TOMRA 5B

World-class belt sorter for potatoes, vegetables, proteins, and leafy greens

The TOMRA 5B is the top-of-the-line belt sorter for many products, including French fries, chips (crisps), other potato products, protein products, green beans, spinach, peas, carrots, bell peppers, various leafy veggies, and baby spinach leaves. Its flexibility and accuracy are only rivaled by its gentle handling.

Coupling the latest sensor tech and advanced algorithms, the TOMRA 5B enables you to reach the most challenging quality targets and yields.

The performance difference of TOMRA’s sorters, compared to the others we had, is staggering. We got results above expectations – a 99% removal rate for all defects at TOMRA’s recommended capacity. Now we've boosted production volumes by an increase of 16X in just 4 years.
