Optical sorter for nuts, dried fruit, and Iqf
Maintaining high quality and safety standards in the processing of nuts, dried fruit, and individually quick frozen (IQF) products is critical. This involves efficiently identifying and ejecting contaminants and ensuring consistent product quality without compromising yield.
Detect and eject contaminants accurately
The TOMRA 5A is an advanced optical sorting and size grading system designed for whole, processed, and fresh foods. This sorter excels in detecting and removing products that are misshapen, spoiled by rot, mold, or discoloration. Equipped with high-performance sensors and software, it eliminates a wide range of foreign materials, including stones, corn cobs, roots, wood, glass, plastics, golf balls, and metal with a removal rate greater than 98%. When connected to TOMRA’s Peel Control Module (PCM), the system optimizes peeling efficiencies by automatically adjusting steam time calculations, significantly reducing peel loss and food waste. Integrated with TOMRA Insight, the sorter offers valuable data analytics and remote monitoring capabilities, leading to enhanced operational efficiencies. Supplied by TOMRA, the TOMRA 5A is suitable for various food processing industries, notably in the realm of nuts, dried fruit, and IQF products.
