“Along with our client we could estimate the time to payback precise”

Instead of coming up with specific solutions for each problem instead, we offer an array of flexible solutions that are part of a standard solution. This is why we designed an Xcalibur optical sorter. This is a flexible system to meet the needs of each client’s capacity and requirements, and it is available in a variety of sizes,” says Antoine van Kasteren from OptiServe. “Thanks to this flexibility the additional costs associated with development are kept in check. This means that we are able to give you a cost-effective, flexible solution. We also can determine the time to payback exact with our client.”

Camara Integration New to Exalubur 2.0

The pandemic was a time when orders dropped, which meant the company was unable to visit clients; Antoine, thus, chose to make use of the time to develop a better sorting method that they call the Xcalibur. What resulted? What’s next? Xcalibur frame 2.0. It’s a new version of the original model from OptiServe, that has been available on the market since. The Dutch company doesn’t focus on the entire line of products, but rather the standard version that users can modify to suit the needs of their customers. The versatile machine can be used to make a range of different types of products such as nuts, chips as well as non-food products.

The improvement of many aspects

The Xcalibur 2.0 has been updated both in both a technological and mechanical sense. Mechanical upgrades include discharge valves, air conditioning as well as detection belts. The latest version features 3CCD cameras as well as LED lighting to facilitate sorting and reduce the energy usage. The program is continually upgraded based on research conducted in the company and feedback from customers. users always having access to the latest version of software.

“A pickedle’s not just any pickle”

A unique example of innovation is the pickle grade. They come in a variety of forms and are usually sorting manually. OptiServe created an algorithm for automating picking up. While the Xcalibur may cost more than other machines, it reduces labour and increases efficiency, therefore the investment will pay off. The business can collaborate with customers to determine the amount of FTEs that can be reduced and also the value of the investment.


Deformed sorted pickles

Due to the shortage of labor as well as the trend towards automation, OptiServe offers solutions such as the Xcalibur as well as the Glide Machine, which can top and tail non-sorted French fries. They are made to run efficiently and effectively and often have higher yields and less expense as compared to other competitors. OptiServe is looking forward to a time that will see further advancements, such as using infrared cameras as well as AI technology, will continue making their machines more durable as well as functionality. Its Xcalibur 2.0 will be presented at Interpom at the end of November guests will be able to view the machine at work and find out more about the features and benefits.
