Advanced cherry tomato grading

Accurate quality checks

You need cherry tomatoes that look good, taste good and can travel. Ellips TrueSort™ software leads the industry in accurately detecting the most common defects and quality characteristics inside and out such as stem, rot, splits, brix (sweetness), cell breakdown, cuts, stink bug marks and more

It also allows you to sort cherry tomatoes into different classes based on softness and firmness. Great for meeting premium, local and export demands.

A heavyweight in weighing

Even at incredibly fast speeds, TrueSort™ is able to accurately weigh every cherry tomato. It does this by weighing each one volumetrically using images from high tech cameras. The software also monitors the average product weight and capacity per hour and displays it on your visual dashboard.

Next level measuring

From small to jumbo, the TrueSort™ software takes multiple diameter measurements to determine the size of every kind of cherry tomato. The cherry tomato rotates under the camera, so you’re able to measure the entire surface. Specialized algorithms then determine the shape of the product ensuring flat cherry tomatoes are sorted from those with a more rounded-shape.

Grade every color

The Elifab TomatoClass achieves precision color separation by using live feedback from its high-resolution cameras combined with TrueSort software. Together they’ll grade multiple color classes and make sure different shades of red, yellow, and green cherry tomatoes can easily be sorted.

Stay in full control

TrueSort’s™ easy-to-use dashboard gives real-time data such as the percentage of defective cherry tomatoes, the amount of waste and the distribution of different quality aspects for each batch. This lets you make accurate operational decisions on-to-go whilst also giving you the freedom to incorporate data from your sorting process into dashboards and ERP systems.

End-to-end traceability

Always knowing where your cherry tomatoes are located, from infeed to packaging, is crucial to guaranteeing quality and safety. With end-to-end traceability, you can optimize your operating efficiency, analyze yields, and reduce food waste. Each package is labeled and can be tracked and traced back to the original grower and the field it came from.
