Abstract

A laser line is provided for providing separation of hazelnut from items thereof, which are not compliant to standard, in hazelnut processing facility. The laser line comprises at least one first detection module having at least one first detection unit for use in visual picking of hazelnut on said laser line, and at least one second detection unit provided at the continuation of said first detection unit and which provides keeping of the items, which are not suitable to standard and which are not kept by the first detection unit, by means of visual detection, and at least one second detection module provided at the continuation of said first detection module and which can provide keeping of the items, which are not suitable to standard and which exist in hazelnut, by detecting said items by means of laser scanning.

Claims (14)

1. A laser line for providing a separation of hazelnut from items thereof in a hazelnut processing facility, wherein the laser line comprises:

a first detection module having a first detection unit for use in visual picking of hazelnut on the laser line, and a second detection unit provided at a continuation of the first detection unit, wherein the second detection unit provides keeping of the items, the items are not suitable to standard and the items are not kept by the first detection unit, by means of a visual detection, and

a second detection module provided at a continuation of the first detection module, wherein the second detection module is allowed to provide keeping of the items, the items are not suitable to standard and the items exist in hazelnut, by detecting the items by means of laser scanning, and wherein a first cyclone is provided on the first detection module.

2. The laser line according to claim 1 , wherein the first detection module is a nimbus-sourced picker.

3. The laser line according to claim 1 , wherein a first laser bunker is provided on the first detection module.

4. The laser line according to claim 1 , wherein a first sensor is provided on the first detection module.

5. The laser line according to claim 1 , wherein a first discharge way and a first transport way are provided on the first detection unit.

6. The laser line according to claim 1 , wherein a second discharge way and a second transport way are provided on the second detection unit.

7. The laser line according to claim 1 , wherein the second detection module is a helius-sourced picker.

8. The laser line according to claim 1 , wherein a second cyclone is provided on the second detection module.

9. The laser line according to claim 1 , wherein a second laser bunker is provided on the second detection module.

10. The laser line according to claim 1 , wherein a third discharge way and a third transport way are provided on the second detection module.

11. The laser line according to claim 1 , wherein a sieve is provided at a continuation of the second detection module.

12. The laser line according to claim 11 , wherein a discharge conveyor and a clean product way are provided where the sieve is connected.
