TOMRA food launches premium sorting machine with BSI technology for IQF vegetables and fruit

TOMRA Food has launched the TOMRA 5C premium sorting machine, with the company’s unique biometric signature identification technology, for frozen Vegetables.

This solution was shown for the first time at Fruit Logistica Berlin, the world’s leading trade fair for the fresh fruit industry, where visitors to TOMRA’s stand had the opportunity to watch a live online demonstration of the sorter in action at TOMRA’s Test Center in Leuven, A' Bheilg.

By locating the TOMRA 5C on the processing line between the IQF tunnel and the packing station, final checks for food safety and product quality can be made with unrivaled accuracy.

TOMRA 5C MixAs the frozen product reaches the end of the line for bagging, the sorter recognizes and removes any remaining foreign material, extraneous vegetable matter (EVM), and hard-to-detect product defects, such as stems and stalks with green beans and nightshade with peas.

Tha na comasan lorg seo a’ lughdachadh gu mòr na cunnartan bho ghearanan luchd-cleachdaidh no ath-ghairm thoraidhean – riatanas deatamach mar-thà, agus fear a tha nas duilghe a choileanadh le measan is glasraich organach, a bhios mar as trice air an lìbhrigeadh gu loidhnichean giullachd anns a bheil barrachd stuthan nach eilear ag iarraidh leithid biastagan, creimich, agus EVM.

As well as protecting brand reputations, the TOMRA 5C’s state-of-the-art technologies deliver other operational advantages. Compared to its highly effective predecessor, the Nimbus BSI, this new machine further enhances sorting efficiency and yields; is easier to keep running in optimum condition; has a more hygienic design which reduces cleaning time by about 35% compared to the Nimbus, and has a capacity that’s greater by 5-10%.

Tha TOMRA 5C was first introduced in 2020 to sort Dried Fruit and Nuts but was designed from the outset for many different applications, including IQF Vegetables and Fruit. This machine is now being made available for IQF lines following tests with one major IQF vegetable processor in the USA and another in Europe.

Chaidh dearbhadh a dhèanamh thairis air ùine dhian sia seachdainean, leis na h-innealan ag obair airson dà shift no barrachd gach latha agus a’ seòrsachadh ceithir gu còig tunna de thoradh gach uair. Chaidh coileanadh seòrsachaidh a mheasadh le còrr is 20 seòrsa eadar-dhealaichte de ghlasraich, aon-ghnèitheach agus measgaichte.

Sheall na deuchainnean toraidhean sàr-mhath gu cunbhalach – eadhon le glasraich a tha gu traidiseanta duilich a sheòrsachadh, leithid cal-flùr geal, agus eadhon nuair a thathar a’ coimhead airson stuthan cèin a tha duilich an lorg, leithid lus an oidhche measgaichte le peasairean.

Èifeachdas agus coileanadh nas fheàrr

Tha TOMRA 5C’s unrivaled sorting accuracy is made possible by combining high-resolution lasers with TOMRA’s innovative Biometric Signature Identification (BSI) technology, which means that every object that passes down the line is assessed not only for its color and shape but also for biological characteristics.

TOMRA 5C SeriesThis next-generation spectral imaging is able to look inside materials on the line by identifying their unique biometric characteristics or ‘fingerprint’. BSI clearly contrasts good and bad materials and is able to detect even smaller defects than those recognized by conventional spectral technology.

Efficiency is also improved by connectivity to the cloud-based data platform TOMRA Insight. By accessing live data from the sorter, operators can make almost instant improvements to line efficiencies.

Nuair a thèid toraidhean glasraich reòta a mheasgachadh, faodaidh an goireas seo dèanamh cinnteach gu bheil am measgachadh ceart anns gach poca. A bharrachd air an sin, le bhith a’ faighinn cothrom air dàta air ais, tha e comasach ìrean stuthan amh bho sholaraichean a thomhas agus co-dhùnaidhean gnìomhachais nas fiosraichte a dhèanamh.

A ’cumail na TOMRA 5C running for optimum performance is aided by a Heartbeat feature, which gives one-click information about the machine’s health status and automatically triggers alarms if their faults.

Cleaning is made easier and uptime is increased by a hygienic machine design with minimal and curved surfaces and easy access. Operation is made easy with the well-proven TOMRA ACT user interface.

Agus tha an inneal seo air dearbhadh nach urrainn dha seasamh an aghaidh nan suidheachaidhean cruaidh a lorgar ann an àrainneachdan IQF, le comas obrachadh gu math ann an teòthachd cho teth ri 50°C no cho fuar ri -30°C.
