Sensors

Camera
Discover how TOMRA’s advanced camera-based imaging systems, featuring pulsed LED illumination technology, deliver reliable, cost-effective solutions for food sorting and grading. As pioneers in free-fall and belt sorting applications, TOMRA offers flexible, stable, and high-performance camera solutions for bulk sorting, lane grading, and quality control. Cameras detect foreign materials and sort by color, size, shape, and defects—ensuring superior accuracy across a wide range of applications.

Laser
TOMRA Food leverages proprietary laser sensing technologies to achieve the highest contrast in food sorting, accurately distinguishing between good products and defects, including foreign materials and invisible toxins. TOMRA’s technology enables fine-tuned detection of specific product properties, such as surface structure, for consistently reliable results.

LUCAi™
Our customers say they achieve unparalleled precision in grading because "LUCAi™ knows the difference" between even the hard-to-detect defects. But how does LUCAi™ know? Learn more about how this form of artificial intelligence works for apples, blueberries, cherries, and now, citrus fruits.

Handling

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.
