o Carrots:
* Whole washed and unpeeled carrots
* Whole peeled carrots
* Baby carrots
* Cut carrot products: parts, slices, cubes
o Green beans

o Scallops
- Miscellaneous food:

- Non food products:
o Plastic pellets and fl akes
o Recycling: a.o. glass and plastics
Consult a BESTnv service engineer to see if your confi guration is suitable to sort any of these
products.
Examples of possible settings for your product can be given on demand. However, these values will
only be of limited use, since the exact values of the sensitivities are highly dependent on certain specifi c
and often local circumstances, such as: the specifi c defects that are to be detected, the quality of the
fi nal product, certain differences between different batches of the same product, etc. ... As a result your
specifi c values might be substantially different from the examples we can provide. It is advisable to set
the sensitivities on the spot and to use as much as possible the values that have been set during the
installation by our service engineer.
Because of said variations between different batches of one and the same product it is often advisable
to make small changes during the sorting process.
