TOMRA Unveils Game-Changing Optical Sorter and PP Recycling Tech
TOMRA Food has introduced the 4C optical sorting machine, designed for the nut and individual quick freezing (IQF) sectors. This innovative technology allows multiple AI systems to operate simultaneously. Meanwhile, TOMRA Recycling showcased its latest polypropylene (PP) sorting systems at its headquarters in Germany, with live demonstrations hosted by the NEXTLOOPP initiative, led by Simon Ellin and Edward Kosior.
The 4C machine, launched by TOMRA Food, combines various AI systems to sort products efficiently. This marks a significant advancement in the nut and IQF food industries.
At TOMRA Recycling's headquarters, the NEXTLOOPP initiative, spearheaded by Simon Ellin and Edward Kosior, demonstrated the company's latest PP sorting systems. The event highlighted TOMRA's deep learning solution, GAINnext, which can differentiate between food-grade and non-food-grade PP using neural networks and object recognition.
Edward Kosior revealed that the US has granted FDA approval for using recycled polypropylene in food-grade applications. This approval opens up new possibilities for recycling and waste management in the food industry.
During live trials, TOMRA's AUTOSORT system successfully separated PP bales into white and natural fractions, showcasing the technology's precision and efficiency.
TOMRA's recent innovations, including the 4C optical sorting machine and advanced PP sorting systems, are set to revolutionise waste management and recycling in the food and plastic industries. The FDA approval for recycled polypropylene in food-grade applications further boosts the potential of these technologies.
