Key Technology Introduces Enhanced Herbert Oculus Optical Sorter for Whole Potatoes

Key Technology, a member of the Duravant family of operating companies, introduces their enhanced Herbert OCULUS optical sorter for whole potatoes at Fruit Logistica hall 6.1 stand A-60.

Ideal for fresh market potatoes or whole potatoes prior to processing, this enhanced system improves performance to better find and remove potatoes with defects. Its superior sorting capabilities help ensure product quality while reducing labor requirements and achieving consistent line capacity despite fluctuations in incoming raw product quality.

With extreme weather impacting the quality and quantity of harvested crops worldwide and labor availability at an all-time low, automating inspection with OCULUS helps customers achieve grade specifications while maximizing yield and profitability,” said Antoine van Bree, President, Key Technology – EMEA and Asia. “Driven by continuous improvement, we upgraded OCULUS to offer our customers a more innovative, effective and reliable solution for the changing market.”
