DixAir AI Optical Sorter

Protec introduces the DixAir line, the new benchmark in high-efficiency sorting for vegetables and diced fruit. Engineered to detect subtle defects—including off-colors, rot, and discoloration—the system is particularly effective for black, green, and white produce. For diced tomatoes, the specialized DixAir T is the industry’s premier choice.

Equipped with high-speed, high-resolution linear cameras, the DixAir examines products on a conveyor belt with unmatched precision. Images are processed via proprietary Protec electronic cards and powerful software, identifying defects as small as 0.5 x 0.25mm. These next-generation cameras offer increased spectral sensitivity, rapid data transfer, and a robust design for hostile environments.

To ensure consistent performance, the system features a unique, solid-state high-intensity lighting array, with an optional color vision system available upon request. A unique under-belt backlighting device further enhances defect visibility. Powered by advanced µP, DSP, and FPGA technology, the DixAir maximizes throughput while SMT integration ensures long-term hardware reliability in a compact footprint.
