TOMRA Blizzard Optical Sorter with Lauda Chiller

TOMRA Blizzard Optical Sorter with Lauda Chiller

Is a high-performance optical sorter used primarily in the food industry to ensure product safety and quality. Specifically, the Blizzard is designed to handle Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) produce, though it is also used for fresh applications. It utilizes pulsed LED technology to detect and remove defects based on color, shape, and size differences from the product stream.

Specs:

• Feeding: An infeed shaker spreads the product uniformly
• Action:  A computer analyzes the data in milliseconds. If a defect is detected, a precise burst of air knocks the unwanted item into a rejection zone while the good product continues to fall into the packaging line
• Technology: Uses pulsed LED sensors for high-stability inspection
• Applications: Ideal for peas, corn, berries, and other small IQF fruits or vegetables
• Design: A small-footprint machine intended to easily fit into existing processing lines, often positioned after freezing tunnels or before packing
• Efficiency:  Highly effective at removing foreign material and products that are misshapen, spoiled, or discolored
• Removing Foreign Material: It identifies and ejects non-food items like stems, leaves, insects, glass, foil, and wood
• Quality Grading: The machine detects and removes blemished, discolored, crushed, or misshapen products
• Yield Optimization:  It uses ultra-fast air jets to eject only the defective items with pinpoint accuracy, which helps food processors maximize their final output

LAUDA Ultracool Industrial Circulation Chiller
