Zhongde Intelligent Color Sorter Precisely Sorts Rice, Technological Innovation Boosts Upgrading of Grain Processing Industry
Date: April 03, 2026
Recently, Xingtai Zhongde Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. announced significant achievements of its latest generation CCD intelligent color sorter in the grain processing field. Designed specifically for the fine sorting of materials like rice and coarse cereals, this equipment integrates deep learning algorithms and multi-spectral imaging technology. It achieves high-precision removal of impurities such as broken rice, discolored grains, glass fragments, and stones, with a sorting accuracy exceeding 99.9%, effectively enhancing grain quality and processing efficiency.
As consumer demands for food safety and quality continue to rise, traditional manual sorting or mechanical screening struggle to meet the high standards of modern grain processing. Addressing this challenge, Zhongde Intelligent's R&D team spent two years optimizing the color sorter's optical system, processing software, and actuating mechanisms. The new equipment employs high-resolution industrial cameras and multi-band light sources, enabling precise identification of subtle color differences, texture variations, and internal defects. It is equipped with an intelligent dust removal system and adaptive feeding device, ensuring stable performance and a clean production environment during long-term operation.
In practical applications, this color sorter shows outstanding flexibility. It can quickly switch sorting programs for japonica, indica, and glutinous rice, and handle millet, mung beans, and red beans via parameter adjustments. The built-in IoT module monitors operational status, energy consumption, and sorting results in real time, supporting intelligent production upgrades through cloud platform data analysis.
The company's technical lead stated that the core advantage lies in its independent image processing algorithm, which continuously learns and optimizes the sorting model. It solves the problems of high false rejection rates and complex debugging of traditional equipment, bringing stable efficiency improvements to customers. The equipment has been put into use in well-known enterprises in major grain-producing regions and received high praise.
Looking ahead, Xingtai Zhongde Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. will deepen its layout in the intelligent sorting field and expand its technology to Chinese medicinal herbs, nuts, recycled plastics, and other scenarios. The company will continue to innovate and provide customized solutions to promote the automation and intelligent development of the sorting industry.
