Pistachios, often referred to as the “rock stars” among nuts, have been steadily rising in popularity, and consumers are now demanding higher quality and production standards.
Additionally, pistachio processing companies face challenges such as high labor costs, production pressure, and difficulty in maintaining consistent quality.
In response to these challenges, Techik leverages its rich industry experience to provide customized sorting solutions for pistachio processing companies, helping them achieve higher quality, increased production capacity, and labor savings through intelligent and automated sorting lines for pistachios.
In-Shell Pistachio Sorting Solutions
In-shell pistachios have brown shells with longitudinal stripes and an elliptical shape. They are categorized and priced based on factors such as shell thickness (hardshell/softshell), whether they are already opened and easy to peel (open/shut), size, and impurity content.
Sorting Requirements:
1. Sorting in-shell pistachios before and after the opening process, distinguishing between open and shut shells.
2. Separating hardshell and softshell pistachios from raw in-shell pistachios.
3. Sorting out contaminants like mold, metal, glass, as well as internal impurities like green pistachios, pistachio shells, and pistachio kernels, for further processing.
Techik sorting machine recommended: Double-Layer Intelligent Visual Color Sorter Machine
With AI deep learning algorithms and high-resolution imaging, Techik visual color sorter can identify subtle differences in in-shell pistachio materials. It can accurately separate open and shut shells, as well as differentiate between hardshell and softshell pistachios, resulting in higher product yields and lower losses.
Building upon the hardshell/softshell and open/shut sorting, Techik visual color sorter can also sort out contaminants like mold, metal, and glass, as well as impurities like green pistachios, pistachio shells, and pistachio kernels. This allows for precise differentiation of waste material and various categories of rework material, helping customers improve material utilization.
Solution Benefits:
Efficient separation of hardshell/softshell and open/shut materials, leading to more accurate product grading and increased revenue and material utilization.
The ability to differentiate contaminants, green pistachios, shells, kernels, and other materials based on customer needs, enabling precise material management and reduced losses.
Pistachio Kernel Sorting Solution
Pistachio kernels are elliptical in shape and hold high nutritional and medicinal value. They are categorized and priced based on factors such as color, size, and impurity content.
Sorting Requirements:
1. Sorting out contaminants like pistachio shells, branches, metal, glass, etc.
2. Separating defective kernels, including damaged, moldy, shrunken, insect-infested, and shriveled kernels.
Techik sorting machine recommended: Dual-Energy X-ray Inspection System for Bulk Products
The machine can replace multiple manual laborers. It intelligently identifies foreign objects like shells, metal, glass, as well as defects like moldy kernels, double kernels, damaged kernels, and pressure-marked kernels.
Solution Benefits:
Replacing multiple manual laborers, it sorts high-quality pistachio kernels, increasing production capacity and reducing costs, helping customers better compete in the market.
Techik’s pistachio inspection and sorting solution addresses challenges related to hardshell/softshell, open/shut sorting, as well as mold, infestation, shrinkage, empty shells, and foreign object detection in the pistachio industry.
Multiple equipment options, various color sorters and X-ray inspection system, cover the full spectrum of pistachio industry inspection and sorting needs, from raw material sorting to process monitoring and final product inspection. This mature solution has been extensively validated in the market and has received widespread recognition from industry customers.
