IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) fruits and vegetables present unique sorting challenges distinct from fresh vegetables. Handling products in low-temperature environments leads to significant physical exhaustion for manual pickers during prolonged shifts, often resulting in missed detections due to visual fatigue. Meanwhile, surface frost and particle adhesion can obscure defects such as discolorations, black spots, and mold. Additionally, frozen clumps and adhering defective products, defects specific to IQF scenarios, further intensify the sorting difficulty.
The Legende HF Plus series is an intelligent vision-based sorting system tailored for this scenario. It employs ultra-high-resolution RGB (UHR-RGB) VIS imaging and proprietary AI deep learning algorithms to scan IQF fruits and vegetables. By analyzing color, shape, texture, and edge features, and equipped with high-performance air ejectors, it achieves ultra-high-precision rejection of discolorations, surface blemishes, clumps, adhesion, and foreign material within milliseconds.
Empowered by AI-driven surface feature recognition, the system continuously learns from real production data, steadily improving its detection accuracy. This means the equipment's performance is not static after deployment; instead, it continuously adapts and improves as production data accumulates, delivering stable and reliable sorting performance. This enables IQF fruit and vegetable processing plants significantly reduce reliance on manual labor, consistently deliver batches with extremely low defect rates, ensure food safety, and markedly enhance product quality and processing efficiency.
