Orange grading technology
External quality
Our HD cameras enable better visual identification of the fruits shape and context. TrueSort™ accurately finds characteristics such as the navel, stem, molds, bruises and scratches. Our grading technology allows customers to quickly establish “variety specific” grading parameters that provide consistent detection of the most prevalent external defects (i.e. Navel deformations, blemish, corrugations, mould and oleocellosis).
Once the defects are identified, our grading software sorts the oranges into various grades (i.e., premium, second, juice, cull, etc.) based upon threshold values established for defect severity, count or area.
Orange Quality Grading with Ellips Grading Technology
Orange Colour Grading with Ellips Grading Technology
Colour separation
Using the TrueSort™ colour module, you are able to determine the colour on which you want to grade the fruit (for example, the percentage of brown or green on an orange), based on live feedback from the HD+ cameras. Images from multiple cameras at various angles can be combined in order to view the entire surface. The characteristics of the orange, therefore, are calculated based on as much information as possible. Ultrafine colour separations are obtained through our intuitive software that enables operators to quickly create or modify colour profiles.
Size separation
To measure the entire surface, the orange is rotated under the camera and 10 images are taken of the same product. This permits you to calculate the diameter (with an accuracy of 0.1mm), length and surface area. Defects in shape, like protrusion, can also be detected.
Orange Weight Grading with Ellips Grading Technology
Weight
The weight of each orange can be measured on a cup system with built-in weighing system. On roller systems, weight is calculated by volume. Accurate weights (deviation of 1 gram) are possible, even at high speed (up to 15 cups/second). Factors such as temperature differences and dust accumulation throughout the day are automatically taken into account.
