Grain Optical Sorting At Buhler, we understand the complexities of different grain varieties; whole, grits, hulled, unhulled and the contaminants present; foreign material, seeds, subtle discolouration and mycotoxins such as aflatoxins and DON. Below is a small selection of different grain variety, its common and challenging defects and application possibilities with SORTEX® optical sorters. Soft/Hard Wheat Suitable for a range of wheat varieties including grains at different stages of the processing line to remove subtle defects, discolouration and mycotoxins such as DON. Durum Wheat...

Grain Optical Sorting Oats Suitable for unhulled, hulled, and kilned oats/groats. Reduces crosscontamination from other grain varieties, discolouration, subtle spots and various foreign material. Barley Highly effective in identifying and removing moulds and mycotoxins including vomitoxin (DON). Also used to minimise crosscontamination, broken, shrunken, shrivelled or naked barley grains. Millet/Sorghum Accurately detects and ejects damaged, discoloured, diseased grains, foreign seeds and field materials from a wide range of millet including unhulled or groats, to deliver consistent product...

Grain Optical Sorting Wheat An application sample test on wheat, successfully removed vomitoxin (DON), ergot, discolouration, broken and insect damaged grains. Foreign grains such as barley, oats and soya can also be successfully removed, to minimise cross-contamination. Durum The application sample successfully removed small and subtle spots, tip defects and fusarium. Note: Low protein grains can also be removed for protein durum wheat sorting applications. Barley The SORTEX® optical sorter used for the above sample test has been optimised to remove naked, cracked kernels and foreign...
