Sorting
Processing processes always start with the natural products that come from the field. First of all, these products destoned and washed. Depending on the specific process of our customers, we like to determine the optimal solution for further peeling, cutting and sorting.
Sorting is an important step in the production process. Sorting not only ensures a more efficient production flow, but also an end product of the highest quality.
For example, potatoes are sorted by size, but deviations can also be sorted. In this way, poor quality potatoes or potatoes that have not been sufficiently peeled, for example, can be removed from the production flow.
On the basis of the customer’s wishes, we examine together what the most effective form of sorting is. Marcelissen offers suitable solutions for mechanical and optical sorting with a wide sorting range, fast adjustment possibilities and low-maintenance technology.

Sliver Remover
In the production process of potatoes, beets, carrots and other tuberous vegetables, after peeling and cutting you have to deal with slivers.
Slivers are short, unsuitable pieces of fruit and vegetables. These slivers have to be sorted out of the production flow, because they influence the quality of the end product.
Use the Marcelissen Sliver Remover SR2 or the Sliver Remover for Food-Service/Catering Businesses SR2 4/1750 to remove all slivers from your end product.
The Sliver Remover with its unique sorting qualities has been used since 1979 by industry leaders in potato and chip processing, such as Aviko, Farm Frites, Cavendish, Simplot, Agristo and Cela Vita.
The Sliver Remover is also suitable for sorting other types of fresh fruit and vegetables, such as pineapples, peaches, carrots, tomatoes, mangos and beets. The production process of frozen fruit and vegetable products and nuts, such as cashew and pistachio, can also be optimised with our Sliver Remover.
The Sliver Remover is increasingly being used as an infeed for the Band Optical Sorter of our partners and can be added to all lines and shapes of optical sorters.
Products that are too small or unsuitable (depending on the size) are removed by the Sliver Remover earlier in the production process, so that the Optical Sorter is not unnecessarily soiled. The Sliver Remover also feeds the product proportionally across the width of the Band Optical Sorter belt and does not end up on the grading machine in batches. This improves the result of the Band Optical Sorter.

Optical Sorting
With optical sorting you can judge potatoes and beets on quality, size, shape, colour, black eyes and any other characteristics. This ensures that your end product is of the highest quality.
The Optical Sorter Mechanical and Optical Sorter Pneumatic are suitable for sorting by size, shape and colour with unlimited sorting possibilities.
The optical sorting area is equipped with unique software and special cameras that ensure fast data processing with unprecedented accuracy. This way we guarantee that all potatoes that end up on the inspection conveyor belt are of the highest quality.
Marcelissen’s Optical Sorting Machine has a mechanical ejection technology. Products are not moved by flippers or pneumatically, but by means of a ‘slider’ that gradually pushes the product off the sorting line. The product then rolls away through a specially shaped funnel. With this technology, there is a minimized chance of product damage or contamination.
In addition, the Optical Sorting Machine is energy efficient and there is less noise nuisance.
