Powered By Innovation, Enabled By Expertise
The 5S Blueberry brings together decades of expertise and a deep understanding of what truly drives fruit value. Its innovation lies not just in advanced imaging, but in a fully re‑engineered grading journey that protects bloom, minimizes impact, and preserves the natural quality of every berry. From infeed to discharge, every mechanical touchpoint is optimized to reduce abrasion and pressure, ensuring blueberries leave the facility in exceptional condition.
Powered by Spectrim with LUCAi™, the system gives operators clear, actionable insight into the value markers that matter. Its precise defect detection, intelligent classification, and refined handling deliver consistent, first‑pass accuracy while improving efficiency. Built for year‑round use with durable components and an intuitive, adaptable interface, the 5S Blueberry stands as a comprehensive, expertly engineered solution that elevates both product quality and operational performance.
The new TOMRA 5S Blueberry optical grader, powered by Spectrim with LUCAi™ is a step forward for the blueberry industry. We’ve been focusing on what truly matters to growers and packers; dehydration detection, bloom retention, low impact handling, grading accuracy, and optimized throughput.
