The era of automated sorting opens up even for freshly harvested potatoes.
Thanks to the Raynbow optical sorter from Raytec Vision, excellent results can finally be obtained even for unwashed potatoes. This machine can distinguish between potatoes covered with soil, clods, stones, and green potatoes.
Moreover, the 3Way configuration allows dividing between waste and second choice, contributing to a saving of raw materials and increasing the sustainability of potato sorting. Hans Felbermaier, managing director of a family-own company, confirms in full these new features.
“The introduction of Raynbow into the production process has brought countless benefits. First and foremost, sorting reliability, but also a considerable saving in production costs. Raynbow is a ductile machine that fits perfectly the producers’ needs,” Felbermaier mentioned.
From 2021, the new Raynbow 70 inches-wide version is available to manage higher production (up to 55 tons/hour). In 2022, Raytec will also release the newest 2.4-meter wide version to serve customers who need higher hourly production.
