FlexSorter

The FlexSorter is unique since it selects plants and handles the plugs only once! Plants are extracted from the donor tray with our in-house developed plant grippers, assisted by a pusher pin system from below. 

The plant grippers give the plants space so that it's easy to determine the plant's quality. After selection, the FlexSorter transfers approved plants to the selected destination belts, grade by grade. The number of classifications depends on the number of destination belts and is maximized on four.

Discarded plants and empty plugs are collected on a waste belt. The selected trays are all combined class by class. Both the machine and the imaging system offer an easy-to-understand user interface with inbuilt self-diagnosis. The FlexSorter is the new generation of selection equipment, avoiding plant damage due to double handling of plants.
