Potato Optical Sorters
High-speed defect removal and grading for fresh, peeled and processed potatoes.
Overview
Cleaner product, less hand sorting
Precise, high-volume defect detection for washed, peeled, unpeeled, diced, sliced and whole potatoes. Built for industrial processing plants with stainless steel frames, multi-spectral cameras and high-speed ejection, so defects are removed early with minimal waste.
Works with: Russet, red, gold, baby and specialty potatoes.
What the system detects
Surface defects
- Bruising
- Greening

Performance
System throughput
10–40+ tons/hrStandard processing line
50–80+ tons/hrHigh-capacity line, with multi-lane expansion
Accuracy stays consistent under heavy-volume flow, significantly reducing manual sorting.
Line integration
The sorter integrates with:
- Peelers (steam, abrasive or knife)
- Wash lines
- Inspection tables
- Sizers and cutters
- Fry or chip pre-processing equipment
- Packing or freezing lines
Optional reject conveyors keep separate streams for:
- Waste
- Rework
