ESM Colour Sorting, Color Sorting Machines For Sorting Pulses, Beans, Cereals, Plastics and more

Satake offer a range of Colour Sorting Machines. This enables us to use the the individual features of each machine to get the highest efficiency and performance on each product sorted. This approach provides a tailored solution to your process, rather than a 'one machine fits all' compromise.

AlphaScan II
The Satake AlphaScan II is the very latest Colour Sorter from Satake. The original AlphaScan range was introduced to the market in 2004 and quickly gained favour in wheat, barley, rye, rice and other cereal/pulse processing industries. The AlphaScan II is the next generation of 'low cost - high capacity' sorting from Satake.

The AlphaScan II is particularly suitable for ergot, foreign grain and stone removal from wheat, black tip removal from durum and the recovery of good grain ejected by mechanical separators. It also has applications in the removal of pink tinted fusarium damaged wheat. Processors of other products such as rice, beans and pulses also benefit from the machine's high capacity at low cost.

RMGS GRAIN COLOUR SORTER, Rice Sorter
This sorter design uses the most advanced available electronics technology, and is equipped with both CCD and NIR sensors. Digital image processing is incorporated to detect and reject even the smallest defects from milled rice at high production rates. The RMGS series, AMS/BM type have exceptional capability for the removal of glass and white stones from grain by using NIR sensors. MORE >

SCANMASTER™ High Resolution, High Capacity Sorter IE, DE & SE (Food/Natural Product Applications)
The ScanMaster™ was the first joint American/Japanese sorting machine introduced after the acquisition of ESM by the Satake Corporation. The arrival of the ScanMaster™ revolutionized the industry of colour sorting and it can be said that virtually any product that ranges from the size of a mustard seed up to, and including, whole almonds can be sorted on a version of the ScanMaster™.

The ScanMaster™ is available in Monochromatic and Bichromatic configurations, with independent front and back views to give an accuracy never achieved before. The ScanMaster™ can be supplied with 10, 20, 40 or 80 channels plus resort which may be included in models of 20 or more channels.

One of the most notable recent innovations in the ScanMaster™ line is the use of infrared and colour combined detector elements, which enable the ScanMaster™ to inspect food for "undetectable" foreign material, such as clear glass and colour simultaneously. Newly introduced is the SE model, uniquely capable of Ultra Violet sorting.

SCANMASTER™ IE & XE High Resolution, High Capacity Sorter (Plastics Applications)
The new ScanMaster™ IE & DE are widely used on the sorting of virgin plastic pellets, or NHDPE and PET materials in recycling applications. The compact "footprint" of the ScanMaster™ makes the unit easy to install in a "system" that incorporates resort capabilities. The resultant stream of accepted product is resalable at premium prices, with the initial capital investment typically recouped by the plastic processor in less than six months. High resolution CCD cameras are used to inspect the plastic product, and a burst of air is used to remove the unacceptable product.

The ScanMaster™ XE Bichromatic Infra-Red & Infra-Red is equipped with the latest duplex sensors working in two parts of the IR spectrum viewing. The ScanMaster XE is equipped with the latest development of duplex cameras (IR & IR) viewing from front and rear.

ULTRASCAN - Multiple Wavelength Technology
The UltraScan utilises both visible and infrared spectrums to target all types of foreign material and colour defects. The UltraScan uses a newly developed and more powerful version of Satake's proprietary Infrared and Visible cameras. This sorting platform is combined with a unique high intensity halogen illumination system to maximise sorting efficiency. MORE >

FULL COLOUR BELT SORTER - CS-300BI-C
The Satake Full Colour Belt Sorter gives excellent sorting performance on many types of food and non-food materials. Using new technology, the Full Colour Camera uses three wave lengths, which are R(red), G(green) and B(blue). It can therefore detect and reject material of similar colours. The use of a belt enables unstable and fragile materials to be carried and sorted with stability and accuracy. MORE >

PELLETSCAN – Monochromatic Visible Belt Machine
The Pelletscan is a machine with a higher optical resolution than any of our previous machines capable of removing spot defects down to 0.08mm. This development addresses the needs of various engineered plastic pellets applications in the wire, cable, medical, optical and automotive industries where the smallest spot defects must be removed.
