TOMRA 5A Optical Sorter

Capacity30 tons per hour at up to 15% IDL

TOMRA's optical sorter for washed and peeled vegetables: 30 tons per hour at up to 15% IDL, with 98%+ accuracy on foreign material and good-in-bad under 1%.

Made by TOMRA · Supplied and installed by HJV Engineering

TOMRA 5A optical sorter

The TOMRA 5A sorts washed and peeled vegetables, including potatoes, onions, carrots and peppers. It removes both foreign material and product defects, and three-way sorting splits the flow into more than accept and reject.

TOMRA's figures: 30 tons per hour at up to 15% Incoming Defect Load (IDL), 98%+ accuracy on foreign material, and good-in-bad below 1%, so very little good product goes out with the rejects.

Pulsed LED sensors and high-speed ejection fingers do the work, and the operator interface is easy to run. HJV Engineering places the 5A after washing and drying and ties it into the line's controls, so you cut manual sorting hours without creating a bottleneck.
