ALL-ROUND DETECTION CAPABILITIES
The new generation free-fall sorting solutions combines the efficiency of laser detection on foreign material, with the camera to sort discolorations and shape of products in free-fall. Developed in-house, the unique BSI (Biometric Signature Identification) technology works by detecting the biometric characteristics of objects. Combined with TOMRA’s patented Fluo™ technology, the Nimbus detects the slightest shades of chlorophyll to create an even better contrast between good products and defects. Other technologies available are SWIR, creating contrast between water-based products and other materials, the Advanced Foreign Material Detector™, and Detox™ for aflatoxin detection.
