<p>The present invention is related to an apparatus for sorting products, in particular granular products (1) such as raisins, blueberries but also pellets e.g. plastic pellets. The sorting apparatus comprises a supply system (3), a detecting system (6), a selecting system (8) and a chute (P). The invention is also related to the chute as such. The chute (P) comprises a first guiding element (P 1 ) having a concave surface for guiding the stream of products (1) moving under influence of gravity towards the detecting system (6) and the selecting system (8). Optionally the chute (P) comprises a second guiding element (P 2 ) having a surface which is convex at least over a certain distance along the movement of the stream of products, such that products (1) which are propelled by the first guiding element (P 1 ) and received by the second guiding element (P 2 ) are redirected in an essentially vertical downward direction. The detection system (6) will inspect the products (1) when moving in a substantially vertical direction.</p> |
