Consumption is becoming one of the ways for young people to portray a happy world. The new generation of post-90s has completely replaced the post-80s and has become the main consumer of the new era. According to data from QuestMobile, as of July 2020, my country's "digital natives" born in the 90s have reached 362 million, which has surpassed those born in the 80s. With the advent of the new era, some new changes will often occur, among which the structural changes of the consumer population have brought about the transformation of new consumption trends. From the past pursuit of practicality to the pursuit of quality improvement, consumers in the rice field are not only concerned about the problem of being able to eat, but also about whether they can eat well. A series of requirements such as nutritional value and appearance quality have become the elements of the pursuit of high-quality life. Faced with these requirements, this issue of "Entering the Cloud Vision of Color Sorting" ,let's walk into Dehui Deyang Rice Industry to see what changes they have made.

Pursuit of ultimate quality——Start with stringent requirements for needle-point size lesions

In 2015, when General Secretary Xi Jinping participated in the deliberations of the Jilin delegation at the Third Session of the Twelfth National People's Congress, he praised Jilin rice for its excellent taste and quality, saying that Jilin rice is a brand. In July of the same year, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Jilin for investigation and inspection. In the rice field base in Guangdong Village, Dongcheng Town, Yanbian and Long City, on the banks of the Hailan River, General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed the concept of "branding for food." For rice to be branded, quality is the key, and heterochromatic grains are one of the key factors affecting the quality of rice. In the selection of heterochromatic grains, we usually pay special attention to the selection of yellow grains. It is widely praised because of the name of the "anti-yellow expert". Ordinary color sorters can only sort light water yellow, while the SA cloud color sorter, known as the "anti-yellow expert", can realize the detection of fresh water yellow, Recognition and sorting of light yellow and dark rice. However, when sorting heterochromatic particles, we also need to pay special attention to the sorting of diseased particles. Of course, the current identification and sorting equipment has no problem in the selection of large diseased particles, but for the area of diseased spots, there is no way for lesions with a needle tip size of less than 1 square millimeter. The eagle-eye recognition technology of the SA cloud sorting machine has super recognition ability, which can effectively select extremely small lesions and create the ultimate quality.

Pursuit of ultimate quality——Don't ignore pure white edges, white hearts, broken hearts, white sorting

When consumers buy rice, they often pay attention to the appearance of rice first. The appearance quality of rice not only directly affects the quality of rice, but also affects the quality of rice processing, cooking and eating. Among the appearance quality of rice, the chalky grain rate and chalkiness are one of the key indicators. However, the situation of chalky grains in rice is actually quite complicated. There are pure white grains, side white grains, and heart white grains. In the side white grains, it can be divided into back white grains and abdominal white grains. Of course, according to chalkiness varies in size, and we can also divide it into heavy chalk and light chalk. In addition, we know that there are broken white particles. Therefore, for the sorting of chalky grains, there will be a variety of different sorting schemes according to actual needs. Based on the strict requirements for quality, Deyang Rice Industry requires first of all to sort pure chalky grains, and secondly, it also specifically requires the sorting of broken white and broken rice. Of course, foreign matter and impurities are absolutely not allowed. Therefore, when Deyang Rice Industry selects color sorting process and equipment, it first requires material foreign matter sorting. Therefore, we can see SC640 and SC640R on the production line of Deyang Rice Industry. Two cloud color sorters work together for chalky white and foreign matter, realize the white and clear one color and clean the impurities once, and simultaneously realize the effective sorting of pure white and marginal white, heart white, and broken white and broken rice.

Pursuit of ultimate quality——Sorting of varieties for precise classification of whole crushing and consistent grain shape

We know that in addition to indicators of chalky grain rate and chalkiness, the appearance quality of rice has another key indicator that is grain shape. The uniformity of the grain shape of the rice reflects the consistency of the rice varieties. At present, rice processing enterprises often face the situation of mixed varieties. Traditional grading equipment only classifies whole rice and broken rice, and cannot solve the problem of variety sorting. In addition, the classification of whole rice and broken rice generally separates whole rice, mixed rice, small broken rice and other different grades, whole broken rice cannot be effectively sorted at one time. Deyang Rice Industry abandoned the traditional grading equipment in the back-end smashing and grading process, combined the grading process and the color sorting process into one, and directly used the Anysort SD cloud color sorting machine to perform the same sorting, which can realize yellow and white. The color recognition and sorting of the grains can also realize the effective grading of whole broken rice and the recognition and sorting of different species.

Consumption of new food generations, new trends in consumption. Facing new consumption concepts and new consumer groups, rice processing companies can only keep up with the changes of the times, adapt to the personalized, high-quality, nutritious and healthy requirements of young consumers of the new food generation, and create extraordinary product capabilities, so that they can survive and develop healthily.

Anysort technology leads the future. Anysort cloud color sorter and color sorting 6S process help consumers iteratively upgrade the quality of new food generation rice, and look forward to working with you to create a new era of rice color sorting. For more exciting stories about 6S, please look forward to the next issue!
