Onion is an indispensable ingredient in people's daily diet in South Asia and some neighboring countries. Bangladesh, Malaysia, UAE, and Sri Lanka are some of the largest importers of onions from India. India is an important onion growing and exporting country in the world. Onions are purple-red in appearance, with slightly reddish fleshy scales, oblate or orbicular in shape, 8 to 10 cm in diameter, and harvested from late May to early June. Onion for food is the underground fat bulb (i.e. onion head). It is known as the "queen of vegetables" and has a high nutritional value. It is one of the most important cash crops in India.
Balusu Bala Rao in India has been in the business of growing and selling onions. For the past two years, he has been thinking carefully about purchasing a new optical sorter to sort and grade onion crops before the sale. After purchasing an onion color sorter produced by GroTech, they were sure they had made the right decision.
Balusu Bala Rao chose the kx60 belt color sorter in the kx series. Its assembly and installation at the factory are handled by the local after-sales service department, with remote technical support from GroTech.The belt color sorter produced by GroTech was in continuous operation during the onion harvest, and finally sorted 3,000 tons of onions. By the end of the first harvest season, the expected benefits were well proven. The kx60 brings complete flexibility to production, which can be precisely managed at any time. The Start-up and adjustment of the machine are easily mastered by the team. And remote support also frees them from the worries of equipment maintenance.
Jagadeeshwaran, GroTech's Regional Sales Manager in India, said: “GroTech has integrated proven state-of-the-art technology into the new belt machine. This machine meets the requirements of the manufacturer: high volume management of high volumes, robustness, and simple maintenance. ”
In addition to sorting onions, this belt color sorter can also be used to sort seeds. To harvest good onions, you must plant them with good seeds. Onion seeds also need to undergo color sorting, which is a very critical process. Impurities in the onion seeds that have not undergone color sort are mixed with defective products and fake seeds. Farmers buy defective seeds and fake seeds back. This year's planting has no harvest and heavy losses. The sorting of onion seeds is mainly to sort the yellowed grains and other foreign particles of different colors in the onion seeds, so as to improve the quality of the good seeds. GroTech's color sorter monitors incoming onion seeds in real-time through an image acquisition and processing system. By comparing with the color data of the stored onion seed samples, it can detect very small color differences and effectively remove the onions by color sorting. Hetero-chromatic grain seeds and impurities in seeds. After the onion seeds after color selection is excluded from the bad varieties with yellowed grains and different-colored grains, the identity of good onion seeds is doubled. With the correct planting method, the harvest can increase the yield, and the capital and cost of farmers and farmers will not be wasted.
