Key Technology Introduces Manta® for Potato Chips/Crisps

Key Technology introduces Manta® for potato chips/crisps. This state-of-the-art high volume sorter features a two-meter wide scan area that dramatically increases throughput within a space-saving footprint. Handling up to 3.5 metric tons (7,700 pounds) of potato chips per hour, Manta maximizes production capacity while optimizing product quality to help processors match final product specifications. 

With its high intensity discharge (HID) illumination system and Key’s proprietary color cameras, Manta recognizes millions of subtle color differences, easily identifying the green, purple, and blue defects that are important to potato chip processors. The highest resolution scanning allows Manta to detect and remove even the smallest defects.
