JDC (USA, Inc.) has been supplying ‘total integrated solutions’ for large-scale onion growing and packing businesses in the United States since 2014. Its grading lines are based on a unique camera sorting system that measures the external and internal quality of the onions. Sorting can be done by weight, colour and size. JDC engineers all aspects of the line to customer-specific requirements and ensures that all mechanical components dovetail perfectly. The result is onions of consistently higher quality with a substantial saving on labour costs. The investment can be recouped within a few years.
Revolution in onion sorting
The synergy between the camera sorting systems developed by Elisamand the extraction systems offered by Jongejans Dust Collectors has revolutionised the onion sorting process. The effectiveness of the combined ‘sorting solution’ has been amply demonstrated in practice in the US, where the system has been enormously successful. The companies have now decided to extend their partnership globally.

The integrated sorting solution is supplied globally by JDC Onion Grading Solutions. As part of Jongejans Dust Collectors, JDC can draw on a wealth of knowledge and experience gained over many years in the onion industry. As in the US, the machines can be integrated within an existing line or supplied as a total solution. Full customisation makes it possible to start reaping the many benefits of electronic sorting without delay.
