Nuts-Macadamias-Hero

Macadamia sorting machines

TOMRA's processing equipment ensures consistent food safety removing foreign materials and defects with superior detection capabilities on Macadamia Nuts. We combine state-of-the-art tech with automated sorting solutions to reduce labor costs, improve margins, and enhance operations with actionable data.

After cracking and before manual grading, we have halved the level of unsound nuts from 8% to 4%. No other technology can match this.
