The Satake AlphaScan™ is designed and engineered to bring low cost color sorting to industries previously outside the expenditure range of high accuracy sorting. It is particularly suitable for ergot, foreign grain and stone removal from wheat and barley, black tip removal from durum and the recovery of good grain ejected by mechanical separators. It also has applications in the removal of pink tinted fusarium damaged wheat. Processors of other products such as rice, beans and pulses also benefit from the machine's high capacity at low cost.

Capacity on ergot removal from wheat: 12 - 16 tonnes per hour.
