Advanced fruit sorting platform
Optimize your operations with a cutting-edge sorting solution designed to enhance product integrity, ensure hygienic processing, and gently handle delicate produce, making it ideal for achieving superior sorting and grading efficiency in high-speed production environments.
Sorts and Grades Fruits and Produce Efficiently
The TOMRA 5S Advanced from TOMRA Food is a cutting-edge fruit and produce sorting platform designed to elevate your processing capabilities. This equipment excels in precise sorting and grading, accommodating a broad spectrum of foods including fruits, nuts, potatoes, and vegetables. It operates with a gentle handling mechanism using sculpted stainless steel and polymer surfaces that minimize product damage. The platform seamlessly integrates into your production line with high-speed, continuous operation, handling various stages such as sorting, grading, and singulation with ease.
Capable of sorting a wide array of end products like apple slices, avocado cubes, citrus segments, and fresh pack potato wedges, its application extends further into nuts and dried fruits, maintaining a consistent quality output. It can process substantial throughput due to its robust design, featuring individual drum drives and dual-tipping carriers, enhancing reliability through its newly designed food chain that reduces wear and optimizes chain-stretch.
Automated via a digital heart, the TOMRA 5S Advanced facilitates integration with cloud-based platforms like TOMRA Insight for seamless data management and future-proofing. Its ultra-hygienic design ensures quick and easy cleaning, utilizing toolless component removal and isolated weigh bridges to prevent cross-contamination. TOMRA Food offers comprehensive customization and support services, making this equipment a vital asset in modern processing environments.
