Grain sorting

Sort a wide range of grain varieties such as wheat, rye, barley oats and more. Pinpoint and eject troublesome defects like foreign material and aflatoxin using Bühler’s Optical Sorting Technology.

We understand the complexities of sorting different grain varieties; whole, grits, hulled and unhulled. We also understand that different grains present different challenges and contaminants such as foreign materials, seeds, discoloration and mycotoxins such as aflatoxins and DON. Our optical sorters can help.

We have developed various models, featuring different technologies to match specific sorting requirements including capacity.
