PEELGUARD CONNECT - an example
The Insort Sherlock potato sorter has the well proven Chemical Imaging Technology (CIT) on board, which allows for more than visual inspection and analysis of the potato. By CIT® the chemical constitution of the potato is scanned. Not only visual deviations are recognized, but also internal issues like diseases. Or, in case of the PeelGuard Connect, peel residues. Ton Hendrickx: “If you connect those data to the steam peeler, you create a loop between sorter and peeler. The sorter controls the steam peeler, based on the results after peeling. This loop leads to a higher yield in steam peeling, in line, all the time”.
