In the coffee industry, correct sorting of coffee beans is a key link in ensuring the quality of coffee. High-quality coffee beans are the basis for making delicious coffee, and any coffee beans with defects or foreign matter may have a negative impact on the taste and quality of the final product. Therefore, it is crucial to use advanced optical sorting technology to remove discolored coffee beans and foreign matter.
1. Advantages of WESORT optical sorting technology
(1)Comprehensive removal of defective coffee beans
Discolored coffee beans are one of the common factors affecting coffee quality. WESORT optical sorting technology can accurately identify and effectively remove various discolored coffee beans. Whether it is due to improper storage, oxidation or other reasons, the color change can be accurately screened out to ensure the color consistency of the coffee beans, thereby ensuring the stability of the coffee flavor during subsequent roasting and brewing.
The presence of unripe coffee beans will make the coffee taste sour and astringent, affecting the balance of the overall flavor. WESORT technology can separate immature coffee beans from high-quality coffee beans by accurately analyzing the color, shape and other characteristics of coffee beans, thereby improving the overall quality of coffee.
Insect-infested coffee beans not only affect the taste, but may also carry pathogens, posing a threat to food safety. The WESORT optical sorting system can keenly detect the subtle characteristics of insect-infested coffee beans, such as wormholes and discolored spots, and completely remove them to ensure the quality and safety of coffee.
(2)Efficient removal of foreign matter
Various foreign matter, such as glass, stone, and plastic, may be mixed into the coffee production process. These foreign matter not only damages the processing equipment, but may also cause harm to the health of consumers. WESORT optical sorting technology uses advanced optical sensors and high-speed image processing systems to quickly and accurately identify substances that are different from coffee beans, and remove foreign matter through precise jet devices or other sorting methods to ensure the purity of coffee beans.
Even for foreign matter of the same color as coffee beans, such as wooden sticks, WESORT technology can effectively identify and sort them with its unique algorithm and multi-dimensional detection methods. Through comprehensive analysis of object shape, texture and other features, foreign matter can be distinguished from coffee beans even if the colors are similar, greatly improving the accuracy and reliability of sorting.
2. Working principle and sorting capability of coffee bean color sorter
(1)What is coffee bean color sorting
Coffee bean color sorting is the process of screening and sorting coffee beans using optical principles and image processing technology. By analyzing the light reflected or transmitted by coffee beans, the color, shape, size and other information of coffee beans are obtained, and then the coffee beans that meet the requirements are separated from the coffee beans that do not meet the requirements and foreign matter according to the preset standards and algorithms.
(2) How coffee beans are sorted
Coffee beans are first evenly transported to the detection area of the color sorter through the feeding system. In the detection area, high-speed cameras or optical sensors quickly scan the coffee beans to obtain their image information. This image information is transmitted to the image processing system, which analyzes and processes the images to identify the characteristics and defects of the coffee beans. According to the pre-set sorting rules, the control system issues instructions to drive the jet device or other sorting mechanism to remove unqualified coffee beans and foreign matter, and qualified coffee beans continue to enter the subsequent processing flow or storage link.
(3)What impurities can the color sorter select in coffee beans?
In addition to the discolored coffee beans, immature coffee beans, insect-damaged coffee beans and various foreign matter mentioned above, the color sorter can also select some tiny impurities, such as dust and impurity particles on the surface of coffee beans. For some special requirements of coffee production, the color sorter can also grade and sort the coffee beans according to the size, shape and other characteristics to meet the personalized needs of different customers for coffee bean quality.
