Optical sorting machines

Newtec manufactures optical sorting machines for grading and sorting potatoes and carrots to meet your market demands, quality standards, and pre-set classifications.

For more than twenty years, Newtec has developed and produced optical sorting machines for potatoes and carrots. Our Celox optical sorting machines are unique and world-leading machines in terms of technology and performance.

Both our optical potato sorting machine and carrot sorting machine contain patented technology and are the only machines on the market that can simultaneously grade products by size, shape, and quality — delivering them into up to 16 different categories.

Products can thereby be split in the most suitable way to match orders and optimise earnings. Sorting of special product selections for trays, campaigns or customers are also possible.

We look forward to optimising the value of each of your potatoes and/or carrots by sorting them in the most profitable way.

The optical sorting machines utilize advanced software that can be configured to detect specific defects on different surfaces. As a result, our Celox-P-DUAL-UHD sorting machine for potatoes can sort nearly any potato variety that exists, even as product characteristics change throughout the year. With high-accuracy sorting and grading of potatoes and carrots, our customers can distribute their products as needed

Consequently, the Celox machines bring high value to our customers not only by reducing labor cost, but because they optimise the value of every single potato or carrot by sorting them in the most profitable way, - all while handling the crop very gently.

The Celox optical sorting machine is at the very heart of your production pipeline and consequently must be able to offer your supervisor access to all functions of the optical sorting machine, full information and process monitoring at all times. The machine can be operated directly by the intelligent, yet user-friendly touchscreen interface. In addition, it can also be remotely operated from a web-browser. The machine can thus be remote-controlled from a desktop or laptop PC, tablet PC or smartphone. In-house remote control of the machines is possible simply by connecting the machines to the Local Area Network (LAN), and any number of Celox machines may be controlled from the same browser. Worldwide on-line remote control is supported through secure connections provided by Newtec WebServices.

Newtec's solution offers several key advantages:

• Several machines can be accessed, monitored and even controlled from a single PC from inside a central factory office.
• It's easy: To access the machine's user interface, simply load a browser and enter the local ip-address of the Celox optical sorting machine in the browser's address bar

• All settings and statistics that are available to the machine's daily operator are also accessible to remote operators in real-time.
• Access is usually restricted to machines on the same Local Area Network (LAN). However, if network access is provided through Virtual Private Network (VPN) or through Newtec WebServices, the graphical user-interface can even be accessed through the Internet. This allows easy monitoring of machines on disparate geographical locations.
• Remote support is possible through WebServices. If the operator has a question regarding a specific setting, Newtec's trained service staff will - with your permission - log in to your Celox optical sorting machine, view the machine's settings and offer advice. With your permission, we can even modify and optimise the configuration of your machine.
• For safety reasons, all functions that involve starting and stopping mechanical parts are disabled on remote access points.
