SMART PRECISION SHRIMP SORTER IS SETTING THE NEW STANDARD FOR SHRIMP GRADING

Shrimp & Langostino Sorting with Laser Precision

90+ sorters, proven payback of less than 1 year.

Billions of lbs each year

Save of $0.07 to $0.15/lb compared to roller graders with 6 to 12 months paybacks.

03 Imaging

A 3D laser scans each shrimp to measure its size and other dimensional attributes.

04 Ejection

After being measured by the 3D laser, shrimp are air-blown into their respective bin/tote.

01 Automatic Feeding

This is the space to introduce the Product section and showcase the types of products available.

02 Singulation

All shrimp are singulated and separated evenly across six high-speed belts.

The SMART Sorter automatically scans each shrimp and uses laser imaging, AI, and computer vision algorithms to inspect, grade, and sort each shrimp.

Benefits

Accurate grading is crucial for the shrimp industry. When large shrimp are incorrectly graded into lower-priced categories, their selling price decreases, leading to lower profits. The cost of manual labor for removing incorrectly graded shrimp is inefficient. Precise grading enhances purchasing by improving the alignment between purchased materials and active production goals.

Maximize the value of each shrimp.

Upgrade shrimp to the most valuable count.

Keep a tighter UR

Improve your size distribution, precisely target average counts.

Reduce Laber

Eliminate regrading and vastly reduce QC/AQ labor. Fewer eyes and hands mean less touching and fewer errors.

Increase Target Size %

Increase the percentage (%) of the target size you intend to grade.

Features & Applications

HLSO PUD HOSO

HLSO capacity range:
3,600 Kg/Hr (7,900 Lb/Hr) based on 25 count per pound to 2,250 Kg/Hr (4,950 Lb/Hr) based on a 40 count per pound.

We regraded 500,000 lbs of HLSO Shrimp for Top processors from Ecuador, India, and Honduras and obtained conservative savings of $0.05 to $0.12/lb or $500K to $+1M ANNUALLY when using the SMART sorter.

Case study: The Hidden Problem
Big Shrimp Giveaway

BIG SHRIMP GIVEAWAY: Putting Large Shrimp in a lot and getting small shrimp money for them!

When large shrimp are mis-graded into lower-priced categories, their selling price is reduced. This problem quietly costs thousands of dollars daily even to the most efficient Shrimp processors. Roller graders lack the visibility and precision to define the weight limits for each bin the way the SMART Sorter can. Even the best operators cannot improve on this fundamental limitation.

We obtained a tighter UR and improved the size distribution of the product from every single supplier. The SMART Sorter targeted the smallest count within a grade, avoiding selling big shrimp as smaller counts. Improvements range from $0.07 to $0.12 per pound. We improved the consistency of the product.

After analyzing the results and seeing the enormous potential to improve our operations, we
placed an order for 4 machines. After seeing the first 2 machines run, we knew that we had
made the right decision, and rush ordered the 5th machine. The upgrade economics are exactly “payback less than one year”. (Own 6 Sorters)

Mr. Preesarak Boonmechote, Managing Director, Thai Union, Thailand.

After seeing the working of the laser scanning grading machine during our visit to the testing
facility of Laitram Inc in New Orleans, we were convinced with the technology and accuracy of
grading that this machine can do.
We have installed 3 laser scanning grading machines in 3 different facilities. After using the
machines for 6-12 months, we believe that this will be the new standard for our industry and
will replace roller graders from the industry.

The Smart Sorter gives more control over the grading data and more flexibility to grading
strategies… We were so satisfied with this machine. And we decided to invest two (04)
additional SMART Sorters.

Ta Van Vung, Director General, Soc Trang Seafood Joint Stock – Stapimex, Vietnam.

It is the highlight of my buyer’s tours. A year ago the idea that I could grade once and only
once for any and all product was almost unimaginable. The idea that I could replace a room
full of check weights and laborers with a single automated machine was a fantasy. With the
Smart Sorter, those ideas have become reality. Now, I am doing it faster, at higher quality, with better process yields, all while cutting my
grading staff by 70%.
