Title: Zhongde Intelligent Color Sorter Precisely Sorts Rice, Technological Innovation Boosts Upgrading of Grain Processing Industry
Date: April 05, 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 comprehensively optimizing the color sorter's optical system, processing software, and actuating mechanisms. The new equipment employs a combination of high-resolution industrial cameras and multi-band light sources, enabling precise identification of subtle color differences, texture variations, and internal defects on material surfaces. Even immature grains or yellowed grains with colors similar to regular rice can be accurately identified and sorted out. Furthermore, the equipment is equipped with an intelligent dust removal system and an adaptive feeding device, ensuring stable sorting performance and a clean production environment during prolonged continuous operation.
In practical applications, this color sorter has demonstrated outstanding flexibility and reliability. Taking rice processing as an example, the equipment can quickly switch between preset sorting programs based on the characteristics of different varieties like japonica, indica, or glutinous rice, effectively handling various issues such as white-belly rice and chalky grains. For coarse cereal processing enterprises, the same machine can be used for sorting materials like millet, mung beans, and red beans through parameter adjustments, helping businesses reduce equipment investment and achieve multi-purpose use of a single machine. Additionally, the built-in IoT module can monitor operational status, energy consumption data, and sorting results in real-time. Data analysis via a cloud platform provides support for production management, assisting enterprises in achieving intelligent upgrades.
The company's technical lead stated, "The core advantage of the new-generation color sorter lies in its 'intelligent brain.' Our independently developed image processing algorithm is capable of continuous learning. As it accumulates data from processed materials, the sorting model becomes increasingly precise and efficient. This not only solves problems associated with traditional equipment, such as high false rejection rates and complex debugging, but also delivers long-term, stable efficiency improvements for our customers." Currently, this series of equipment is already in operation at well-known processing enterprises in several major grain-producing regions across Northeast and Central China, receiving high praise from users.
Looking ahead, Xingtai Zhongde Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. will continue to deepen its expertise in the intelligent sorting field. Leveraging solid R&D capabilities, the company aims to extend its successful experience to more material processing scenarios. It is reported that the company has already begun deploying sorting technologies for materials like traditional Chinese medicinal herbs, nuts, and recycled plastics, aiming to provide customized, high-value solutions for a broader range of industrial sorting needs and continuously drive the automation and intelligent advancement of the sorting industry.
Xingtai Zhongde Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. remains committed to driving development through innovation, dedicated to creating value for customers and contributing to industry progress through leading intelligent color sorting technology.
