Newtec camera vision system
The design of their camera sections is adapted to potatoes. The potatoes are conveyed and led through the camera section on vibrating rollers - a unique and patented system which ensures that the potatoes are inspected from all angles because they rotate while they are propelled forward by gentle roller vibrations.
The machine is constructed with maximum efficiency in mind, combining high production throughput with a relatively small footprint.
They are proud to offer an efficient and space-saving machine that ensures a very thorough quality check and classification of every single crop before it is presented in the sales packaging. They look forward to optimising the value of each of your potatoes by sorting them in the most profitable way.
