TOMRA Sorting Foods' Nimbus meat sorting machine is suitable for sorting various meats including bacon bits, beef jerky and individually quick frozen (IQF) meat, which is often used in salads and other dishes or as food toppings by consumers.

The sorter has been specifically designed for the meat industry as a sanitary version that is easy to clean, ensuring there are no hidden parts which meat could stick to. The sorter has an open frame design, including a special mount for optics, to prevent bacteria growth.

The machine uses a feed shaker, over which the product is spread uniformly, so a single layer progresses onto the free-fall chute. It then falls towards the inspection zone and is spread out by gravitation where it is then scanned by lasers. It detects and rejects foreign material, including bones, plastics, wood, aluminium, paper, metal pieces and burned pieces.

The Smart Sort module helps the operator to set parameters by analysing the incoming meat products. It automatically provides a program set-up that can subsequently be adjusted by the operator.
