Tomra Sorting solutions showcased at Potato Europe
Representing TOMRA’s entry into the unwashed potato market, the FPS uses unique near infra-red (NIR) technology to remove soil clods, stones and rotten potatoes. It also removes the foreign material commonly found in European fields, such as golf balls, plastics and wood. The FPS offers significant reductions in labor and storage costs, alongside improved yields, quality and operational efficiency.
TOMRA says the Halo system’s benefits include: significant labor cost reductions, averaging 80 per cent; yield increases of up to four per cent; low operational costs; and fast return on investment.
Fresh pack Halo applications include: salad, small, main crop, large, sweet and russet potatoes; carrots; parsnips; onions; tomatoes; pickles; cucumbers; and gherkins. Processor applications include: peeled and unpeeled potatoes; carrots; peach and pear halves; tomatoes; green beans, onions; apricots; and citrus fruits, such as oranges and mandarins.
TOMRA Sorting Solutions creates sensor-based technologies for sorting, peeling and process analytics. The company unites four strong brands under one roof: TITECH for recycling, TOMRA Sorting Mining for mining, ODENBERG for food and BEST for food and specialty products.
The alliance provides many benefits and synergies including 15 test centers worldwide, access to a vast array of technologies and a large research and development department. TOMRA Sorting Solutions’ global reach also allows it to deliver an enhanced service offering, with a shared service network ensuring the company is always close to its customers.
