Key Technology
Key Technology, a Walla Walla-based company, will introduce its COMPASS optical sorter at the Pack Expo Las Vegas conference. The sorter detects and rejects food products with defects such as dark spots, discolorations and bruises.
Jack Lee, Duravant’s group president, wrote in a news release, “Key has been at the forefront of potato chip sorting and handling technology for decades, and COMPASS represents the next evolution in our commitment to this industry.”
