Tomra will be at Foodex 2014

At Foodex 2014, Tomra representatives will be ready to answer questions about its sensor-based technologies for sorting, peeling and process analytics. The company will be showcasing its Genius optical belt sorter which can handle many types of food, including vegetables, French fries, and potato crisps. Likewise the revolutionary Nimbus free-fall sorter, which touts biometric signature identification (BSI) technology will be on demo.

“The Genius is a flexible sorter, providing gentle handling and consistent, long-life accuracy, plus a very fast payback on investment,” said Steve Raskin, Tomra sales director for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. “Sorting multiple applications by a range of criteria, including blemishes, damage, foreign material and biological characteristics - such as chlorophyll, mycotoxins, water and oil content - the Nimbus BSI is easy to set and operate, with one programme fitting all varieties. Benefits of the Nimbus with BSI technology for nut and dried fruit sorters include its delivery of a fully-optimised sort and increased uptime, quality, throughput and yield,” he said. 

“We hope food producers and processors will come to Foodex and share their requirements with us, so we can recommend customised solutions, tailor-made for their needs, given that our numerous systems are fully modular and offer many feature combinations,” he said.

Foodex 2014, one of the UK’s leading shows for processing, packaging and logistics, will be held at the NEC Birmingham in the United Kingdom, from March 24-26. See Tomra at stand G321.
