The TOMRA 5A is a premium bulk sorting and size grader that is very popular with potato processors and great for other food products.

This heavy-duty, high capacity, and high-performance sorter improves yields every minute it is running.

With TOMRA, we've gained an additional three hours without personnel delays — enabling us to perform three processes: shipping, storing, and cleaning the product, all with minimal manual labor and no downtime waiting for personnel.
