TOMRA to demonstrate new innovations at Fruit Logstica

TOMRA Sorting Food will demonstrate two of its latest innovations for the fresh produce sector at Fruit Logistica.

The manufacturer will showcase the Modus, a new size grader for potatoes, and the Falcon, a cost-effective pre sorter for baby leaves, in hall 4.1 at booth D-09 during Fruit Logistica, which takes place at the Messe Berlin Fair Grounds on February 4-6.

“Fruit Logistica provides an ideal opportunity to meet with operators across the entire fresh produce supply chain and find out about their ongoing needs,” said Steve Raskin, sales director Europe, Middle East and Africa, from TOMRA Sorting Food. “It also enables us to introduce two great TOMRA Sorting Food machines to new customers so that they can see first-hand how their business will benefit from working with us.”

The Modus size grader for washed potatoes is able to grade produce by length or width or both simultaneously, unlike most mechanical sorters which grade by width only, according to the company. It can be used as a standalone grader or included in the production line after quality sorting has taken place.

The Falcon pre-sorter detects and removes unwanted material brought on to the production line from the field, such as droppings, rodents, bugs, plastic, wood, soil clumps and stones, according to TOMRA. The machine meets all the stringent hygiene requirements of the fresh cut industry and has a low carbon footprint.
