    Futureproof

The TOMRA 5S Advanced handles fruit gently, reduces spill, is ultra-hygienic, easy to clean, and so advanced it can be relied upon to deliver the best sorting and grading performance for many years to come. This machine is suitable for apples, avocados, citrus fruits, kiwifruit, and fresh pack potatoes. 

We predicted that we could invest in our second 5S Advanced after two or three years. But we were so satisfied with TOMRA's technologies and support that we ordered our second machine just three months later. Thanks to these investments, we doubled the capacity of Özler Tarım, which has a 35-year history, in just one year.

Key benefits

  • 5S 1

    Ultra-hygienic 

    The only platform truly designed for hygienic operation. Every component that contacts the fruit is made of stainless steel or specialized food-grade injection-molded polymers.

  • 5S Advanced

    Easy to clean

    Regular tasks which previously took hours, such as removing and cleaning cross belts, now take just 5 to 10 minutes. Surfaces that contact fruit are engineered for quick release and toolless removal.

  • 5S 3

    In-built reliability 

    The most reliable fruit sorter, thanks to individual drum drives, jointless belts, low-stretch chain, dual-tipping carriers, isolated weigh bridge, and virtually indestructible polymer chutes, sweeps, and backstops.

  • 5S

    Gentle handling

    Traditional padded surfaces are replaced with sculpted stainless steel and molded polymer surfaces in geometries which dampen and decelerate the fruit, handling it with exceptionally gentleness.

Food Trust Front

All key contact areas are stainless steel or
food safe polymer. Toolless design for easy cleaning &
maintenance. Inclined front for better singulation. Redesigned lane dividers improve gentle
handling and versatility when sorting multiple fruit types.

Isolated weigh bridge

All key contact areas are stainless steel or food safe polymer. Toolless design for easy cleaning & maintenance. Inclined front for better singulation. Redesigned lane dividers improve gentle handling and versatility when sorting multiple fruit types

Advanced carrier design

TOMRA Food’s proprietary carrier design enables a single carrier to gently singulate, rotate, weigh and eject produce without any additional fruit transfers. Dual sided tipping ejects produce to both sides using intelligent algrithms to avoid colliding fruit and improve gentle handling

New clip out polymer chutes, backstops & sweeps

New polymer chute outlets deliver improved fruit flow and maintain excellent handling in an easy to clean design. New brush drop outlets maintain class leading handling while delivering easy brush exchange and maintenance.

New soft-tipping solenoid

Food Trust solenoid delivers improved reliability of maintenance through a simple clean-in-place design. Dual sided tipping ejects produce to both sides using intelligent algrithms to avoid colliding fruit and improve gentle handling. Fruit juice resistance hygienic design.

New TOMRA Food chain

As we push the sorter longer the quality of the chain becomes vital to maintaining performance. The new TOMRA Food chain reduces wear, enhances corrosion resistance and mitigates chain-stretch, improving reliability and machine uptime.

Food Trust crossbelts (optional)

Toolless detentioning and removal of components. Clean-out-of-place (COP) designs enable the swap of contaminated components in a few minutes. Reduced cleaning downtime for maintenance.
