The Sidewinder sorter is a unique multi-drop sorting solution, with a robust design that performs well in any packing environment. Sidewinder has gained wide acceptance from single and multi-commodity growers for its ability to accurately size and grade a wide variety of products utilizing the same versatile carrier. Our unique infeed systems provide labor-free product placement onto the carrier while optimally presenting the product to our ID Technology AI-powered optical system, giving you superior grading results.

The key to Sidewinder’s success is its ability to rotate your product 360 degrees while it is photographed. Our vision technology includes two 3.2 mega pixel HD cameras, mounted at opposing 45-degree angles to each lane. Each camera can simultaneously take both color and infrared images. Custom-tuned LED gives us precision control of imaging conditions, differentiating the spectrum of light used to best inspect your product. Multiple HD images of each rotating product are analyzed by the AI-powered ID Technology system, giving you consistent, optimal results. And our intuitive user interface allows you to easily change sizing and grading parameters by any combination of length, diameter, area, color, shape and external quality. Live imaging means you can instantly see what your changes will mean for each sort.
