Brussels Sprouts Sorting Solutions in the Netherlands decided to use a custom adjustable roller sorting device to replace traditional sorting facilities by leveraging the company's existing feeding equipment, combined with high-throughput roller sorting technology from machine manufacturer FstSort.
1. Can the sorting size be adjusted?
Customer Roorda said: "For my Brussels sprouts project, I need a new sorting line with a higher degree of automation, which will be used in the Netherlands, allowing us to guarantee the quality and availability of the product."
In the beginning, the customer told us that he needed 5 graders, which were < 17mm; 17-23 mm; 23-31 mm;; 31-41 mm; > 41 mm. Generally speaking, our first push is a fixed roller sorting machine. The market for Brussels sprouts was constantly changing, and over time, after observing the market, Roorda said that the size had changed and that it was not possible to sort them as before. He then sent us the new ratings, which are >17mm; 17-26mm; 26-30mm; 30-42 mm. As for the size change of Brussels kale, after some discussion, we agreed that we could adopt FstSort's latest adjustable roller sizing machine. The sorting range of this classifier is very flexible, and it is easy to change the size from 15mm to 75mm to better meet the sorting needs of customers.
2. Can it connect with the existing machine?
Customer Roorda said, "I have a dump truck in front of a grader that is 800 mm high and 600 mm wide, and the grading function can't match it?" Our answer is yes, this can be customized for you at the hopper size.
3. Can you add the pre-sorting function?
The customer then asked a third question, "I need a pre-sorting machine for leaves, is it possible?" For preselection, We think that Brussels sprouts can dump onto the belt hopper before the grader, with Rollers, rotates as a pre-sorting table for leaves.
4. Can the grading part be customized in length, width, and height?
According to customer Roord's requirements: they collect the sorted Brussels sprouts with boxes 1600mm *1200 mm*1250 mm, the grader must be higher and have the discharge belts left and right."
And the overall solution that we came up with designing the adjustable grader with 5 takeout belts. (1,3,5 on left, We can design the adjustable grader with 5 takeout belts. (1,3,5 on left, 2,4 on right) There is an adjusting handle and ruler mark at each exit, 2,4 on right) there is an adjusting handle and ruler mark at each exit, simple to change sizes. Belts distance away from the machine:1000mm; Belt height to the ground: 1350mm.
After many discussions, the customer was satisfied with this plan and also affirmed our customized service.
