Pre-sorter for fresh cut
Tomra has developed a cost efficient pre-sorting machine for the fresh cut industry, which detects and removes unwanted material before the product enters the processing line?
The Falcon sorter processes high volumes and removes unwanted material brought into the production line from the field (droppings, rodents, bugs, plastic, wood, soil clumps, stones, etc).
“Through the Falcon we get rid of most defects at an early stage to ensure that the sorters further down the line can work at a higher efficiency rate and can assure a final product with an outstanding high quality,” says Roel Molenaers, product manager at Tomra Sorting Solutions.
Flexible product handling is facilitated through the integrated infeed belt and spreading of all leaves, while the high speed ejection fingers accurately remove all foreign material, including the heavy defects.
Supported by LED illumination, the high-resolution cameras detect different characteristics such as the chlorophyll level of the produce.
