FOOD SAFETY
Frozen vegetable producer Vitro uses
the BSI+ technology's high-performance,
easily configurable programs for low false
rejection rates. Photos courtesy of TOMRA.
These similarities can make it necessary to sort objects
according to their biological characteristics. TOMRA Food
offers effective sorting solutions for vegetable products
including individual quick freezing (IQF), fresh pack,
fresh-cut and canned.
The TOMRA 5B and the TOMRA 5C are best suited to
detecting and rejecting toxic weeds. Some processors
use both these machines on the same line: the TOMRA
5B before the product is sliced or blanched, and then the
TOMRA 5C, with Biometric Signature Identification (BSI
and BSI+) technology, to make final checks between the
IQF tunnel and the packing station.
Increasing fresh produce production
The TOMRA 5B is a high-end belt sorting machine
that can detect and reject datura and nightshade weeds
mixed with fresh product. Combining 360-degree
camera technology with one or more lasers and
advanced shape algorithms, the machine sorts by
color, shape and structure and detects up to 99% of
foreign material.
The TOMRA 5B's touchscreen user interface shows
sorting information and real-time process data. The
Health Check feature automatically informs the
operator before sorting if any of the machine's surfaces
need cleaning.
As well as green beans and baby leaf spinach, the
TOMRA 5B is also used for products including peas,
carrots, spinach, corn, bell peppers, fresh-cut baby leaf
