herbert Solutions
of the potato's surface and sorts it
by size, shape, color and texture. It
also has the ability to detect defects,
such as rot, greens, scurf, mechanical
damage and growth cracks. " It's able
to recognize small spots of a quarter
of a millimeter, " Bos said. " And that's
the reason why it's doing a very good
job on all these defects. "
Oculus is continuously upgrading
and improving software and camera
technology
generations more efficient and precise
in their sorting.
