Advanced date grading

See the unseen

Internal defects have nowhere to hide with world-leading Ellips TrueSort™ technology. It precisely analyses the internal quality of each date and detects a multitude of defects at incredible speed such as black mold, moisture and more.

360° precision grading

Whatever the size or shape of your dates, GranTorino grading machine handles them all. Its unique rotating carrier creates a 360° view of each date, allowing you to analyze the entire surface for quality characteristics and defects such as loose skin, calyx, doubles, yellow cap and more

A heavyweight in weighing

The GranTorino date grading machine volumetrically weighs every date at high-speed using images from advanced cameras. Our unique TrueSort™ software also monitors the average product weight and capacity per hour.

It all measures up

Every date rotates under the camera as 40 images are taken to measure the entire surface. This lets the machine calculate the precise diameter, length and surface area. It will also recognize shape related defects or doubles (2 dates in 1 cup).

Grade every color

Ultrafine color separations are created using TrueSort™ software allowing operators to quickly create or modify color profiles. Then using live feedback from the cameras, the date color is accurately graded.

The next generation of date grading

Ellips developed a deep learning toolbox called TrueAI. This toolbox is going to help you with near-perfect grading accuracy and enables you to detect all severities of loose skin and yellow cap, even on multi-colored dates. The new software has been trained using large amounts of data combined with the expertise of quality control personnel. You still want the best of both worlds: an operator who has knowledge of datess and how to target the right defects combined with this powerful new tool.

Stay in full control

TrueSort’s™ easy-to-use dashboard gives real-time data such as the percentage of defective dates, the amount of waste and the distribution of different quality aspects for each batch. This lets you make accurate operational decisions on-to-go whilst also giving you the freedom to incorporate data from your sorting process into dashboards and ERP systems.

End-to-end traceability

From infeed to packaging, end-to-end traceability is crucial to guaranteeing date quality and safety. These insights can help improve your profitability, optimize your operating efficiency, analyze yields, and reduce food waste. It’s why every package is labeled so it can be tracked and traced back to the original grower and the field it came from.
