Zhongde Color Sorter Precisely Sorts Peanuts, Helping Nut Processing Enterprises Improve Quality and Efficiency
News Release Date: April 27, 2026
As global consumers' demands for food quality and safety continue to rise, efficient and precise sorting technology has become a core driver for high-quality development in the nut processing industry. Xingtai Zhongde Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., a national high-tech enterprise specializing in intelligent sorting equipment, has recently achieved major breakthroughs in peanut color sorting. Its latest intelligent color sorter uses advanced recognition technology and high-efficiency processing to help nut enterprises improve production efficiency and product quality.
Peanut sorting has long faced challenges such as moldy kernels, shriveled kernels, stones, glass, and plastic impurities. These issues affect product quality, taste, and consumer safety, while also harming enterprise benefits and brand reputation. Traditional manual or simple mechanical sorting has low efficiency, poor accuracy, high costs, and unstable performance, failing to meet modern production standards.
To solve these problems, Zhongde's R&D team developed a new intelligent color sorter integrating high-resolution CMOS imaging, multispectral analysis, and AI deep learning algorithms. The equipment scans each peanut at ultra-high speed from multiple angles, accurately identifying mold, black spots, and various impurities by color, shape, texture, and spectral features.
The sorter delivers exceptional processing capacity with an optimized feeding system and high-speed ejector valves, achieving several tons per hour of single-machine output. Its modular design ensures strong anti-interference and environmental adaptability, running stably in dusty, humid workshop conditions with minimal maintenance.
The user-friendly touch screen interface allows easy parameter setup for different peanut varieties. The self-learning function continuously optimizes sorting accuracy, while real-time yield statistics, defect reports, and equipment monitoring support refined production management and quality traceability.
Currently, the sorter is widely used in large nut processing bases and export enterprises across China. Customers report an impurity removal rate of over 99.9%, significantly higher premium product rates, and a 70% reduction in manual re-inspection costs. It helps enterprises control food safety risks, enhance market competitiveness, and solve labor shortages.
A Zhongde representative stated: "We focus on customer needs and technological innovation. The peanut color sorter demonstrates our expertise in integrating optical and algorithm technologies with industrial applications. We will expand sorting technology to more agricultural and industrial products, providing Zhongde's solutions for global industrial intelligence."
As "Intelligent Manufacturing in China" advances, Zhongde is accelerating the automation and intelligent transformation of traditional industries, supporting the quality and safety of the global supply chain.
