TOMRA 3A Optical Sorter
Up to 100 tons per hour at up to 30% IDL
TOMRA's optical sorter for unwashed vegetables: up to 100 tons per hour at up to 30% Incoming Defect Load, in a sealed enclosure built for rain, wind, dust and heat.
Optical sorting for washed and unwashed potatoes
TOMRA
TOMRA optical sorters take foreign material and defects out of the product flow so fewer people are needed on the picking table. HJV Engineering builds the TOMRA 3A into the Split Grader and Cyber Sort and designs the TOMRA 5A into wash and pack lines.
Hand-sorting is the stage most packers struggle to staff. Finding, training and keeping people to pick potatoes is hard, and tired eyes miss things. TOMRA optical sorters take that job on: they remove foreign material and unmarketable potatoes from the line and can switch quickly from one product batch to the next.
Two sorters, two jobs
The TOMRA 3A is built for unwashed vegetables. Pulsed LED sensors and an AI-powered texture classifier find rocks, clods and debris, and a fully sealed enclosure stands up to rain, wind, dust and heat. TOMRA rates it at up to 100 tons per hour at up to 30% Incoming Defect Load (IDL). See the TOMRA 3A.
The TOMRA 5A is built for washed and peeled vegetables, including potatoes, onions, carrots and peppers. TOMRA rates it at 30 tons per hour at up to 15% IDL, with 98%+ accuracy on foreign material and good-in-bad below 1%. High-speed ejection fingers and three-way sorting handle both foreign material and product defects. See the TOMRA 5A.
Built into HJV lines
HJV Engineering designs TOMRA sorters into the line around them: the feed, the spreading, the reject handling and the controls. The TOMRA 3A sits at the heart of the Split Grader, which cleans potatoes into storage at up to 160 tons per hour, and the Cyber Sort, which cleans them out of storage at up to 100 tons per hour. The sorter, compressor and automation panel move between the two chassis, so one 3A can work at harvest and again at shipping.
TOMRA sorters can grade for external and internal defects and meet several product specifications at once, with hygiene and easy cleaning designed into the machine. Ask us which sorter fits your crop, your defect load and your line.
