FAQ

Q: Can the optical sorter detect internal defects like hollow heart or internal browning?

A: This specific model focuses on high-speed external defects, shape, and color. For internal defects, we offer an optional upgrade featuring advanced NIR (Near-Infrared) sensors that scan through the potato skin to detect internal rot and hollow heart.

Q: How does the machine perform in dusty or muddy packing house environments?

A: The optical chamber is completely sealed (IP65 rated) to protect sensitive electronics. Additionally, it is equipped with an automated air-blow self-cleaning system that periodically clears dust and moisture off the camera protective glass without stopping production.

Q: Is the sorting software difficult to operate? How do we change sorting criteria?

A: Not at all. The user interface is designed like a smartphone app with a visual touch screen. Operators can easily save or load presets (e.g., "Premium Grade Russets" vs. "Processing Grade"). Changing the sensitivity thresholds for what constitutes a "defect" takes only a few taps.

Q: What happens if our internet connection drops? Will the machine stop working?

A: No. The machine runs entirely on its local industrial PC. The internet connection is only required if you want to export real-time data reports to your office or if you request a remote tuning session from our technical support team.

Q: Can this machine handle potatoes that vary heavily in size on the same line?

A: Yes. The intelligent vision system calculates the volume and shape of each individual potato dynamically as it passes through the chamber, allowing it to accurately grade mixed-size batches simultaneously.

Q: How long do the high-speed air valves last, and are they easy to replace?

A: Our pneumatic high-frequency valves are rated for over 1.5 billion cycles. They are designed as modular individual plug-ins; if a valve requires replacement, it can be swapped out by a local technician in less than 5 minutes using standard tools.
