Cherry singulation system

Effortlessly streamline cherry processing with a system that ensures gentle handling and superior singulation, reducing fruit damage and manual labor while increasing throughput and profitability.

Singulates and Separates Cherries Gently

The Cascade Singulator from TOMRA Food is designed specifically for fruit processors and agricultural businesses to enhance cherry processing efficiency. Utilizing a gentle water-based deceleration system, this equipment ensures minimal damage while achieving superior singulation and stem separation. Capable of processing various fruit and vegetable applications, it is particularly adept at producing fresh cherries, maraschino cherries, and dried fruit products with increased throughput. With continuous, high-speed operation, the system integrates seamlessly into automated processing lines, reducing the need for manual intervention. Its design also minimizes downtime by reducing cleaning and maintenance demands. This gentle handling machine not only preserves the quality of the produce but is engineered to pay for itself quickly through reduced operational costs. The Cascade Singulator is constructed for durability and performance, ensuring long-lasting value across diverse processing goals.

Benefits
