As an online system, Taste Tech's NIR technology will operate at normal sorter operating speeds. Many types of fruit can be sorted at 720 fruit per minute.
Not at all - NIR sorting has the same effect as holding the fruit near a bright lamp for less than a second. There is no direct contact, and the fruit is not damaged in any way.
The cost of the NIR is calculated on how many lanes you are looking to use NIR on and the fruit or produce you are trying to sort. Please click here for a free no obligation quote.

Taste Tech is currently sorting many fruit and vegetables around the world, these varieties include the following.
The SEP is not the standard deviation of a sample, it can although be considered as the standard deviation of the prediction residuals. It is used as a performance measure for NIR spectroscopy and can be interpreted as the average difference between the predicted and actual value in a prediction set. SEP for us measures the precision of the predictions. We often get more than one spectrum per fruit and we run the mathematical model on each individually to get a predicted value for the property being measured.
