Farmsort.one and Wyma Lead the Way in High-Tech Potato Sorting and Washing

The potato processing industry is witnessing a leap in automation with solutions like Farmsort, a cutting-edge sorting system that uses industrial IDS cameras to grade potatoes by size and quality into up to five categories in a single pass, achieving a throughput of up to 2 tons per hour. This machine-vision technology eliminates subjective manual assessment, delivering consistent, high-speed precision. The impact on labor efficiency has been dramatic: 73% of users report that manual re-sorting has become entirely unnecessary after implementation, significantly reducing labor costs and human error while accelerating post-harvest handling.

Complementing this smart sorting capability, Canadian company Wyma has engineered a high-capacity washing line designed for premium varietal potatoes, processing an impressive 50–60 tons per hour. What sets this system apart is its closed-loop water recirculation, which drastically reduces freshwater consumption and environmental impact while maintaining impeccable cleanliness standards. Together, these innovations—one focused on intelligent optical grading and the other on sustainable high-volume washing—demonstrate how advanced engineering is streamlining the entire potato supply chain, from field to packaging, with greater speed, consistency, and ecological responsibility.
