What to check out at our booth:

3U Vision, based in Imola, Italy, specializes in advanced vision systems—especially optical sorting machines. Their technology handles challenging applications across food (wheat, cereals, dried fruit, seeds, coffee), minerals, metals, glass and plastics.

With nearly 40 years of experience and a global footprint, 3U Vision is known for deploying modular, customizable, high-performance sorters for high-value production.

Chandler Automation is proud to bring 3U Vision’s optical sorting expertise into our food & nut processing ecosystem. Together, we deliver automation excellence: you get high-throughput, high-accuracy sorting, with the full backing of our integration, service, and branding. The result: fewer rejects, tighter quality control, and leaner operations – all aligned with our “fun, trustworthy, expert” brand promise.

  • FENIX series optical sorters – modular multi-channel systems customizable for nuts, dried fruit, seeds and more.
  • Mini / compact sorters (e.g., “FENIX mini”) – tailored for small scale or high value‐added production environments.
  • Broad application capability – from food (nuts, seeds) to industrial (glass, plastics), enabling flexible automation lines.

If your processing line includes sorting of tree nuts, dried fruit, seeds, cereals or other bulk-flow products that require optical inspection / sorting, this partnership means you’re equipped with one of the most advanced systems on the market—integrated, supported and optimized by Chandler Automation.

Contact us today to book a live demo or line-audit of how 3U Vision sorters can be integrated into your plant—reduce defects, increase yield, and scale smart.

CASSEL Inspection is a global leader in the design and manufacturing of industrial metal detectors and X-ray inspection systems, and combines dynamic Teltek checkweighers for fully integrated solutions.  Their equipment supports rigorous food safety, quality control and brand protection across food & beverage, pharma, plastics, textiles and other industries.

Since 2021, Chandler Automation has been an authorized U.S. agent for CASSEL’s inspection systems, covering California, Nevada, Arizona—reinforcing our role as trusted automation partner in the region.

With CASSEL’s inspection excellence combined with Chandler Automation’s system integration and food-industry expertise, we deliver a powerful value proposition: protection of production equipment, brand reputation, and finished product quality—all within your automation strategy. That aligns with Chandler’s core brand promise of being fun (yes—serious can still be approachable), trustworthy (we stand behind our partners) and expert (we know food & nut processing automation inside-out).

Metal detectors for food & beverage – detect ferrous/non-ferrous/stainless metal particles at various stages of production.

X-ray inspection machines – detect glass, ceramics, dense plastics, even verify fill levels and packaging integrity.

Checkweighers – integrated weight checks to ensure correct portioning, complete packages, and regulatory compliance (HACCP, BRC, IFS).

In food and nut processing, overlooking inspection and safety can lead to costly recalls, brand damage and production downtime. With CASSEL + Chandler Automation, you get end-to-end automation support that includes inspection and quality control built in—not as an afterthought.

Let’s review your inspection-and-production strategy and identify how CASSEL systems can seamlessly integrate into your automation line via Chandler Automation’s tailored design and service.

Ghazarian Welding Inc., located in Fresno, California, specializes in custom equipment fabrication, processing lines and material handling systems. Their in-house machine shop and engineering capabilities allow tailored solutions for food, nut, bulk material handling and processing applications.

With deep experience in designing custom lines (not just off-the-shelf machines), they bring flexibility and craftsmanship to projects that demand precision and customization.

Through our collaboration with GWI, Chandler Automation can offer clients responsive, locally-based custom fabrication and processing line builds ensuring that automation systems meet the unique demands of their facility, product flow and industry needs.

  • Custom processing lines – from design to engineering to fabrication and installation.
    GW Innovations
  • Material handling solutions – conveyors, lifts, integration for automation systems.
    GW Innovations
  • On-site machine shop support – rapid prototyping, special fixtures, and tailored mechanical solutions for automation projects.

If your manufacturing environment requires custom conveyance, integration of new automation into an existing footprint, or unique processing line adaptations (for nuts, dried fruit, packaging, etc.), the Chandler Automation + GWI team offers end-to-end support from concept through fabrication and implementation.

Schedule a site visit or concept review with Chandler Automation and GWI to explore how custom fabrication can elevate your automation strategy, reduce change-over time and increase line throughput.

OK International (OK Corp) is a global leader in turnkey end-of-line packaging automation, specializing in stainless-steel polybag-in-box systems and bulk packaging solutions. They design and manufacture complete lines that include case erectors, bag inserters (case liners), bulk weigh fillers, bag closers, case sealers, conveyors, and controls—all engineered to keep modern food and ingredient plants running efficiently.

From nuts, dried fruit, rice, and powders to liquids, fats, and oils, OK International’s systems are built to handle demanding, high-throughput, hygiene-critical environments in the food, pet food, and industrial sectors.
