KIIS BARASHO: TOMRA WAXAY KA CAAWINAYSAA HAWSHA BATADA EE BELGIUM SI AY U KOR U QAADO WAX SOO SAARKA

From Belgium, Van Roey and Zonen explain how TOMRA has helped its potato and onion sorting business to reduce expenditure and boost productivity. They were seeking for an optical sorting solution, trying to meet the customers’ strict requirements and to reduce the accompanying workload. 

Van Roey iyo Zonen oo la aasaasay 1924, ayaa koray si ay u noqdaan ganacsi qoys oo dhab ah, kaas oo laba jiil ay ka shaqeeyaan sidii ay u gaari lahaayeen tayada ugu fiican.

Van Roey iyo Zonen waa ganacsi qoys oo ku takhasusay kala soocidda iyo xidhitaanka baradhada iyo basasha. Shirkaddu waxay si gaar ah diiradda u saartaa Bintjes iyo baradhada kale ee shaciirka leh, sida Nicola iyo Charlotte. Waxay baradhada si toos ah uga soo ururiyaan beerta waxayna maamulaan kaydintooda sanduuqyada taasoo u sahlaysa inay si dhow ula socdaan habka oo dhan. Badeecadaha baradhada ee ay soo saaraan badanaa waa la dhaqaa oo la kala saaraa waxaana lagu xidhaa cabbirro u dhexeeya 2.5 kg ilaa 25 kg.

Jeff Van Roey, oo ah madaxa shirkadda ayaa yiri: "Waxaan nahay ganacsi qoys, taasina waxay keentay inaan si degdeg ah uga jawaabno oo aan si dhakhso ah u beddelno dalabaadka. Maadaama aan shaqeyneynay sannado badan, waxaan naqaannaa tayada alaabtayada gudaha, taas oo ah faa'iido dhab ah."
Bilowgii, shirkaddu waxay bixin jirtay suuqyo jumlad ah waxayna sidoo kale ku lug lahayd bixinta maraakiibta. Maalmahan, waxay inta badan u adeegtaa suuqyada waaweyn iyo jumladleyda, kuwaas oo iyaguna siiya suuqyada waaweyn iyo/ama makhaayadaha.

Jef Van Roey explains: “Six years ago we discovered TOMRA, at that time, we were already using an optical sorting machine, but it had become outdated and could no longer cope with customers’ requirements. The demand is for the potatoes to be more and more attractive, with fewer small blemishes. Also, the size of the potato in the bag must be almost uniform for the consumer. That’s why we decided to look for a new optical sorting machine which could simplify our work, enable us to work more quickly and make the financial picture more attractive.”

Before the business decided to join forces with TOMRA, it consulted with other organizations within the industry, who also recommended a TOMRA mashiinka.

The processors also add that the previous machine only enabled them to sort according to color, but they mentioned that the new solution from TOMRA delivers much better sorting results on the table and greater still in terms of color sorting. Furthermore, they can now sort in three ways: the dark green and heavily damaged potatoes are processed into cattle feed, the light green potatoes, which feature minimal damage are processed into products such as flour, and the best potatoes are now of even better quality – perfect for the table.

Nathalie Van Roey provides an explanation of the installation of the machine: “As part of the installation process, TOMRA provides a two-day training course. Following that we were given a few weeks to practice, before TOMRA returned to provide additional training, or to answer any questions.

Waxay sidoo kale ku qanacsan yihiin in mashiinku uusan buuxin meel badan. Jeff wuxuu sharxayaa: "Meel badan ma haysanno; si kastaba ha ahaatee, mashiinku waa mid aad u yar sidaa darteed uma baahnin inaan sameyno isbeddello badan."

Rakibaadda waxay saameyn wanaagsan ku yeelatay natiijooyinka dhaqaale ee Van Roey. Sida laga soo xigtay Jeff: "Hawsha wax soo saarkeena waa la fududeeyay, awooddeenna way labanlaabmeen, shaqada gacanta ee hartayna aad bay u fududaatay. Waagii hore, waxaan farsameyn jirnay inta u dhaxaysa toddobo ilaa toban tan oo baradho ah saacaddii. Mashiinka kala soocidda cusub, si fudud ayaan u maarayn karnaa labanlaab taas."
