This has a one metre wide belt and feeds onto a transfer belt, taking product to a bucket elevator and a Ilapak 10 head weigher.

Available as a line or separately.

From the Protec website

"The sorter uses a high-speed and high-resolution system of linear cameras, that examines the product moving on the conveyor belt. The images are analysed on an electronic card designed by Protec, that uses the latest integration and speed technology to ensure maximum performance. Defects as small as 0.5 x 0.25mm in size are analysed in conjunction with a powerful image processing software. The sorter is also provided with a unique back-lighting device installed below the belt to illuminate the product and better show the defects."
