Introduction to the development of my country's color sorter industry

The color sorter is a fast food sorting equipment that integrates high-tech achievements such as light, machinery, electricity, and gas. It is mainly used for yellowing, mildew, impurities and other heterochromatic grains of rice, peanuts, melon seeds, sesame seeds, etc. Sorting is an important equipment to ensure food safety and quality. The equipment was first commercialized by developed countries abroad, but due to technology monopoly, its manufacturers have been limited to a few developed countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, and Japan.

With the liberalization of the national grain policy after the reform and opening up in the 1980s, my country's grain supply has transformed from a planned economy model of unified purchase and marketing to market-led free trade. Product quality has become an important determinant in the process of grain circulation, and some of them are strong. Of grain processing companies are the first to use color sorters to improve their competitiveness.

However, due to the relatively backward domestic technology at that time, the color sorter products mainly relied on imports, and its high price, incomplete after-sales service and technical support severely hindered the promotion and application of color sorters by my country's grain production enterprises.

The huge gap between demand and supply provides an opportunity for the development of my country's color sorter industry. Some domestic grain machinery companies are targeting this market and have begun to set foot in the field of color sorter manufacturing. In the 1990s, Hefei Jiexun Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. took the lead to enter this field. After years of concentrated research and hard work, domestic color sorter companies have gradually mastered the core technology of producing color sorters, broke the technological monopoly of foreign color sorter industry, and gradually dominated the domestic color sorter market.

While the domestic color sorting machine companies continue to grow, the sustained and rapid development of the Chinese economy has made people’s living standards increasingly improved, and the people’s requirements for food hygiene and quality have increased accordingly, and the country has also started to implement the food QS quality certification system in due course. All this has further promoted the prosperity and progress of my country's color sorter industry.
