Color sorter HR1

opticalfor ricefor the food industry

Product overview
Foodline HR1 is a compact optical rice color sorter designed for rice processors and millers. It separates grains by color and visual defects to improve final product quality and reduce manual rework. The machine fits small-to-medium milling lines and can be configured for different production needs.

Key features

• Capacity: 0.8–1.5 t/h suitable for small to medium throughput lines
• Sorting accuracy: ≥99.99% under correct operating conditions
• High-resolution Phoenix camera system: 5,400 pixels for fine defect recognition
• Channel configuration: 64 channels standard (128 channels available as an option)
• Touch control: 12.1-inch touchscreen for recipe management and monitoring
• Adjustable sorting modes: multiple presets for yellow, chalky, discolored and translucent defects

How it works

• Feed: rice is introduced via the feeding system; a vibrating feeder distributes grains evenly across channels
• Imaging: industrial cameras capture high-resolution images of individual grains
• Analysis: image-processing software compares grain color and texture against preset criteria to flag defects
• Ejection: high-speed air ejectors/nozzles remove defective grains precisely
• Collection: accepted and rejected streams are separated for downstream processing

Features details

• Optical recognition: 5,400-pixel imaging enables discrimination of subtle color and texture differences
• Multiple sorting modes: positive, reverse and combined modes to match rice quality targets
• Intelligent algorithms: adaptive image processing reduces false rejects and optimizes yield
• Efficient air system: high-frequency ejection with controlled compressed-air consumption (0.5–0.8 MPa)
• User interface: 12.1" touchscreen for quick parameter changes, diagnostics and production logs
