Precision Shrimp Sorting Technology

Laitram Machinery's New SMART Solutions represents an entirely new approach to shrimp grading. The automatically-fed SMART Laser Sorter scans each and every shrimp in a lot. The machine uses computer vision algorithms to inspect, grade, and sort at a rate of 45 shrimp per second. 

​

BENEFITS  

​

• Maximize the value of each shrimp

• Exact precision and Uniformity

• Increase throughput, reduce costs

• Eliminate re-grading or manual inspection

• Shrimp by shrimp data to help you run your business 

​

​

This computer-controlled sorting technology allows a processor to:

​

• Upgrade shrimp to the most valuable products. 

• Precisely target average counts in real-time without experienced operators or tedious QA effort.

• Observe and refine the grading strategy for a lot in real-time to meet product demand.

• Meet and exceed a buyer's specified uniformity ratio requirement with ease.

• Eliminate error and time-consuming re-grading.

• Save, view, and analyze grading performance on a shrimp-by-shrimp, batch-by-batch, and day-by-day basis.

• Reject broken, damaged, and/or out-of-spec shrimp or foreign material.

Product Applications

​

The SMART Sorter works with HLSO and PUD and offers a capacity of about 3 MT/Hr, based on 25 count per pound HLSO. 

FEATURES

​

• The  SMART Sorter is available in two orientations and a variable number of sorting "bins" to fit the exact product flow and layout constraints of modern processors.

• The operator's visual interface is intuitive, easy to learn, and provides up-to-the-second grading information for the current batch.

• The SMART Portal data reporting tool provides online access to current and historical data to any web-enabled mobile or desktop browser.
