Sortex Machine Unit Feasibility Report Sample

A single discolored grain or a stray stone in a sack of rice can be the difference between a lot that sells at premium and one that gets rejected — which is exactly the problem a sortex machine solves, using optical sensors to sort grain by colour at a speed no manual process can match. Sharda Associates creates CA-certified feasibility assessments for agricultural warehousing and infrastructure projects in India.

What Goes Into a Sortex Machine Setup?

A sortex machine unit uses optical/colour sorting technology to clean and grade grains, pulses, rice, or seeds — removing discolored grains, stones, and foreign particles that manual cleaning would miss. The unit may run as a standalone custom-processing service for farmers and traders, or sit as an add-on quality-improvement step within a larger rice or dal mill.

1
Raw Material Intake

Grain, pulse, or seed enters the unit for processing.

2
Pre-cleaning

Larger debris and impurities are removed before optical sorting.

3
Sortex Processing

Optical sensors separate off-colour grains and foreign particles at high speed.

4
Final Grading

Sorted output is graded to the required quality standard.

5
Packaging

Cleaned, graded output is packed for dispatch or sale.

6
Dispatch & Storage

The finished, graded product is stored safely and dispatched.

What Does a Sortex Machine Feasibility Report Include?

Processing capacity, machinery, raw material intake, and site infrastructure on the operational side; project cost, financing, revenue assumptions, and repayment capacity on the financial side — together giving a full picture of whether the project stacks up before it goes to a lender. It also helps identify operational risks, funding gaps, and profitability potential, making the project more practical and lender-ready.

 

What Do Banks Check in a Sortex Machine Project?

Processing Capacity

Intended throughput in quintals or tonnes per hour, based on the machine’s rated capacity and operating shifts, since this sets the revenue ceiling.

Machinery & Allied Equipment

The sortex/optical sorting machine, pre-cleaners, elevators, and packaging equipment — this determines sorting accuracy and upfront investment.

Raw Material Intake

Expected volume and type of grain, pulse, or seed, and whether it’s sourced from farmers, traders, or an in-house mill.

 

Location & Infrastructure

Site suitability, power supply and backup (sortex machines are power-intensive), and storage space for raw and finished goods.

What Is the Project Cost for a Sortex Machine Unit?

COST HEADDESCRIPTION
Land & Shed / BuildingSpace for machine installation and material movement
Sortex Machine & Allied EquipmentThe optical sorter, pre-cleaner, elevators, packaging line
Raw Material (Initial Stock)Grain/pulse stock where the unit also trades, if applicable
Working CapitalFunds to run operations between processing cycles
Pre-operative & ContingencyTrial runs, installation, buffer for cost overruns
Machinery Installation & Electrical SetupInstallation, wiring, power connections, commissioning, and related setup costs

Note: Actual figures depend on production capacity, machinery configuration, clean-room requirements, and other project-specific factors.

How Is the Financial Feasibility of a Sortex Machine Unit Assessed?

The financial section works from revenue assumptions tied to processing capacity and expected intake volume, set against operating expenses like power, labour, and maintenance — power being a bigger line item here than in most agro-processing setups given how the machine runs.

From there it builds out the working capital requirement, profit & loss projections, and a cash flow statement for the operating period — followed by the break-even point and an assessment of debt-servicing and repayment capacity against the proposed loan terms. None of this promises a specific financial outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions

A report that checks whether a proposed sortex machine unit stacks up practically and financially — machinery, processing capacity, cost, and repayment capacity, all in one place.

Project overview, processing capacity, machinery, raw material intake, cost break-up, means of finance, revenue assumptions, operating expenses, profitability, cash flow, and break-even analysis.

Typically the sortex/optical sorting machine itself, plus a pre-cleaner, elevators, and packaging equipment — the exact line depends on the grain type and capacity planned.

Intended processing capacity, machine specifications, expected intake volume, project cost estimates, and how you plan to finance it.

Yes — quotations for the sortex machine and allied equipment make the report more specific to your actual project.

Yes, banks and financial institutions typically reference this kind of report when assessing a sortex machine project's viability before financing it.

Mostly depends on how quickly you can share project details and documents — usually a few working days once that's in hand.
