manage incoming raw materials and<br />

optimize <strong>pro</strong>cesses, achieving the next<br />

level in operational efficiency.<br />

VERYX eliminates the need for manual<br />

inspection, which decreases labor costs<br />

and ensures more consistent FM and<br />

defect removal while maximizing yields.<br />

To ease use and simplify operator training,<br />

a highly intuitive UI <strong>pro</strong>vides different<br />

views to users of various levels depending<br />

on their needs. Recipe-driven operation<br />

ensures customers can count on consistent<br />

performance from their VERYX sorter<br />

day in, day out. Operator qualification<br />

requirements are reduced, allowing a<br />

minimally-skilled individual to become a<br />

<strong>pro</strong>ficient user of the system in one hour.<br />

most difficult-to-detect FM and defects.<br />

Pixel Fusion helps VERYX to better identify<br />

specific FM types and enable the optional<br />

FMAlert function to send a smart alarm if<br />

a critical quality <strong>pro</strong>blem occurs, so quick<br />

corrective action can be taken. FMAlert<br />

also saves a time-stamped image of<br />

every critical piece of FM detected by the<br />

sorter, which helps <strong>pro</strong>cessors document<br />

and pinpoint <strong>pro</strong>duct quality events and<br />

trends.<br />

Key equips every VERYX with their<br />

Discovery suite of software capabilities,<br />

which enables the sorter to collect, analyze<br />

and share data while continuing to sort<br />

<strong>pro</strong>duct. By harnessing data about the sort<br />

<strong>pro</strong>cess and about every object flowing<br />

through the sorter, Discovery can reveal<br />

patterns and trends that im<strong>pro</strong>ve sorting<br />

and control upstream and downstream<br />

<strong>pro</strong>cesses. The information that Discovery<br />

<strong>pro</strong>vides allows <strong>pro</strong>cessors to better<br />

Key manufactures equipment in both<br />

the US and Europe, supports customers<br />

worldwide and offers integration services,<br />

from pre-engineering to line start-up.<br />

Complete line solutions can include the<br />

integration of third-party equipment<br />

along with Key’s sorting, conveying and<br />

needs of each application.<br />

Quick and Gentle Mixing<br />

A diverse range of pet food is the trend of the moment. New <strong>pro</strong>ducts and firms of presentation are in demand.<br />

More and more importance is being placed on quality. The unique and very gentle mixing technology of<br />

the Inotec VarioMix can be optimally used for numerous applications in food and pet food <strong>pro</strong>duction. The<br />

VarioMix is characterized by extremely short mixing times, gentle <strong>pro</strong>cessing, optimum homogeneity of the<br />

<strong>pro</strong>duct, cooking and cooling functions as well as extremely fast emptying with smallest quantities of residual<br />

<strong>pro</strong>duct.<br />

With the VarioMix, both aggressive<br />

and gentle mixing are possible. The<br />

mixing spirals operate in individually<br />

adapted wave patterns and they are<br />

independently adjustable in speed and<br />

direction of rotation. The usable volume<br />

of the VarioMix ranges from 350 to 4,000<br />

liters and always <strong>pro</strong>vides sufficient<br />

power reserves thanks to generously<br />

designed drives. It is therefore perfectly<br />

suited for the <strong>pro</strong>duction of a wide variety<br />

of <strong>pro</strong>ducts in small batches, but is also<br />

ideal for rubbing large pieces of meat.<br />
