Overview
The Visar Sortop is the latest, fully automatic electronic vegetable sorter ideal for high-quality optical grading and sorting of carrots and potatoes. The Visar Sortop optical grader can sort any batch of carrots or potatoes consistently and efficiently, completely removing the need for manual sorting.
Tong is proud to be the UK’s sole distributor of the Swiss Visar Sortop carrot and potato sorters. Due to the success of its original carrot sorter, Visar now offers its advanced optical sorting technology in two models. A highly accurate optical carrot sorter, and an intelligent optical potato sorter.
Visar INTELLIGENT OPTICAL SORTING
With the capability to automatically sort any batch of crop, the innovative design of the Sortop optical grader offers the highest quality sorting. Increasing the percentage of crop sold by up to 5%, without the need for any manual labour.
This unique machine can significantly reduce labour costs whilst facilitating increased crop sales. With a Visar optical grader you can rest assured your crop will be sorted with the highest accuracy, so you can concentrate on getting more value from your sorted crop.
Offering significant labour savings alongside increased crop revenue, the Sortop could be the best investment you make within your carrot grading & handling facility.
Features

ADVANCED SORTING
By not only removing the need for manual sorting, the Visar Sortop can also increase the percentage of crop that can be sold by up to 5%. The Sortop increases accuracy and consistency whilst identifying more sellable crop.

ACCURATE DETECTION
The high definition camera used within the Visar Sortop means that all defects are detected. Plus, the machine can even differentiate between a water stain and the tiniest black spot.

360 DEGREE VISION
The 360 degree mirror system means that every carrot and potato is entirely analysed, at an impressive rate of 12 to 15 carrots per second. This is the only reliable means of detecting any defects, whilst grading and weighing the carrots with exceptional accuracy to the nearest millimetre and gram.

AIR EJECTION
A highly accurate nozzle system blows compressed air following a calculated trajectory, based on each carrot or potato’s dimension and weight.

GENTLE HANDLING
Crop is handled exceptionally gently with no drops. Soft-lined output areas ensure the highest quality crop with no damage or breakages.

AUTO-ADJUSTMENT
The unique software of the Sortop sorter really sets it apart from other optical sorting systems on the market. As the exclusive design intelligent controls allow the system to work as if you were sorting manually. But with greater capacity and consistency. The unique auto-learning process therefore removes the need for tedious adjusting and programming. The machine learns what defects are acceptable and not. You can therefore literally pass any batch of carrots through the machine without adjustment.

NO MANUAL SORTING
The Visar Sortop is different from any other optical sorter on the market. It can sort your whole crop efficiently, automatically and without manual labour. Other sorters often require an extra manual sort – some need crop to be re-graded, and others don’t have a grading and weighing function.
