Newtec offers equipment to enable optical sorting of potatoes

Newtec, a prominent manufacturer of weighing, packing and sorting machinery primarily for the fruit and vegetable industry, has manufacture an optical sorting machines that meets all types of quality standards and pre-set classifications.

The Celox-P-UHD is the only machine on the market that can simultaneously grade products in size, shape and quality, and then deliver the products in up to 16 different categories at a capacity of up to 30tph. The optical sorting machine features a mechanical setup with chutes, rollers and a 'spinaflex-system', which is able to cope with great spans in product dimensions without the need for pre-grading. As the sorting is performed in a single process, the carbon footprint of the machine is quite small, allowing for easy integration in a production line.

Rasmus Andersen, Head of Software Department of Newtec Engineering: "First of all, our patented system for vibrating rollers is unique and performs an excellent job in terms of making sure that all products are seen from all angles while maintaining the high speed. Designing and deploying a durable system, which can sustain the rather harsh and dirty production line environment has been quite an accomplishment."

"Secondly, the machine is constructed with maximum efficiency in mind, combining high production throughput with a relatively small footprint. The result is an efficient and space-saving machine that ensures a very thorough quality check and classification of every single crop before it is presented in the sales packaging."
