Farming businesses of all sizes will have access to cost-effective, colour sorting solutions, following a partnership between Bühler UK and McArthur BDC.
“Bühler is well established as delivering market-leading sorting technology across the food and flour processing market and this partnership will drive our reach into the agricultural post-harvest sector,” said Bühler UK sales manager Neil Walker.
“With the exponential rise of Ergot last harvest, our partnership with McArthur BDC is timely,” continued Neil. “Farmers now have the opportunity to look at affordable colour sorting solutions, available from Bühler’s SPARK Pro and take advantage of McArthur BDC’s expertise, to create the system around it.”
Engineered to deliver the highest build quality and robustness, SPARK Pro is a simple to operate colour sorter controlled by a touch screen control panel enabling real-time monitoring. Farmers are able to easily and accurately programme the sorter to deliver outstanding sorting quality, yield and performance.
Each of the SPARK’s chutes has two dedicated cameras, unlike other sorters on the market which have two cameras for multiple chutes. This allows the SPARK ejectors to remove the maximum amount of unwanted material. Self-cleaning mechanisms reduce maintenance time and improve operational efficiency.
“The SPARK range of colour sorters are an important addition to our range of post-harvest equipment enabling farmers to add value to their crops on farm, crucially at a price point that speeds up the return on investment,” said Scott McArthur, technical director of McArthur BDC. “As with all of our solutions, we will provide in-house expertise around the installation and maintenance of the SPARK machines, supported if required, by Bühler’s team of UK-based engineers.”
