The invention relates to a sorting device and a method for sorting products (1) that are moved in a flow of products (2) through an inspection zone (3), wherein a light beam (6) is moved over the flow of products such that substantially all products (1) are hit by the light beam (6) in said inspection zone (3), whereby the light of this light beam (6) is, on the one hand, di-rectly reflected as of the point of impact of the light beam on the products, and is, on the other hand, reflected in a scattered manner as of a zone round the point of impact following the diffusion of the light beam's light in the products, whereby the directly re-tlected light as well as the light which is reflected in a scattered manner is at least partly directed to a sensor element (19) of a de-tector (15), whereby this sensor element (19) has at least two detection areas, wherein for each detection area a detection signal is generated corresponding to the intensity of the reflected light (14) that impinges upon this detection area.

Cette invention concerne un dispositif de tri et un procédé permettant de trier des produits (1) déplacés dans un flux de produits (2) à travers une zone d'inspection (3). Selon le mode de réalisation, un faisceau lumineux (6) est déplacé sur le flux de produits de telle sorte qu'essentiellement tous les produits (1) soient frappés par le faisceau lumineux (6) dans cette zone d'inspection (3). Le faisceau lumineux (6) est, d'une part, directement réfléchi pour former un point d'impact du faisceau lumineux sur les produits et, d'autre part, il est réfléchi de manière dispersée pour former une zone autour du point d'impact qui suit la diffusion de la lumière du faisceau lumineux dans les produits. Ainsi, la lumière directement réfléchie ainsi que la lumière réfléchie de manière dispersée est, au moins en partie, destinée à un élément capteur (19) d'un détecteur (15), lequel élément capteur (19) présente au moins deux zones de détection. Pour chaque zone de détection, un signal de détection est généré qui correspond à l'intensité de la lumière réfléchie (14) qui couvre cette zone de détection.
