Optical sorters have been in existence for many years, but had limitations that minimized their use in grain cleaning. Recent advancements in camera technology, along with increased machine capacities, have created new opportunities with the equipment. Selecting the correct optical sorting technology for your application and learning to operate it properly is key to great results. Similarly, once a machine is installed, proper maintenance and attention are critical to continued success. This session will use an interactive demonstration of optical sorting equipment, and attendees will walk away with a better understanding of what is and is not possible when using optical sorting technology to remove off color and damaged grains.
