What makes the MEYER KD UHD AI different from standard belt color sorters?
+
The KD Series goes significantly beyond standard color sorting with two key advanced capabilities: small target defect detection and defect quantification. It identifies wormholes, mold, shriveled kernels, and heterochromatic particles that are extremely difficult to detect with normal sorting — and it measures the volume and surface area of each detected defect for more accurate classification. This allows up to 12 quality grades in a single pass, which no standard sorter can achieve.
What is defect quantification and why is it important?
+
Defect quantification means the KD Series does not just detect whether a defect exists — it measures the size of the defect (both volume and surface area) and uses this measurement to classify the product into the appropriate quality grade. For example, a grain with a very small wormhole may still qualify for a lower grade, while one with a large wormhole is rejected entirely. This precision grading maximizes yield value by sorting products into the most accurate grade rather than simply rejecting anything with any defect.
How many quality grades can the KD Series sort in one pass?
+
The MEYER KD UHD AI can achieve up to 12 distinct quality grades in a single pass. This is particularly valuable for processors supplying multiple markets — premium retail, food service, export, and industrial grades — all requiring different quality specifications. Achieving this with one machine eliminates the need for multiple sorting passes or separate machines for different grades.
What types of small target defects can the KD Series detect?
+
The KD Series is specifically engineered to detect small target defects that are extremely difficult for standard sorters to identify. These include wormholes (including very small entry holes), heterochromatic particles (subtle color variations), mold spots, shriveled or undersized kernels, insect damage, and other micro-level surface and structural defects. The UHD imaging system identifies objects as small as 0.0025 mm² for maximum precision.
What foreign materials can the KD Series remove?
+
Beyond defective product pieces, the KD Series removes harmful foreign materials including glass fragments, stones, insects, and woven bag fibres — all of which are critical food safety hazards. This makes the KD Series suitable not just for quality grading but also for food safety compliance, particularly important for processors supplying retail chains, food service companies, and export markets with strict contamination standards.
What are the technical specifications of the MEYER KD UHD AI?
+
The KD Series uses model 6SXZ-48KD with 6.0 kW power, operating on 340–420V / 50Hz (three-phase power) at 0.6–0.8 MPa air pressure with ≤3.0 m³/min air consumption. Machine dimensions are 9200×1700×1400 mm and weight is 1,750 kg. Note that this machine requires three-phase 340–420V power supply — different from the single-phase 180–240V of other KD models.
Can multiple KD units be combined for higher capacity?
+
Yes. The KD Series supports multiple execution units, meaning processors can combine two or more KD units to build higher-capacity sorting lines. This modular approach allows businesses to start with one unit and scale up as production volume grows — without replacing the existing machine or changing the processing line layout significantly.
What products and industries is the MEYER KD UHD AI suitable for?
+
The KD Series is suitable for high-precision sorting in Cashew kernels, wheat processing, grain and cereal processing, pulse and lentil processing, seed sorting, and other food and agricultural applications where wormhole detection, small defect identification, and multi-grade quality classification are required. Its foreign material detection also makes it suitable for food safety compliance applications across these industries.
What is the MEYER KD UHD AI and what defects does it detect?
+
The MEYER KD UHD AI Smart Belt Color Sorter identifies heterochromatic particles, mold, shriveled kernels, wormholes, and other small target defects that are difficult to catch with normal sorting methods, along with harmful foreign materials like glass, stones, insects, and woven bags.
What is defect quantification on the KD Series?
+
The KD Series measures both volume and surface defects for more accurate classification, rather than relying on color detection alone — enabling finer-grained quality grading.
How many quality grades can the KD Series sort into?
+
The system can achieve up to 12 quality grades in a single pass and supports multiple execution units for building higher-capacity sorting solutions.
What are the specifications of the 48KD model?
+
The 6SXZ-48KD operates at 6.0 kW, ≤3.0 m³/min air consumption, 0.6–0.8 MPa air pressure, 9200×1700×1400 mm dimensions, and 1,750 kg weight — please confirm voltage rating with NICPL before publishing, as it differs from other models on the site.
