Zhongde Color Sorter Intelligently Sorts Rice, Boosting Quality and Efficiency in the Grain Processing Industry
June 1, 2026
Recently, the R&D team of Xingtai Zhongde Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. has made new breakthroughs in the field of intelligent color sorting technology. Its latest generation of hyperspectral fusion intelligent color sorters has demonstrated exceptional performance in sorting scenarios for impurities such as off-color grains, glass, stones, and deteriorated grains during rice processing. Both sorting accuracy and efficiency have reached industry-leading levels, providing powerful technical equipment support for ensuring food safety and enhancing product added value.
As consumer demands for food quality and safety continue to rise, the rice processing industry faces increasingly stringent standards for impurity removal and quality grading during production. Traditional methods relying on manual labor or basic photoelectric detection can no longer meet the demands of modern high-efficiency, high-precision production. Xingtai Zhongde Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., keenly identifying market pain points and drawing on years of deep accumulation in image recognition, artificial intelligence algorithms, and optical sensing, has successfully launched the DX series of intelligent color sorters specifically designed for small granular materials like rice.
The core advantage of this equipment lies in its unique solution that deeply integrates multispectral imaging technology with deep learning algorithms. Unlike ordinary color sorters that rely solely on color differences, Zhongde's device can simultaneously capture the optical characteristics of materials across multiple spectral bands, accurately identifying impurities that have subtle differences from normal rice in terms of color, shape, and even internal composition. For instance, glass fragments with a color similar to rice grains, or barely visible spots caused by early-stage mildew, are often missed by traditional equipment. Zhongde's hyperspectral technology, however, enables efficient identification and removal, significantly reducing food safety risks.
In terms of production efficiency, this series of color sorters is equipped with an ultra-high-speed solenoid valve ejection system and an optimized material dispersion device. This ensures that rice is evenly distributed and passes through the channels at high speed, while identified non-conforming products are instantly ejected, greatly increasing the single-machine processing capacity. This effectively helps processing enterprises reduce unit energy consumption and labor costs. Its user interface is designed to be simple and intuitive, with flexible parameter adjustments, allowing easy adaptation to the sorting requirements of different rice varieties and grades. This represents a leap from "extensive sorting" to "refined, customized sorting."
A representative from Xingtai Zhongde Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. stated: "We are always committed to applying the most cutting-edge intelligent sensing technology to actual industrial production. This color sorter, optimized for rice, not only reflects our innovation in core algorithms and optical systems but also integrates our deep understanding of grain processing technology. We hope that through stable and efficient intelligent sorting solutions, we can become a trusted partner for the vast number of grain processing enterprises, working together to safeguard 'safety on the tip of the tongue' and promote the industry's transformation and upgrading towards intelligence and high quality."
Currently, this equipment has been put into use in several large-scale rice companies in China. Customer feedback indicates its performance is stable and maintenance is straightforward, with notable effects in improving the rate of high-quality products and reducing customer complaints. Xingtai Zhongde Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. will continue to deepen its work in the field of intelligent sorting, constantly expanding the application boundaries of its technology in sorting different materials, providing smarter and more reliable "Zhongde" solutions for numerous industries including agricultural products, recycled resources, and minerals.
