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.

Customer story

Hove Ter Hille, Belgium

At Hove Ter Hille, they wanted to be able to store their potatoes without losing space to foreign material and also be able to do that with fewer personnel. Nowadays, finding people to work in food sorting is almost impossible. If you find personnel, they can't work as fast as a machine, and it's also not affordable.

The TOMRA 3A sorting machine for ground potatoes is an investment that brings all sorts of advantages.

Customer story

Gumz, United States

Traditionally, farmers could plan around what winter, spring, summer, and autumn would bring. They knew which crops to produce, the best time to plant, and who was buying. When it came to the weather, they had a good idea of what conditions to expect each season, literally writing the book on it in their annual publications that even today, are more accurate than the local meteorologist. Even still, the best almanac couldn’t have predicted chapters on unexpected market surges and social distancing protocols.
