TOMRA sorting food targets the fruit and vegetable industry at 2015 PMA Fresh Summit

TOMRA Sorting Food is set to showcase its Blizzard free fall sorting machine for the individually quick frozen (IQF) vegetable and fruit processing market at the 2015 PMA Fresh Summit taking place in Atlanta, Georgia. Located at booth 467, experts from TOMRA will be on hand at the Georgia World Congress Center from October 23 – 25 to discuss the machine on display with processors and packers from across the industry. The Blizzard free-fall sorter is a cost effective solution which provides continuous inspection and removes unwanted discolorations, foreign material and misshapen produce to deliver an optimum yield of high quality and safe products for customers. The sorting machine can be easily implemented into existing processing lines and can be installed after the IQF tunnels or prior to packing. It delivers stable detection and handles both mono and mixed color produce. Karel Strubbe, sales manager Americas and Oceania, says: “The Blizzard involves pulsed LED technology, already implemented in other TOMRA sorters and adapted to the specific needs of the IQF industry. Our proven track record in frozen fruit and vegetable sorting solutions, and improvements in technology, enabled us to deliver this breakthrough for the food sorting market. “TOMRA’S food sorting machines are not only the most efficient way to sort products; they are also a smart investment.  Customers are reporting significant increases in yield, through put and productivity, lower utility and maintenance costs, improved in line analysis and more.   “We understand that sorting food isn’t a one-size-fits-all process and that is why exhibiting at events such as Fresh Summit is so important.  We can speak directly to customers and find out how we can tailor our approach and service to suit them.” TOMRA Sorting Food is a leading provider of sensor-based food sorting machines and processing technology for the fresh and processed food industries.
