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.
Raw Material Intake
Grain, pulse, or seed enters the unit for processing.
Pre-cleaning
Larger debris and impurities are removed before optical sorting.
Sortex Processing
Optical sensors separate off-colour grains and foreign particles at high speed.
Final Grading
Sorted output is graded to the required quality standard.
Packaging
Cleaned, graded output is packed for dispatch or sale.
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.
What Is the Project Cost for a Sortex Machine Unit?
| COST HEAD | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| Land & Shed / Building | Space for machine installation and material movement |
| Sortex Machine & Allied Equipment | The optical sorter, pre-cleaner, elevators, packaging line |
| Raw Material (Initial Stock) | Grain/pulse stock where the unit also trades, if applicable |
| Working Capital | Funds to run operations between processing cycles |
| Pre-operative & Contingency | Trial runs, installation, buffer for cost overruns |
| Machinery Installation & Electrical Setup | Installation, 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.
