Our products improve profitability and protect the customer’s reputation by ensuring highquality and safe food with minimum cost. Our products also truly maximize the yield from all types of produce and get it to where it needs to go by directing the food to channels where different food qualities can be utilized. From tomatoes in the field to tomatoes on the shelf, crushed tomatoes in a can,and pureed tomatoes in ketchup,our food sorting solutions make the most of a precious global resource with the least amount of waste.
Our advanced sorting system inspects millions of individual produce pieces per hour, typically recovering 5-10% through higher yields and better utilization.

Mining
TOMRA provides a complete product portfolio for efficient material separation in various mineral and ore applications such as processing of industrial minerals,diamond and gemstone recovery,and metal recovery from slag. With approximately 170 installations worldwide, our sorting solutions for mining help to extend the lifetime of mining
operations, increase the value of the deposit, and reduce overall expenses.
The mining industry consumes 2%-3% of the world’s energy just for crushing and milling – equal to that of global
aviation traffic. Our sensor-based sorters can reduce the volume to be crushed by 15%-40% in specific mines resulting in significant savings.

Our vision is to be a leader within the business streams of reverse vending, compaction, recycling, food, and mining – enabling better utilization of the world’s natural resources.

We aim to help our customers obtain more, use less and reuse resources (better business) and make the planet more sustainable (better environment).
