- 𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘢 𝘸𝘳𝘢𝘱! We blikken met plezier terug op een geslaagde openingsdag van onze nieuwe locatie nabij Eindhoven. De voorganger van Optimum Sorting, het Nederlandse Concept Engineers, is al decennialang een vaste waarde in Eindhoven. Maar de groei van de afgelopen jaren bracht nieuwe uitdagingen met zich mee... Het vorige pand van Optimum Sorting Nederland bood simpelweg niet langer de ruimte die nodig was voor onze ambities. Sinds 1 juli werken en produceren we daarom vanuit een nieuwe locatie, slechts enkele kilometers
- Potatoes take centre stage this autumn, starting with PotatoEurope On 9–10 September, our potato sorting expert Wilfried Rombauts will be in Springe (Germany) at the Optimum Sorting booth. 👋 If you are looking to improve efficiency on your line, this is a conversation worth having. Optimum Sorting offers specialised solutions for sorting potatoes, chips and fries, helping you remove a wide range of defects from your product stream while keeping only the most marketable product. The result? Less waste, more consistent quality
- Summer is behind us. Time to reconnect; face-to-face, where real decisions are made. 🤝🌏 This autumn, the experts of Optimum Sorting are back on the road, meeting customers and partners worldwide to tackle one key question: how can you improve sorting performance? You can meet us at: ✅ CFIA Toulouse (Toulouse, France) | September 22 – 24 ✅ PACK EXPO (Chicago, USA) | October 18 – 21 ✅ Gulfood Manufacturing (Dubai, UAE) | November 3 – 5 ✅ INTERPOM (Kortrijk, Belgium) | November 29 – December 1 ✅ Almond Board of California
- Welcome to the new home of Optimum Sorting Netherlands! Growth creates opportunities, and sometimes it also calls for a little more space. That's why, just before summer, 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗗𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 near Eindhoven. From here, we'll continue designing, building, and testing advanced sorting solutions for food processors throughout the region. 🚀 We're excited about what lies ahead and look forward to 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀
- A potato can look perfectly fine... and still be a problem. 🥔 In potato processing, two of the most critical issues are often invisible: 𝘀𝗼𝗳𝘁 𝗿𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗲. • Soft rot develops internally and turns the flesh moist and unstable • Solanine forms without visible damage, but impacts food safety After washing, both can pass as healthy product. And that’s exactly where things go wrong. Most systems inspect what they can see. But quality issues don’t always start at the surface. With laser sorting, the focus shifts
- Fries? Chips? Mash? 👉 A good day to celebrate them all! Happy National Potato Day! 🥔 🍟 The one ingredient that quietly runs half of the food industry. But let’s be honest: not every potato deserves to make it to the final product. That’s where sorting makes the difference... Behind every consistent batch of fries or chips, there’s technology deciding what passes, what gets rejected and how much product you actually save. With rising quality standards, strict food safety and pressure to reduce waste, sorting has become a key step
- Not every defect in chips is visible to the eye. 𝗪𝗲𝘁 𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗶𝗹 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝘁𝘀 are among the hardest to detect. They result from incomplete frying and directly impact texture, shelf life and overall product consistency. Traditional inspection systems often miss these defects. At Optimum Sorting, we take a different approach. 𝗨𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆, we analyse density and moisture to detect what remains invisible. That means you gain: ✔ More consistent product quality ✔ Fewer customer
