TOMRA Sorting Food is ready to welcome you at the Pack Expo 2017 in booth 8027.
TOMRA Shows Next-Generation Food Sorting Technology at Pack Expo 2017
Global food sorting leader, TOMRA Sorting, Inc., announced today that the company will be showcasing two of its newest innovative sorting machines at the upcoming Pack Expo in Las Vegas, in the expo’s South Hall from Sept. 25-27 (Booth 8027).
Karel Strubbe, Regional Sales Director for the Americas and Oceania of TOMRA:
With worldwide demand for potato products continuing to grow, TOMRA Sorting Food is supporting potato processors by launching an enhanced sorting solution which removes more than 98 percent of all typical foreign objects found in product streams after washing and peeling.
Food processors struggling with filtering out such foreign materials and defects as stones, plastics, glass, wood, metal, corncobs and rot will welcome the TOMRA 5A, which offers state-of-the-art sorting technology.
Karel Strubbe:
This new technology also ensures the food safety of the whole potato along the entire processing line. In addition, it also dramatically reduces the risk of foreign objects damaging cutting equipment or otherwise contributing to a line stoppage.
Karel Strubbe:
The TOMRA 5B sorting machine guarantees optimal sorting of a variety of food products, from vegetables and potatoes to leafy products. Its new and innovative capabilities assist customers to meet the highest standards for both food safety and quality.
The TOMRA 5B incorporates TOMRA’s smart surround view technology, which features high-resolution cameras and high intensity LEDs, providing superior product appearance and 360-degree inspection.
Karel Strubbe:
One of the most important new features of both machines is their ability to help customers meet the latest regulatory food safety and quality standards.
Karel Strubbe:
This brand-new intuitive and functional graphical user interface design and operating system encompasses a one-screen layout so users can see all critical sort information and real-time sorting data at a glance.
Quick monitoring and fast adjustments are possible at all times, which means the customer is always in control of the quality of the sort.
