Food sorting system for nuts and dried fruit
When processing large volumes of nuts and dried fruits, ensuring product quality and removing contaminants can be challenging. Traditional sorting methods may miss subtle defects and contaminants, leading to compromised product safety and quality.

Accurately sort and remove contaminants
The Nimbus BSI+ from TOMRA is a food sorting system that specializes in identifying and removing contaminants from nuts, dried fruits, and other food products. This system leverages TOMRA’s unique Biometric Signature Identification (BSI) technology, which can detect visual irregularities and product-specific defects. The Nimbus BSI+ is particularly effective at identifying and removing aflatoxins, hard-to-find nut defects, and weeds in fresh-cut produce. Its advanced scanner module offers choices in scanning capabilities, enabling thorough inspection and effective removal of foreign materials (FM). By connecting the Nimbus BSI+ to the TOMRA Insight platform, users can access live and historical data to improve efficiency with every batch. It is designed to process various food categories, including fruit, vegetables, seafood, meat, and IQF products, making it a versatile addition to any food processing operation.
