Sorting whole carrots

 

Whether you're processing whole carrots or cut varieties — sliced or diced — our sorting technology ensures a clean, consistent, and high-quality end product.

The Novus belt sorter is designed to detect and remove defects based on shape and color. Crooked carrots, discolorations, or irregular sizes? Novus handles them effortlessly, ensuring only the best make it through. The Ventus laser sorter takes quality control one step further. It’s engineered to identify and eliminate foreign materials such as glass, plastic, or wood — essential for producers who take food safety seriously.
