๐ท Throwback Thursday ๐ท
With family roots in the grain industry and a career dedicated to advancing seed and grain processing projects across Canada, Steven Chivilo brings experience, leadership, and long-term commitment to everything he does.
"How precise is an optical color sorter?" ๐ค
Did you know that VistaSortโs intelligent algorithm scans every grain in real time with 0.04 mm optical resolution, detecting colour, shape, and size defects far too small for the human eye?
This level of precision is why processors trust VistaSort to deliver cleaner product, higher purity, and consistent results across cereals, pulses, edible beans, and oil seeds.
๐ท Throwback Thursday to 2018 ๐ท
Proud to look back on projects like this installation for Brian Ellis Seed.
Building reliable, long-term seed cleaning and processing systems has always been at the heart of what we do.
โHow does an optical color sorter detect defects with such precision?โ๐ค๐
Inside every VistaSort Color Sorter is a combination of high-resolution CCD cameras and ultra-fast electromagnetic ejectors that target off-spec product with pinpoint accuracy, even at high throughput.
Our precision feeder, 0.04 mm optical detection, DSP/FPGA control chips, and Italian-made solenoid ejectors work together to remove color defects, damaged seed, foreign material, and other impurities, all while minimizing good product loss.
VistaSort is designed for purity, efficiency, and real-time consistency across pulses, cereals, oil seeds, and specialty crops.
๐พ Clean product. High accuracy. Smart sorting. Thatโs the VistaSort advantage. ๐
๐ท Throwback Thursday โช
We were proud to be part of this new pedigreed seed cleaning facility in 2018.
Projects like this remind us why we do what we do: supporting Western Canadian agriculture with reliable equipment, facility design, and long-term processing solutions.
From air screen cleaners and gravity separators to color sorters, conveyors, and full-plant integration, Vistasort continues to help seed processors build efficient, high-quality operations that stand the test of time.
๐พ Proud partners in Canadian agriculture. ๐พ

Did YOU know...? ๐ง
Not all seeds make the cut ๐คโฆ but thatโs exactly the point... ๐
In any grain or seed lot, there are always off-color kernels, foreign material, splits, and damaged product. If they arenโt removed, they reduce grade, lower value, and create problems further down the line.
VistaSort optical color sorters are designed to identify and remove those defects with precision. Using high-resolution cameras, intelligent image processing, and high-speed ejectors, the system separates acceptable product from rejects in real time.

Satisfying Sorting Sounds ๐๐ โ Part 3
Today we put red lentils through the VistaSort Mini ๐ด
Listen closely.
That smooth, steady flow down the chute isnโt just satisfyingโฆ itโs precision at work.
The VistaSort Mini uses high-resolution cameras and intelligent image processing to detect subtle color defects and foreign material. Off-color lentils are instantly rejected, while clean product moves forward to the accepts bin. โ
