Description of the PotSorter

A high-quality, fully automatic grading line for pots.

The PotSorter will grade pots into four classifications. The pots will be fed into the machine by using a conveyor belt. After positioning the pots, they are scanned using our in-house imaging system. It takes one picture from above and one image from the side. The PotSorter ensures enough distance between the pots so leaves will not overlap.

The pots are scanned on color, negative color, plant volume, height, stem thickness, root development, or a combination of these. All commands are Windows-driven and very intuitive. The software can generate output files containing the number of plants, batches, and corresponding classification numbers. According to the classification, the pots will be pushed on the right conveyor belt.

The PotSorter is mounted on a mobile frame with wheels including two cameras, a camera cupboard, lightning, a PC, a screen,ouse, a keyboard, a m and four conveyors for the different classifications plus waste.
