Blizzard

The Blizzard's small footprint is ideal for sorting fruits and vegetables after the IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) tunnels. Despite its small size, this cost-effective and easy-to-maintain optical sorter packs a big punch minimizing product loss and maximizing yield before products enter the packaging lines.

Key benefits

Affordable quality control

Budget-friendly to purchase and maintain, the Blizzard offers cost-effective removal of foreign materials and product defects.
Multiple sorting criteria

Pulsed LEDs detect color, shape, size, and structural differences in the stream and identify blemished, smashed, and discolored products.
Ambient subtraction for dark objects, mold, and damage

Thanks to its active background, external lighting doesn’t influence the sort and sneaky FM can be removed from the product stream.
Keep the fruit and vegetables - remove the rest

The Blizzard ejects stems, stalks, glass, and transparent foil so your line only keeps the desired product in the stream.
