SENSOR TECHNOLOGY
The Blizzard is the cost-effective alternative to the TOMRA Helius and Nimbus sorters that can be tailored according to your specific needs. It is a small footprint, free-fall, food sorting machine, that was specifically designed to fit in processing lines and is optimal for positioning with the output of IQF tunnels or packaging lines.
Pulsed LEDs with distinct wavelengths and specifically designed sensors ensure reliable detection of color, shape, and structural differences. State-of-the-art air ejectors remove unwanted material with millisecond precision, allowing the good product to continue for further processing.
