Features

Blue Inverter Technology

All Tong vegetable grading lines are built with Tong’s Blue Inverter Technology. Offering the very best energy efficiency with all electric Inverter Variable Speed Direct Drive. Significantly increasing energy savings and reduced running costs.

Built-in Power Efficiency

Tong’s latest vegetable grading equipment is designed to operate with optimum power efficiency. Incorporating energy efficient power-saving modes which identify and shut-off any equipment that is not in use. This new feature does wonders for your green credentials, whilst reducing energy costs too!

Auto-Touch HMI Control

Tong offers advanced and intelligent Auto-Touch HMI Pro-Series controls as an option on all its latest grading equipment. Bringing a level of control and system intelligence to the vegetable handling industry – one that would more commonly be seen in the aviation and rail industries. Tong’s touch screen controls truly are the most advanced on the market, offering control capabilities that will leave you feeling quite literally empowered at the touch of a button!
The latest intelligent Pro-Series features, are built on next generation hardware and programming, allowing very obvious efficiencies. As such, Tong’s state-of-the-art controls include a series of modules. Including a diagnostics module, an enhanced safety module and a maintenance schedule module, providing advanced system monitoring and reporting.

Pro-Series E-Stop Finder

Tong’s latest Pro-Series controls include an intelligent emergency-stop finder which visually identifies on the touch-screen, the precise location of any emergency-stop which is activated. This new feature saves time and minimises downtime.

Pro-Series User ID

The new Pro-Series controls feature an advanced user module, allowing operators of all levels to access and control equipment, based on their level of training. This means users at standard levels are able to see visually, the machine’s status or diagnostics. In many cases this allows them to rectify and reset any alerts without the need for an engineer.

Pro-Series Diagnostics

The intelligent Diagnostics module provides users with continuous status monitoring. So in the event of an issue, the exact location is automatically pin-pointed, enabling quick and easy problem solving and resetting. Any such issues are shown visually on the touch-screen, allowing users of any level to see exactly where the problem has occurred. This feature significantly reduces downtime, removing the guess-work on machine trips and fault-finding.

Pro-Series Maintenance

The new Maintenance Schedule module allows the run-time of any machine component to be recorded in terms of running hours or calendar periods, indicating when any part may need to be maintained or changed. This makes any scheduled maintenance much more efficient. This new feature not only improves the efficiency of maintenance, but it also allows users to be more pro-active in their maintenance routines. Minimising wear and repair costs and saving time.

Pro-Series Safety

The Enhanced Safety module means that when any essential maintenance is required, the designated area can be isolated in a ‘safety-stopped’ condition, so that maintenance can be carried out safely. Whilst other parts of the machine can continue to run in a normal operational status. Again, keeping any downtime to an absolute minimum.

Box-Fill Beacons

The latest Tong grading lines can be manufactured to incorporate illuminated box filling beacons when several box fillers are in use. Making it much quicker and easier for forklift drivers to see which boxes need to be changed next. This new feature saves time, whilst improving the efficiency and throughput of Tong grading lines.

From fine-tuning the speed and agitation of grading screens to suit different crop varieties, to designing a grading line that ensures crop is transferred smoothly and gently from one process to the next.
