摘要

The invention relates to a method for detecting pests in a food and / or agricultural commodity and to an apparatus for using the present method. A method for detecting pests in a food and / or agricultural commodity, wherein an unlimited amount of commodity is continuously fed to the inlet (1). the trough (2) is vibrated by means of a vibratory drive (7), wherein the commodity is vibrated along the perforated bottom or sieve (6) to the outlet (3) of the trough (2), whereby the pests fall through the perforated bottom or sieve (6), the size and shape of the perforation or mesh of the sieve being adapted to allow the pest to fall and at the same time to eliminate the fall of others to detect undesired fractions of the commodity. The present method is preferably applied to a pest detection device in a food and / or agricultural commodity comprising a trough (2) provided with a vibrating drive (7), wherein the trough (2) comprises at least one impermeable bottom (8) and at least one perforated bottom and / or a sieve (6), wherein one end of the impermeable bottom (8) is provided as a lunge (4), the size and shape of the perforation or mesh of the sieve (6) being adapted to allow the pest to fall and at the same time to eliminate the other from falling to detect unwanted fractions of the commodity, where the pests are preferably collected on an impermeable bottom (8) and collected in a collection container (5).
