Bench Industries’ color sorting technology provides advanced precision in separating grains and seeds based on color differences. Using high-speed cameras, the system detects discolored or defective seeds, ensuring only the best quality product passes through. Once the system identifies a flaw, air jets are activated to remove the unwanted items from the processing stream. This process is crucial for improving the quality and market value of crops by eliminating damaged, discolored, or foreign particles that would otherwise go unnoticed by traditional cleaning methods.
The use of air jets in the color sorting process is both fast and efficient. When the cameras detect a seed or grain that doesn’t match the pre-set color criteria, air nozzles swiftly shoot a burst of air to remove the defective piece. This non-contact process minimizes damage to the grain, preserving the integrity of the remaining product while ensuring a high level of accuracy and speed in sorting.

For farmers and processors, the inclusion of air in the color sorting mechanism offers significant advantages. It allows for continuous processing, meaning that the flow of grain doesn’t need to be stopped for sorting to occur. This ensures a smooth, uninterrupted workflow, which is particularly beneficial for large-scale operations. The air-based sorting also provides a gentle, non-invasive way to remove unwanted items without damaging the grain or seed.
By integrating color sorting technology into their seed and grain cleaning systems, Bench Industries enhances the overall quality control process. Customers can trust that the combination of optical recognition and air-based removal ensures that only the highest-quality seeds or grains make it through, improving their product’s market readiness and overall value.
