Key benefits

  • TOMRA blueberry inspection

    Gentle

    KATO260 handles the fruit gently, with fewer transitions and anti-bruise surfaces, to maximize bloom retention and shelf life. 

  • Kato 2

    Versatile and fast

    For sizing in numerous bands or removing defective fruit, KATO260 provides five or seven outlets, sorting at speeds of up to 286 or 572 berries per second. And its sensible footprint minimizes the need for floor-space.

  • KATO 3

    Precision selection

    A unique rolling conveyor system singulates and rotates blueberries to inspect 100% of the fruit’s surface. The result is precise detection of color, softness, bruising, decay, dehydration, stems, peeling, and scarring.

  • KATO Lucai Machine

    Return on investment

    With KATO260’s precision controls it’s possible to meet sophisticated grading criteria, optimizing harvested fruit for maximum return. And by improving efficiencies, this machine also reduces labor processing costs.
