Optical Sorting by Marcelissen
Dependable and innovative processing lines are a must in the potato processing industry. Since Marcelissen is always looking for ways to help optimize their customers’ production processes, we have been developing a brand new Optical Sorter which is now, after extensive testing, ready for production.
The biggest innovation in the new Marcelissen Optical Sorter is the fact that we developed a mechanical ejection system. This system gently pushes the product into the right ‘exit’, resulting in less product damage and reduced chances of contamination compared to traditional systems.
Another innovative aspect of our Optical Sorter is the fact that it pushes out good product instead of bad product. Therefore, no bad product will ever continue further down the line. Of course, our new Optical Sorter is equipped with the latest Machine Vision technology. In addition, the unique camera positioning allows for a perfect 360º image of each and every potato.
Sorting algorithms can be programmed to focus on size, colour, rotten spots, in order to make the right sortation for our customers. Wondering what our new Optical Sorter can do for your production process? Please contact us by clicking the button below.

Optimising the processing of a batch of beets
Beetroot is far more than just a vegetable. Following its journey from raw root to a tray of pre-cut beetroot on the supermarket shelf reveals a long and complex processing chain. One of the biggest challenges in this chain is the difference between summer and winter beetroot. For processors, this raises an important question: how can you design a processing line that operates efficiently all year round, despite fluctuations in raw material quality, while minimising product loss and ensuring a consistent end product?

Refurbished machines in stock – fast delivery
At Marcelissen, we occasionally have machines returned to us from customers. Not because there is anything wrong with them, but because the customer has chosen to upgrade to a newer model or adjust their line setup for the same application. The great thing about this is that the customer gets an even better solution for their challenge, while we can offer these machines at an exceptionally competitive price. We are talking about well-maintained, technically sound machines that deserve a second life.
