Started with a close collaboration in August 2019, the partnership has evolved into a joint venture in China, and ultimately grew to a global partnership for bulk packaging. This new global partnership will allow Bühler to access Premier Tech’s technologies in bagging and palletising PT-Bühler will develop and market new costeffective, semi-automatic and automatic packaging solutions based on Premier Tech’s OML series either through the newly created PT-Bühler joint venture in China, serving the world with cost-effective packaging, or directly through Premier Tech’s facilities for the food feed and grain markets worldwide. Both companies will bring their cooperation to new heights by offering adapted packaging solutions around the globe. Bühler will continue to service its existing installed base, and will also focus on sales and service through its global customer service focus on total plant-solution expertise for its customers to rely on throughout the lifecycle of the product. André Noreau, CEO of Premier Tech’s Systems and Automation business, commented, “The global partnership will serve customers worldwide by building on Premier Tech’s know-how in the field of automated packaging technologies while making full use of Bühler’s international sales and service network.” The joint venture in China will commenced this July, with an aim to develop and market new cost-effective packaging solutions based on Premier Tech’s bagging expertise. Operating in Wuxi, China, PT- Bühler will focus on serving the food and feed markets in China, and other markets moving towards cost-effective automation. Additionally, the joint venture will leverage on Bühler’s manufacturing and supply chain management in China as well as digital solutions, whereas Premier Tech contributes with its packaging expertise and technological leadership in this field. Both Bühler and Premier Tech will offer the joint venture’s solutions in their respective markets, with Bühler focusing on turnkey plants, and Premier Tech on standalone solutions. ■ FOOD & BEVERAGE ASIA JUNE / JULY 2020
FIRST LOOKS 59 Key Technology introduces integrated sorting systems for fresh-cut apples Key Technology has introduced its new sorting system for fresh-cut apple products. This solution integrates Key’s Iso-Flo shakers, rotary sizing and grading systems, belt conveyors and a VERYX digital sorter. Removing pieces of stem, seeds calyx and flower, and core as well as foreign material (FM) and product defects like dark and light stains, rot and skin, this apple sorting line automates inspection to improve overall product quality and increase yield while reducing labour requirements. The integrated solution sorts peeled and skin-on apples, as well as pears, which are cut in a variety of sizes and shapes including cubes, strips and wedges. With VERYX sorters available in different sizes, Key is able to design apple sorting lines for processors with production capabilities from 3-15 metric tons per hour. The new solution begins with belt conveyors that transfer whole, halved or sliced apples, after they are peeled and cored, to Key’s Sliver Sizer Remover (SSR), which mechanically removes fines that result from the peeling and coring process. The product then continues to either a cutter that cuts the apples into different sizes and shapes or, if already sliced, directly onto the sorter. By cutting whole or halved apples instead of wedges, the yield from the cutter is improved since there are fewer slivers. When whole or half apples are the final product, the cutter can be A conveyor then carries the apple cubes, strips, dices or wedges to an Iso-Flo infeed shaker that spreads the product for presentation to a mechanical Precision Size Grader (PSG), which removes small pieces that are generated in the cutting process. Next, a Key Iso-Flo dewatering shaker removes any residual water while spreading and singulating product to feed the downstream VERYX sorter. Equipped with top- and bottom-mounted cameras and laser sensors, VERYX detects colour, size, shape and structural properties of every object, including the presence of chlorophyll, to find and remove defects and FM. As a belt-fed sorter that can view product entirely in-air with top and bottom sensors for full-surface inspection, VERYX is ideal for challenging shapes like large cubes and wedges. The VERYX architecture positions sensor windows, light sources and backgrounds away from product splatter so accurate inspection is sustained throughout long production cycles without operator intervention. Key’s mechanical product handling systems also enhance sanitation, with features such as open designs, fully welded frames, one-piece block pans, stainless steel bed surfaces, oil-free drives, label stand-offs and more. VERYX features next-generation four channel cameras and high-resolution laser sensors, which offer twice the resolution of previous sensor technology to find smaller FM and defects. Key’s Pixel Fusion technology combines pixel-level input from multiple cameras and laser sensors, producing higher contrasts to find difficultto-detect FM and defects. Key designed this apple sorting line to manage different apple and pear varietals, and various cut shapes and sizes with minimal changeover. Recipedriven operation enables VERYX to be changed over to handle a new product in seconds with only a couple of taps on the touchscreen, the company claimed. The SSR and PSG can be adjusted to manage different cut shapes and sizes. VERYX can also be equipped with Key’s Information Analytics software, which allows users to analyse and share big data across their enterprise via an OPCUA compliant infrastructure. Data about the sort process and about each and every object flowing through the sorter, whether the data is used to make sort decisions or not, is available to reveal patterns, trends and associations to optimise processes upstream and downstream of the easily bypassed.
