Upgraded Sorting Machine Offers Increased Capacity

TOMRA Sorting Solutions launched an upgrade to the TOMRA COM XRT, which features higher belt speed and design capacity, and better accessibility over the previous version, the company reported. Key improvements of the upgraded design include increased wear resistance and component lifetime, with increased mean time between failure.
The mechanical platform of the TOMRA COM XRT 2.0 was redesigned for safer, simpler, quicker and more ergonomic maintenance, by providing easier access to all relevant components, the company reported.
The belt speed was upped from 2.7 to 3.5 m per second; and the upgrade features a more powerful X-ray system. With higher levels of belt occupancy, facilitated by improved data processing, the particle size of the feed can also be increased, thereby raising the machine’s capacity and creating a new industry benchmark, the company reported.
Depending on the material, the TOMRA COM XRT 2.0 can accommodate up to double the maximum size of the previous TOMRA
model, from 60 mm up to 125 mm.
