Expanded sorter range

Tomra Sorting Solutions continues to expand its ZEA sorter range developed for the seed and fresh corn industry. The latest innovation has been the design and implementation of a second camera module facilitating the inspection of both sides of the corn ear.

The system located after the husker/s allows sorting and grading by husk, defect, disease and size. Tomra says the high capacity sorting machine is the ideal efficiency, quality and cost reduction tool for processors to whom these types of defects are critical

Maurice Moynihan, market unit director, Tomra Sorting Food, says, “The ZEA is a flexible sorter with gentle handling assured. It contains simple controls, supplies straightforward feedback, provides consistent, long life accuracy and requires only low maintenance.

“Benefits the system offers customers include unrivalled husk and superior defect removal, significant labor reductions, reduced operational costs and easy installation.”
