    Spotlight on: BSI+ technology

    BSI+ technology uses a powerful combination of color and material attributes to reveal even the most difficult-to-detect defects 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.

    • TOMRA 5A_DSC09000

      Air

      How do we separate potatoes (or carrots or onions) from foreign materials to see every defect? We do it ‘in-flight.' Air handling gives TOMRA sensors the ability to complete a very thorough and precise inspection of every potato, onion, or carrot while also detecting foreign material and unsafe produce.

      Belt

      TOMRA’s Belt handling technology ensures the most stable, shadow-free inspection of produce like peas, cherries, olives, and more. By bringing light and sensors close to the product on a reflective belt, it enables high-speed sorting with unmatched accuracy—even for defects smaller than 1mm.
