Capacity, accuracy and more to sell with true 3-way
sorting, all in one robust, easy-to-use machine.
Big harvests, sorted right.
The TOMRA 4A sorts up to 100 tons of potatoes an hour. Before your potatoes go into storage, it takes out dirt, stones and rot. Out-of-spec potatoes get their own stream, so you can still sell them. And when potatoes come out of storage, the same machine sorts quality defects too.
Good help is hard to find. And it costs more every year.
You need a full crew on the sorting line for every week of harvest. Seasonal workers are hard to find, skilled ones even harder, and wages keep going up.
"The labor issue was a big pain point. Without the labor, you can't go through the potatoes... we just physically could not do it and get a quality product into the trucks."
The 4A sorts up to 100 tons an hour with just 2 people on the line.**
That's 6 people down to 2 in our calculator example. And the XCD user interface is easy to learn, so new operators get up to speed fast.
Have it all, from one machine.
Fast sorting going into storage at harvest. Quality sorting when your potatoes come out. Both from the same machine
Going into storage:
Up to 100 tons per hour. The 4A takes out foreign material, clods, stones and rot, so only potatoes go into your store.
Coming out of storage:
Quality sorting too. The same machine also takes out quality defects, like green and rotten potatoes, at the lower capacity that job needs.
1 stream in. 3 streams out.
Two dedicated sets of ejection fingers do two different jobs. One takes out dirt, stones and foreign material. The other takes out out-of-spec potatoes and keeps them clean and apart. All at full capacity.
Your contracts are based on volume, so every percent counts. With 3-way sorting, out of-spec potatoes don't end up on the reject pile with the stones. You can still sell them, for processing, cattle feed or biogas
You could be over $335,000 better off every season.
That's what the TOMRA 4A calculator shows for a 50,000-ton US crop.*
