So this is the new 360 tech sortivator from WECO and what it does, it's, it's an end of line solution for our existing sortivator lines already out in the field. But what makes this one special is that once the berry hits these rollers, it falls into the pocket and then spins the berry 360 degrees under the field of view of the camera.

And we can take up to 16 photos of every piece of fruit. So this allows us to do really accurate sizing of the of jumbo berries. And also define and detect.small defects, like scars, splits, dried flower, things of that nature. And then at the end of the line, we have two rejection points, so your jumbos would go into one reject area, and then those fine defects would go in the other, and then the good fruit flows out of the bottom of it and up into the next stage, likely the weigh in fill.

So, it's a compact, high capacity optical sorter that's, that's been a, a good success for us on the sortivator line.
