Near Infra-Red (NIR) spectroscopy enables an analysis of the molecular structure of a product whilst x-rays, fluorescent lighting and lasers measure the elemental composition of objects. The internal composition and surface structure of objects can also be analyzed to determine good or bad produce.  “TOMRA Sorting Food’s machines are not only the most efficient way to sort products; they are also a smart investment.” Tomra participates in Info Root Vegetables 2016 (being prepared); access to Info Root Vegetables 2015, where Tomra also participates. Pictures1 - Automation sorting nuts2 - Automation sorting peas3 - Automation sorting potatoes
