Sorting sweet peppers
MSE Combicup/CXL
To sort sweet peppers, you can choose between the MSE Combicup or MSE CXL. Both sorting units have a special cup, which ensures that the sweet peppers keep lying properly during transport along the system. The Combicup is specially intended for sweets peppers (capsicum), the CXL for larger peppers.
The MSE type is a tried and tested system of which more than 1,000 have been sold worldwide. The maximum speed is 5 sweet peppers per second per lane. The system is available with 2, 4, 6, 8 or a maximum of 10 lanes.
External quality
If your sorting unit is equipped with the intelligent Quality Sorter (iQS), sweet peppers can be sorted by external characteristics. The iQS system includes cameras to take up to 70 pictures of the sweet pepper during its passage along the singulator. This allows for detection of deviations of as little as one square millimetre.
Internal quality
The intelligent Flavour Analyser (iFA) allows for assessment of the internal quality of the fruit. This module analyses aspects such as the brix value and even internal quality characteristics. iFA uses a light source to make a spectrum analysis which gives an assessment of the entire piece of fruit instead of just a small part of it.
