Inline Starch Tray Inspection — Every Tray, Before the Deposit
In starch moulding production, a defective tray goes unnoticed — until the deposit has already happened. The Sortecno Sorvex Mogul, powered by HypériOne, inspects every tray immediately after imprinting and before the depositing pump — identifying starch anomalies, imprint defects, contamination, and mouldboard issues in real time, and activating a no-deposit signal automatically. The tray stays in the line. The starch is recycled. The deposit never happens.

CONTINUOUS OPERATION
See It Running.
Operating between the printing and depositing stages, Sortecno Sorvex Mogul evaluates each tray in real time — ensuring only correctly prepared moulds proceed to filling, eliminating downstream contamination and rework.
One Step. Before Everything Else.
The Sortecno Sorvex Mogul is positioned at the most critical control point on the mogul line — immediately after the imprinting station and before the first depositing pump. It is the only point where a non-conforming tray can be identified and blocked before liquid product is deposited on it.

How It Works.
The Sortecno Sorvex Mogul inspects every starch tray immediately after imprinting and before the depositing pump — identifying starch anomalies, imprint defects, contamination, and mouldboard issues in real time, and activating a no-deposit signal automatically. The tray stays in the line. The starch is recycled. The deposit never happens.
Dual-Camera Tray Imaging
Two high-resolution industrial cameras with structured LED illumination capture a full-surface image of every tray — covering imprint geometry, starch fill level, cavity walls, mouldboard pattern, contamination, and tray edges in a single pass.
Reference Model Comparison
Each tray image is compared against the recipe-specific reference model. User-defined tolerance thresholds are applied independently per defect class — starch level, imprint quality, wall integrity, contamination, and mouldboard pattern — simultaneously.
HypériOne Classification
HypériOne classifies every tray across all active defect categories simultaneously — starch underfill and overfill, collapsed cavity walls, missing positions, contamination, mouldboard damage, and wrong installation.
No-Deposit Signal
The result is communicated directly to the mogul control system via relay output. Non-conforming trays receive a no-deposit signal — they remain in the line and the starch is recycled. Contaminated trays can trigger optional ejection.

What Gets Blocked.
Every tray image is compared against the active recipe reference. When any of the following are detected, a no-deposit signal is sent immediately — the tray stays in the line, and the starch is recycled.
Contaminated Tray
Residual jelly from a previous production run detected on the tray surface.
→ No deposit + optional tray ejection
Starch Underfill
Insufficient starch creates shallow or incomplete cavities — undersized product, weak cavity walls.
→ No deposit — tray stays in line
Starch Overfill
Excessive starch reduces imprint depth — oversized product and poor cavity definition.
→ No deposit — tray stays in line
Poor-Quality Imprint
Imprint below the user-defined acceptance threshold for the active recipe.
→ No deposit — threshold configurable per recipe
Collapsed Cavity Walls
Broken or torn walls between moulds — would produce conjoined or misshapen gummies.
→ No deposit — tray stays in line
Missing Imprint Positions
Incomplete cavity pattern — partial fills and short-count products.
→ No deposit — tray stays in line
Dirty Mouldboard
Contamination on the mouldboard itself — transfers defects to every tray it imprints.
→ No deposit — operator alert
Damaged Mouldboard
Broken or missing mould elements — preventive maintenance signal before waste accumulates.
→ No deposit — maintenance signal
Wrong Mouldboard
Incorrect or misaligned mouldboard — recipe-based pattern verification at every changeover.
→ No deposit — operator alert
Edge & Corner Disturbance
Disturbed starch near tray edges and corners — detected via dedicated edge-sensitivity ROIs.
→ No deposit or tray ejection
Technical Features.
Engineered for starch moulding lines operating 24/7 — inspecting every tray between imprinting and deposit, before any liquid product is committed to a defective cavity.
Contaminated trays — starch level issues (underfill and overfill) — poor-quality imprints — collapsed or broken cavity walls — missing printed positions — dirty or contaminated mouldboard — broken mouldboard elements — incorrectly positioned mouldboard — wrong mouldboard installation — edge and corner starch defects.
The system sends a different signal per defect class. Poor imprint or low starch: no deposit, tray stays in line. Visible residual jelly: no deposit + tray ejection. Missing mouldboard element: no deposit + machine stop before the stacker. Wrong mouldboard: no deposit + operator alert. All actions are communicated directly to the mogul control system at full production speed.
The operator confirms one conforming tray. HypériOne builds the reference model from that image and stores it under a recipe name. Tolerance thresholds are set independently per defect class — stricter for residue, more permissive for minor starch variation. Multiple recipes can be stored and switched at changeover without re-teaching the system.
A rejected tray does not leave the line — it continues through the system, the starch is recycled back into the process, and nothing is wasted. The only saving is the liquid gummy product that would have been deposited into a defective cavity and lost. That is the actual cost the MTI prevents — at every tray, every shift, 24/7.
Standard installation: one control unit and two optical units between the printer table and the first depositor. Optional extensions: one additional optical unit between the first and second depositor, and one more after the second depositor before the stacker or above the demoulder. Compatible with all starch moulding line layouts from any manufacturer.
IP67-rated LED lighting, IP65-rated optical enclosure, integrated air nozzles to keep lenses clear of starch dust. ATEX-compliant optical unit for use in powder-rich production environments. Remote access via network connection for monitoring and diagnostics without on-site intervention. Operates 24/7 without loss of detection accuracy.
Together with Varvix.
The Sortecno Sorvex Mogul is the first inspection point on the gummy and jelly production line. After demoulding, the Sortecno Sorvex Varvix continues quality control — sorting every piece by color, shape, size, and contamination before packaging. Two systems. One HypériOne AI platform.
