Sorter for the food industry SORTEX AI700

for agricultural applicationsindustrialoptical

Product overview
SORTEX AI700 by Bühler is an optical sorter for cereal processing that uses deep learning (neural networks) trained on millions of labelled images to identify impurities and defects. The system provides real-time transparency on raw material quality and defect percentages to support food-safety and process decisions.

Key benefits

• Allergen removal: separates barley, wheat and rye from oats to reduce allergen risk in finished products.
• Yield improvement: manufacturer-presented claim of up to +50% increased yield purity through advanced defect detection.
• Reduced operational burden: turnkey solution designed for quick installation and limited operator training.

Key features

• Deep Learning detection: neural-network algorithms trained with millions of labelled images to detect and reject impurities and defects.
• Real-time traceability and monitoring: live reporting of defect types and percentages to inform upstream process adjustments.
• Digital connectivity: supports remote monitoring, alerts and integration with digital process supervision.
• Straight-out-of-the-box: engineered for fast commissioning and straightforward operation.

Operational highlights

• High-accuracy defect detection targeted at improving food safety and product consistency.
• Full transparency of raw-material quality with measurable defect percentages.
• Designed specifically to separate cereal contaminants (barley, wheat, rye) from oats.

Notable endorsements and context

• Market positioning: presented as Bühler’s new optical sorter for optimized food purity and yield.
• Product management: Product Manager (SORTEX AI700) quoted on the technological advance and ease of operation.
