TOMRA Food, a pioneer in cutting-edge sorting solutions, is gearing up to reveal its latest technologies for fresh pack potatoes at the forthcoming IFPA’s Global Produce & Floral Show.

Taking place from October 19-21 in Anaheim, California, the event will feature the TOMRA team at Booth 3304, showcasing how their state-of-the-art sorting solutions can transform the efficiency of potato sorting lines.

Diarmuid Meagher, TOMRA Processed Food’s VP and Sales Manager for the Northwestern and Western Regions, USA and Canada, conveyed his excitement about the event.

“We are thrilled to reconnect with our IFPA Potato sector clientele in Anaheim,” Meagher expressed. “We have noteworthy updates on our TOMRA 3A and 5A sorter developments to share. Our ongoing innovation ensures that our Potato grower and wash plant customers can optimize yields and productivity. This not only reduces operational costs and contamination risks but also significantly diminishes the dependence on human sorting labor, which is becoming increasingly scarce.”

Attendees at the TOMRA booth will experience an interactive hologram display, featuring a range of potato solutions. This encompasses the TOMRA 3A optical sorter designed for unwashed potatoes, the premium TOMRA 5A bulk sorting and size grader, and the TOMRA 5B optical belt sorting machine.

The TOMRA 3A demonstrated its new system, which is driver by AI, making it one of the most effective foreign-material-remover in the market at the moment, with many people praising it in exhibitions. In addition, the 3A also classifies the potatoes by size.

The TOMRA 5A boasts a success rate of 98% in removing foreign materials such as rocks, as well as getting rid of any defective potatoes, that may be rotten or mishshapen, all while having a minimal failure rate, making it a very efficient solution for any potato processors.
