Experience BSI+: for even invisible defects

BSI+ technology uses a powerful combination of color and material attributes to reveal even the most difficult-to-detect defects (including aflatoxin and mycotoxins) in your products. With Biometric Signature Identification, BSI+ precisely distinguishes between acceptable and defective items, enhancing accuracy across pre-sort, regular sort, and reverse sort applications. The result is a highly concentrated reject stream and exceptional throughput, ensuring both quality and efficiency. Exclusively available on the TOMRA 5C.
