Leaf series · Light leafy productDefects by product form
Leaves are not sorted like grains.
Bay leaves are thin, brittle and irregular. Flow, lighting and ejector settings are tuned to the leaf so that defects are removed without breaking sound leaves.
Defects we remove
Plant-based foreign matter
- Stems and twigs
- Weeds and foreign leaves
- Flower and seed remnants
- Broken and crumbled leaves
Other foreign material
- Stones and soil
- Plastic and string
- Paper and packaging
- Other foreign material
Accept/reject limits depend on the export specification; final criteria are set together during the sample test.
Sorting leafy product
Thin, brittle, irregular.
On a machine designed for grains, leaves overlap, break or get blown around by ejector air. The Leaf series was developed for these problems.
Dedicated flow
A wide vibratory feeder spreads leaves into a single layer before imaging.
Low-pressure ejectors
A precise ejector array at low air pressure removes defective leaves without blowing sound ones away.
Deep learning
The model evaluates colour, shape and texture on irregular leaves, telling stems and foreign leaves apart from sound bay leaves.
Recommended series
Leaf series for bay leaves
The Leaf series is designed for light leafy products, with a dedicated flow and a precise low-pressure ejector array.
The right model and capacity are chosen after your sample test. You can compare all series on our Machines page.
Machine selection
We start from your product, then size the line.
The same bay leaf is processed to different specifications depending on origin, drying method and target market. Input quality, target capacity and defects are evaluated together.
- We define the product and the defects to remove on your sample.
- We choose the technology and configuration for your target capacity.
- We review sorting quality and good-product loss together during the test.
Capacity and sorting results depend on product type, moisture and input quality, and are confirmed with your sample before quotation.
