Tomra Food launches new AI-powered food sorting machine

-

The Tomra 4C with LUCAi is a revolutionary optical sorting machine designed and optimized to increase detection, accuracy, performance, efficiency and flexibility for the nut and IQF industries.  

“The Tomra 4C will allow even more producers, processors and repackers to benefit from the significant developments AI, machine learning and deep learning bring to the food sorting industry. Combined, the technologies help increase detection of foreign materials, product and color defects, ensuring increased food safety and consistency across batches and shifts for optimized resource use and output,” says Harald Henriksen, Executive Vice President and Head of Tomra Food. 

The Tomra 4C is the first Tomra machine to allow packers and processors to run multiple forms of artificial intelligence – including LUCAi Deep Learning and traditional machine learning – in tandem. These are two technologies that, together, offer unmatched adaptability and new opportunities for performance for food sorting operations, allowing customers to quickly adapt to changing operational needs and unlocking consistency when conditions within the product or sort change, setting a new benchmark for performance in the nuts industry. 

“The Tomra 4C delivers serious performance improvements with the ability to achieve a lower than 1% false reject rate (<1% for nuts, and <0.5% for IQF), allowing our customers to set a new benchmark for the industry. This is possible thanks to the excellence in engineering that Tomra is known for combined with AI-powered processing and the latest generation of Pulsed LED sensors.” said Kristof Franckx, Product Manager for the Tomra 4C. “But most importantly, combining easy access and artificial intelligence delivers easy daily use for operators, saving time for operators and keeping the sorting line running at top speed.

The Tomra 4C arrives pre-set and ready to integrate into a new or existing line, delivering unmatched flexibility in the use of artificial intelligence.

“Tomra Food has been driving growth for Tomra Group for the past several quarters. We saw a strong order intake growth of 13% in 2024 and experienced a 15% revenue increase in the second quarter of 2025,” said Harald Henriksen, Executive Vice President and Head of Tomra Food. 

“Our strong financial position combined with our strategic move to become closer to our customers in 2024 has created focus on priority product developments like the Tomra 4C, a machine that serves multiple industries with distinct challenges to solve.” 

Tomra Food began the year 2025 with the release of its pioneering LUCAi deep learning models for oranges, mandarins, and lemons. First launched in 2018, LUCAi is now available for apples, blueberries, cherries, and citrus and has already sold 3,500+ lanes and counting across the globe. New LUCAi applications are in development for release in 2025 and 2026.
