The IMPULSE Soft Sorter uses a series of 40 dynamic inline sensors that detect soft, over-ripe and damaged blueberries.
Durability:
The Impulse Soft Sorter has been built with the durability that all WECO sorters are known for and can be fully washed down in line; the sensors are impervious to water, cleansers and can be scrubbed clean with a regular brush, all of which minimize down time.
Anti-microbial Technology:
The new IMPULSE Soft Sorter has been manufactured with an FDA approved resin that is anti-microbial. Each of the dynamic sensors has been individually manufactured with this anti-microbe resin and makes the soft sorter the safest of its kind in the industry.
Combine the BerryTek and IMPULSE Sorters for Multiple Levels of Sorting, Reduced Labor and Improved Pack-out.
The BerryTek and IMPULSE systems can be used as standalone units or in conjunction with each other, offering packers multiple levels of sorting. Combining the BerryTek and IMPULSE sorters allows the berries to be viewed three times for soft and two times for color in one pass dramatically reducing the need for human handling of the fruit. The BerryTek is still the only two-view sorter for fresh market packers that see two sides of the berry at the same time.
The new IMPULSE sorter has been extensively tested up and down the West Coast and we are very encouraged by the performance and the feedback from our customers. It is our belief that this system is the most technologically advanced, cost effective sorting system available on the market and that it should result in dramatically lower labor costs and significantly improved pack-out quality.
Discounted pricing is available for combined orders of the BerryTek and Impulse sorters. Call (800) 984-0844 for pricing and more information.
