When sorting fresh and wet olives, processors face the tough challenge of identifying colorless structural defects—such as wrinkled skin, subtle physical damage, and bruising—that traditional color-only sorters miss, all while preserving olive integrity in high-moisture environments. The Golden® LY Series Fresh & Wet Material Sorting Machine solves this with industry-leading deep learning and multi-dimensional recognition technology, delivering ≥99% sorting accuracy for olives and setting a new benchmark for fresh wet material processing. Engineered exclusively for moisture-rich produce, this sorter excels at detecting olive defects with no obvious color differences, ensuring only premium, unblemished olives make it to the next stage of production.
Deep Learning Technology: The Core of Olive Colorless Defect Detection
At the heart of the Golden LY Series’ olive sorting excellence is its proprietary deep learning technology (available in LY (KP+SHD) models), a game-changer for identifying hard-to-detect olive defects. Unlike conventional sorters that rely solely on color differentiation, the LY Series merges deep learning with UHDR (Ultra Definition Recognition) technology to capture four critical olive attributes—color, shape, texture, and area/size—with microscopic precision. This multi-dimensional analysis is specifically calibrated to spot olive defects that lack color variation, including wrinkled surface texture, minor physical damage, bruising, and structural flaws that would otherwise slip through standard sorting systems. Paired with the brand’s pioneering industry deep learning framework, the sorter achieves accurate, real-time recognition of these subtle olive defects, eliminating the need for costly manual rework and ensuring consistent quality across every batch.
Tailored Core Technologies for Fresh & Wet Olive Sorting
The Golden LY Series is built with a suite of specialized core technologies designed to address the unique demands of fresh and wet olive processing, combining defect detection precision with non-destructive handling and long-term durability.
- Non-destructive olive processing: Flexible spray valve intelligent control technology, paired with an anti-crushing track design, ensures 100% damage-free sorting of delicate olives throughout the entire process—preserving structural integrity for both table olives and olive oil production.
- Three-proofing structure for olive processing environments: The waterproof, moisture-proof, and corrosion-resistant design features an extended visual distance and a specialized layout for water-contained materials like fresh olives. This rugged construction stands up to the damp, acidic conditions of olive facilities, ensuring reliable operation even during continuous production runs.
- Ultra-precision recognition: The seamless integration of ultra definition and ultra precision technologies in the UHDR system enhances the deep learning model’s ability to scan olive texture and shape, making even the faintest wrinkling or micro-damage detectable for uncompromised sorting quality.
Waterproof & Anti-Contamination Design: Stable Olive Sorting in Wet Conditions
Olive processing involves juice, moisture, and debris that can contaminate optical components and disrupt sorting accuracy—an issue the Golden LY Series resolves with enhanced waterproof and anti-contamination design features optimized for wet material handling, critical for consistent olive defect detection.
- Optical glass protection for olive sorting: Vertical glass construction with a roller sheath and air curtain creates a superior waterproof barrier, blocking olive juice and moisture from critical deep learning and UHDR components. Spaced upper and lower glass panes prevent direct contact with wet olives, while a dual-action cleaning mechanism (mist-like cleaning agent spray + precision wiper blades) removes olive oil, juice, and sticky stains—eliminating glass contamination that would obscure wrinkled or damaged olive features.
- IP-rated waterproof components: The conveyor assembly, powered by Orui servo motors and frequency converter control, boasts an IP67 waterproof rating, with 304 stainless steel rollers and bearings resisting corrosion from olive moisture and acidic juices. The entire machine has an IP65 rating, allowing for direct water washing—essential for food hygiene standards in olive processing.
- Anti-adhesion & smooth material flow: A rounded dotted belt prevents olive adhesion to the conveyor, while side guards, seals, and an adjustable roller tension screw stop overflow and material ingress. The large, dead-corner-free discharge hopper features a vertical rear heightening plate that reduces olive rebound, minimizing product loss and ensuring the sorter’s deep learning system can analyze every olive without interruption.
Versatile LY Series Models: Scalable Olive Sorting for All Operations
The Golden LY Series offers a diverse range of models, all equipped with the same deep learning-powered colorless defect detection for olives, scaling seamlessly to meet the needs of small artisanal olive producers and large-scale industrial olive processing facilities alike. Every model maintains the series’ signature ≥99% sorting accuracy, 380V/50Hz voltage compatibility, and tailored design for fresh wet olives, with throughput ranging from 1-2 t/h (compact LY1/LY1(KP+Hi) and LY2 models) to 2-4 t/h (high-capacity LY6/LYS6 models). Power consumption is optimized for each model (2.5kw to 9.8kw), with robust builds (900kg to 2200kg) engineered for long-term, continuous olive sorting. Whether sorting table olives for the fresh market or high-quality olives for cold-pressed premium oil, the LY Series provides a customizable solution that matches exact throughput needs while delivering uncompromised detection of wrinkled skin, colorless damage, and all other olive defects.
Why the Golden LY Series Is the Ultimate Choice for Olive Processing
For olive processors, the Golden LY Series is more than a sorting machine—it’s a transformative solution that elevates product quality, boosts operational efficiency, and maximizes the value of every olive harvest. Its deep learning-powered multi-dimensional recognition eliminates the biggest pain point of olive sorting: detecting colorless defects like wrinkled skin and physical damage that traditional sorters cannot identify. Combined with non-destructive handling, a waterproof design built for wet olive processing, and scalable models for all operation sizes, the LY Series delivers a seamless, low-maintenance sorting process that reduces labor costs and eliminates manual rework. Every component is designed with olive processing in mind, from the corrosion-resistant stainless steel parts to the easy-clean discharge hopper, ensuring compliance with strict food industry hygiene standards.
