    McArthur BDC announces strategic partnership

    McArthur BDC has announced a new partnership with Bühler UK, part of the Bühler Group, providing customers with access to cost-effective colour sorting solutions.

    “Bühler is well established as delivering market-leading sorting technology across the food and flour processing market and this partnership will drive our reach into the agricultural post-harvest sector,” said Neil Walker, area sales manager UK & Ireland, Bühler UK.

    “With the exponential rise of Ergot last harvest, our partnership with McArthur BDC is timely. Farmers now have the opportunity to look at affordable colour sorting solutions, available from Bühler’s Spark Pro and take advantage of McArthur BDC’s expertise, to create the system around it.”

    The Spark Pro is said to be simple to operate thanks to its touchscreen control panel, which enables real-time monitoring. Each chute has two dedicated cameras, which the company states will enable the maximum amount of unwanted material to be removed.

    “The Spark range of colour sorters are an important addition to our comprehensive range of post-harvest equipment enabling farmers to add value to their crops on farm, crucially at a price point that speeds up the return on investment,” said Scott McArthur, technical director of McArthur BDC.

    “As with all of our solutions, we will provide in-house expertise around the installation and maintenance of the Spark machines, supported if required, by Bühler’s team of UK based engineers.”

    “When designing a colour sorter into a grain plant, of whatever size, it is key to work with an integrator who understands what you want to achieve and what is possible within the constraints of the project.

    “For example, the throughput capacity necessary, the specific sorting requirements for each commodity, how the sorter will seamlessly link with other processing equipment and the provision of easy access for calibration, to name just a few.”
