Because raw quinoa, same as wheat, rice, barley, sorghum, etc., which contain many hetero-chromatic granules, moldy granules as well as foreign items. Which need to be rejected by a color sorter machine to reduce the harm to the human body, the use of a color sorter machine will not reduce the nutrient content of quinoa itself, recognize and pay attention to color sorting process can effectively reduce the impurity and enhance the nutritional value of quinoa.
It is very important to choose a good color sorting machine. The SKY GM Series color sorting machine adopts excellent industrial professional CCD sensor and international standard billion-pixel high-speed scanning imaging system, which enable machine do an accurate job to identify & reject out the dark, white, moldy and other heterochromatic particulate impurities .
