Mariani Packing Company, the largest independent processor of dried fruit in the U.S., relies on innovative technology to improve operations. To help assure that customers always receive the highest quality product, Mariani installed Key Technology’s Optyx® Laser Sorter to identify and remove defects and foreign material from the product stream at full production speeds. For Mariani’s challenging product, one top-mounted color camera and one bottom-mounted color camera detect defects, while the top-mounted laser detects foreign material.
