Small fruit sorter for sensitive cherry varieties
Optimize your packhouse throughput and consistency with advanced sorting for delicate cherries, ensuring defect-free products through precise inspection and sizing technology.
Sorts and Inspects Small Fruits Efficiently
The Small Fruit Sorter with InVision2 from TOMRA is designed for precise sorting and inspection of cherries and other small fruits, tackling challenges faced by fruit packhouses and agricultural producers. The system leverages InVision2 technology, offering defect inspection and classification by size, shape, and color. It seamlessly integrates into existing production lines, with dynamic lane balancing to maximize throughput and minimize fruit recycling. The equipment is capable of handling delicate fruit varieties using gentle water flumes and hydro-cushions to protect product integrity. Incorporated Sizer Control software allows operators to monitor and adjust sorting parameters in real-time, fostering efficiency. Automation is supported with data analytics for enhanced traceability and ERP integration, optimizing decision-making across your processing operations. Designed for continuous, high-volume production, it accommodates various end-products, including dried and frozen fruits. Additionally, the sorter is scalable, making it suitable for operations of varying sizes, with available engineering support for tailored configurations.
