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.





Ananda / Godavari
When I visited the Laitram facility in New Orleans, the immense benefits of the laser scanning grader were immediately obvious to me. The two machines I initially purchased now grade the vast majority of the material at two facilities. After using the machines for 3 months, it is now impossible for me to go back to roller grading. As a result, I have placed an order for a 3rd unit. I am convinced this is the new standard for our industry and will replace roller grading.
