Waste during potato sorting reduced by 30%

Visar Sorting sees big market potential regarding potato sorting.

The company specializes in the development and distribution of high-quality sorting systems for field crops, especially potatoes and carrots. The systems from the established Sortop product line are now used on numerous farms in almost all important growing countries of the world. Despite the enthusiasm for innovation in the industry, the sector has been increasingly under pressure in recent years. Pitton: “Since the Covid crisis, our customers, predominantly carrot and potato producers and packers, have significant personnel problems, which is why it is increasingly difficult to secure production accordingly. In addition, wages and production costs are rising. Accordingly, the automation of packaging centers is becoming increasingly important, which is reflected in a high demand for optical sorting machines.”
