VISTASORT
VistaSort 3-Chute Color Sorter
The VistaSort 3-Chute color sorter sorts 4 to 9 tonnes per hour for seed plants, grain processors and pulse and specialty crop facilities. High-resolution CCD cameras and real-time image processing remove colour defects, foreign material, splits and discoloured product.
It sits between the 2-Chute and the 5-Chute: more capacity than a 2-Chute without the footprint of a larger multi-chute system.
Made by Vistasort in Saskatoon.
Key Applications
VistaSort color sorters remove discoloured seed, ergot, splits and foreign material, helping commercial seed cleaning plants work toward certified and export-grade targets.
Seed Cleaning Plants
Installed after gravity separators, indent separators, or air screen cleaners, VistaSort systems provide the final step in producing consistent, high-quality grain.
Grain Processing Facilities
Ideal for lentils, peas, and beans, VistaSort color sorters detect subtle color defects, splits, and foreign material to improve product grade and reduce shrink.
Pulse & Bean Processing
From canola and flax to mustard and niche oilseeds, VistaSort systems deliver precise optical sorting for crops that require tight quality tolerances.
Specialty Crop Operations
3-Chute Capacity
Three chutes, each with its own cameras and ejectors, give steady throughput of 4 to 9 tonnes per hour while keeping precise optical detection.
01 - Three Independent Sorting Chutes
Each chute can be adjusted for different seed and grain types, improving sorting efficiency across multiple crops.
02 - Flexible Crop Settings
Ideal for growing operations that plan to expand into higher-capacity optical color sorting in the future.
03 - Scalable Sorting Solution
