Built for continuous processing environments, the system combines the S1 precision sorter with a high capacity autofeeder that allows a single operator to load up to 50 lb of dry material and let the system feed and sort automatically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwister rates the system at starting from 150 lb per hour, with three standard sorting grades and additional custom sizing options available. The streamlined sorting path is specifically designed to handle irregular shapes accurately while using ultra low drop heights to minimize unnecessary impact during processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull stainless steel construction and food grade product path materials simplify sanitation, while the absence of rubber bands eliminates a common wear component found in other mechanical sorting systems. The S1 can also integrate into a larger Twister processing line, making it suitable for facilities moving from individual machines toward a more automated workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStarting at 150 lb\/hr throughput\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 50 lb autofeeder capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 standard sorting grades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull stainless steel product path\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAutomated Sorting for Commercial Processing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManual sizing can consume substantial labor when large quantities of material need to be separated consistently. The S1 automates that stage by continuously separating product into defined size grades. When paired with the autofeeder, one operator can load up to 50 lb of dry material and step away while the system manages feeding into the sorter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwister describes the system as starting at 150 lb per hour, allowing operators to redirect labor toward other processing, quality control, or packaging tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThree Standard Sorting Grades\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe S1 separates material into three standard size classifications:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBigs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Greater than 5\/8”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMediums:\u003c\/strong\u003e Less than 5\/8”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmalls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Less than 1\/2”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwister also offers additional sorting sizes for operations requiring different grading standards. The sorting mechanism is designed to handle irregularly shaped material rather than requiring every piece to have a uniform profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGentle Product Handling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh throughput is only useful when the processing method protects the material being handled. Twister designed the S1 around ultra low height drops and specifically avoids the need for rise conveyors that can introduce additional impact during transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis short product path reduces unnecessary drops and handling as material progresses through the sorting system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e50 lb Autofeeder\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe autofeeder is designed to support true single person operation. Up to 50 lb of dry material can be loaded into the feeding system at one time, reducing the need for an operator to continuously stand at the machine and manually replenish the sorter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwister describes the combined system as requiring approximately five minutes of active operator work for every 150 lb processed, rather than claiming the machine itself processes 150 lb in five minutes — the autofeeder reduces hands on labor while the sorting system continues operating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStainless Steel and Food Grade Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe S1 uses stainless steel and food grade materials throughout the product path. Twister identifies the materials as FDA compliant and states that the S1 Sorter is GMP compliant because food safe materials are used throughout the product contact path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stainless construction also simplifies routine sanitation in commercial processing environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEasy Washdown and Cleaning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe S1 is designed around straightforward sanitation. Twister states that the stainless steel and food grade construction can be washed using hot water and appropriate detergents, reducing the complexity of cleaning between production runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmooth, durable product path materials also eliminate many difficult to clean surfaces associated with more complicated sorting mechanisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNo Rubber Bands\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sorting mechanism is designed without rubber bands. Removing these consumable components reduces the need to interrupt production for band replacement and eliminates a recurring maintenance item found in some mechanical sorting systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor facilities processing continuously, fewer wear components can translate into simpler maintenance schedules and less unexpected downtime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIntegrates With Twister Processing Lines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe S1 is designed to operate as part of a larger Twister processing line. The manufacturer specifically identifies integration into larger Twister systems as a core feature, allowing facilities to incorporate automated sorting into an existing or expanding processing workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis makes the S1 particularly useful for operations that already use compatible Twister trimming equipment and want to automate downstream sizing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSorter Electrical Requirements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe S1 Sorter operates on 120V, 60 Hz electrical service and draws 7A.
