Specialty Products | TOMRA Sorting Solutions

TOMRA Sorting Raw Materials offers a variety of technologies for high speed sorting of a wide range of Raw Materials e.g. virgin plastics, synthetic rubber, specialty chemicals and pharmaceuticals. The use of camera, laser, infrared or visual spectroscopy and light transmission technologies, or any combination thereof assures detection of defects with high accuracy based on parameters such as color, surface characteristics, chemical composition and shape.

Our devices remove defects, often invisible to the human eye. A team of product specialists are available for all your questions or remarks on quality improvement by sorting. Our test center is equipped to serve our customers with a demonstration on an industrial scale.

TOMRA sorters are designed to handle high volumes of product without any compromise on detection efficiency or good product loss. A multidisciplinary team is ready to customize your sorting solution optically, mechanically, electronically or on a software level, in order to assure the most accurate and efficient set-up.

Our engineers work closely together with our customers in order to define and produce a solution for any specific need. Depending on the nature of the product this can result in a free fall or belt based sorter, equipped with one or more detection units, and consecutive ejection systems. Continuous analysis of your sorting output results in valuable statistical data on the product quality or enables you to steer production parameters upstream. TOMRA Sorting Raw Materials involves a whole team of product and technology experts, standing by to develop in partnership solutions for your specific needs, and turns “Risk into Reliability”.

With more than 20 years of experience in the tobacco industry, BEST, now part of the TOMRA Sorting Solutions group, has always provided innovative technology for the efficient removal of NTRM. Working in close collaboration with our extensive customer and partner base, BEST is ever more committed to continuing to develop its range of sorting technologies and equipment; striving to assist in the production of a higher quality product.

Through dedicated R&D, we became the leader in sensor-based sorting solutions; not only in the tobacco industry, but also serving markets such as food, mining and recycling. We have developed a vast array of sensor technologies, high speed image and data processing systems, many of them proprietary. In the quest to obtain product monolayer, we can inspect the product in free fall, on belt, in flight or even in an air stream. Different rejection systems have been developed, many of them dedicated to a specific sorting task. Thus combining all of these technologies gives BEST the ability to provide the most suitable, cost effective, advanced sorting solution for the efficient removal of NTRM from un-threshed leaves to final tobacco product.

As TOMRA Sorting Tobacco, working with you as partners, our equipment portfolio –customized for the specific product or field of application will substantially contribute to the relentless focus within the tobacco industry to deliver an un-contaminated product. Thus adding value to the product integrity, hygiene as well as reducing your environmental impact through the avoidance of possible manufacturing waste in the widest sense of the word.
