Sorting unwashed potatoes to consistently maximize their value
Not all potatoes are the same. Crops evolve during the year. And recruiting, training, and retaining workers for manual sorting has become more challenging. With TOMRA's sorting machines, you will solve all of this. In fact, for unwashed potatoes, our value-for-money sorters set the industry standard for removing foreign materials and product defects.
The TOMRA 3A sorts at a constant rate, regardless of the quality of the batch. Even if the potatoes are very earthy, the optical sorter recognizes them and eliminates any clods... This consistency in the sorting result contributes to quality control, which leads to certification of the batches.
Capable of unrivaled foreign material removal, this highly efficient machine is powerful and robust, easy to use and maintain, reduces storage needs, is easily movable, and saves on labor.
Applications: Field Potatoes, Fresh Pack Potatoes, Onions, Beets
Sort up to 100 tons of potatoes per hour, reduce manual labor and recover more value with true 3-way sorting.
