Upgrade your shrimp grading with Laitram's innovative Smart Sorter!

In today's competitive seafood processing landscape, minimizing operational inefficiencies is paramount. Traditional roller graders, while functional, are susceptible to mis-grading shrimp. This seemingly minor issue can lead to significant financial losses. Typically, Large shrimp accidentally sorted into smaller size categories translates to a lower selling price. Even the most efficient processors can lose thousands of dollars daily due to this inaccuracy. Laitram Machinery Smart Sorter utilizes laser-imaging technology to scan each shrimp, guaranteeing precise sorting into designated size bins. By eliminating mis-graded Shrimp, Smart Soter help processors overcome the costly challenge of "Big Shrimp Giveaways." The Smart Sorter delivers a proven cost advantage, typically saving processors from $0.05/lb to $0.012 depending on the product graded, with the potential for even higher savings depending on your operation.

Another benefit offered by Laitram Machinery Smart Sorter is Automation; The Smart Sorter automates the grading process entirely after the feed tank is loaded, significantly eliminating the need for large grading crew, requiring only 1-2 people for operation. The Smart Sorter's versatility extends beyond HLSO grading, working efficiently for PUD and HOSO as well. Additionally, Laitram's system provides real-time data, allowing you to analyze every batch processed by the Laitram Machinery Smart Sorter.

“SONGA, a leading Ecuadorian shrimp exporter, call it the 'Ferrari of shrimp grading' after experiencing its exceptional performance. Impressed by the results from their first machine, SONGA immediately invested in two additional Smart Sorters.”
