Sorters > Fluo technology

Fluorescence laser technology represents the next generation of laser sorting. After years of fundamental research together with the University of Brussels, BEST incorporates this technology in our sorting machines.
Due to the fluorescence features of certain products, the patented laser fluorescence technology gives an even better contrast to detect color and texture differences. It creates a kind of black and white contrast that results in a very high detection efficiency and very little false reject.

Where can FLUO be used ?

This technology can be used to sort out products which do not contain chlorophyll or differ in chlorophyll level with the good products that contain chlorophyll: e.g. peas, green beans, spinach, garden beans etc. The objects that do not contain chlorophyll (the defects in other words) can be: stones, plastics, glass, wood, metal, rotten spots etc.
This technology can also be used the other way round, to detect chlorophyll containing objects or spots: e.g. the green spots on potato products, green areas on carrot products, parts of leaves in between products, leaves on fruits etc. The black/white (chlorophyll/no chlorophyll) contrast that is created this way, results in a very efficient detection and rejection.
