LST COLOR SORTER

Nut Color Sorter

NUT SORTING

Nut sorting is not just a color question. Shell, mold, insect damage and broken material can look different by variety and processing stage, so handling and presentation need to be reviewed before choosing the platform.

What to send first

Nut type, whole or broken format, shell percentage, moisture condition and target throughput.

What we look for

Shell pieces, mold marks, insect damage, dark kernels and other visible contamination.

Where the platform starts

A belt sorter is often worth reviewing when gentle handling and stable presentation matter more than maximum chute throughput.

BEFORE QUOTING

Before we recommend a nut sorter

Nut sorting needs a handling review as much as an optical review, especially when the product is fragile or uneven.

  • Product formatWhole, broken, shelled, unshelled or mixed product, with the expected size range.
  • Visible rejectsShell, mold, insect damage, dark kernels or other defects that can be separated by appearance.
  • Handling limitWhether product breakage, rolling behavior or feed-layer control is a concern on the line.

Tell us which nut product you process, its size and condition, and the visible defects or shell material to remove.

Tell us about your sorting project

Share the material you process, the visible defects you need to remove and your target throughput. If you can send a representative sample, we can plan the selection around real test conditions.
