Sortina Premium, the automatic plant sorting machine. Efficiency, capacity, quality and ease of use in one machine.

Your plants sorted as efficiently as possible

Are you looking for an automated solution to sort your plants, where efficiency, capacity and ease of use are paramount? Then the Sortina Premium plant sorting machine by Vervos Agrotech is the machine you need.

With the Sortina Premium, your plants are automatically sorted in no time. The plants are loaded manually, after which the machine fully automatically sorts them by length, thickness and straightness. The plants are then counted and distributed in bundles by grade across several outfeed conveyors, where the bundles are removed manually. This gives you maximum efficiency and shortens sorting lead time.

Benefits at a glance

  • Greater capacity: plants with lengths from 15 to 250 cm and diameters from 2 to 40 mm can be sorted. A larger range is possible in consultation.

  • Labour-saving and less dependent on personnel with years of experience.

  • Reliable and accurate: uniform sorting and correct counting.

  • Flexible: suitable for multiple plant species and sizes.

  • Practical: easy to operate and quick for any team to learn.

  • No changeover: no changeover required between different plant types or sizes.

  • Single-position sorting: plants are not transferred to other modules within the machine, making the machine less susceptible to malfunctions.

Machine capacity and Efficiency

The capacity depends on the following parameters:

  • The plant species and the spread of the crown and roots; these determine the machine’s utilization rate.

  • The required measurements; for complex or advanced measurements, the throughput speed is a little lower.

  • The skill level of the personnel and the speed at which plants can be fed into the machine.

In practice, this results in an average capacity of 6,000 to 12,000 plants per hour. This corresponds to 1,000 to 2,000 plants per person per hour.

  • Acer platanoides

Customer testimonial

“The machine can sort a wide variety of plants, with lengths from 15 to 250 cm: from one-year seedlings to 1+2/1+3-year plants with extensive branching and wide plant spread. In addition to length and thickness, I can also sort rootstocks by straightness. This means I can use the machine throughout the season. I do not need to invest in several machines, and the machine has high capacity, allowing me to respond quickly to customer demand. I am also no longer dependent on employees with years of sorting skill; with this machine, anyone can sort every batch with consistent, high quality.”
