ADR X combines more than 40 years of proven expertise in automatic defect removal with an entirely new generation of technology. Building on a global installed base of more than 300 ADR systems, ADR X introduces a redesigned multispectral optical architecture with multi-channel cameras and advanced LED illumination for superior visibility of both product and defects.

Its entirely new mechanical and hygienic design is engineered for high uptime, consistent sorting performance and proven high-capacity operation in continuous industrial production. Automatic adjustment of settings based on product recipes reduces manual intervention, while simplified maintenance and an intuitive user interface optimize daily operation.

By precisely removing defects while retaining as much good product as possible, ADR X helps maximize total yield and reduce food loss. Its EHEDG-based hygienic design, integrated cleaning capabilities and compact plug-and-play construction support efficient and sustainable production. In addition, its future-proof architecture is designed for compatibility with future technological upgrades.

ADR X combines the confidence of proven technology with the performance, automation and flexibility required for the future of potato processing.

Briefly describe what is NEW. This explanation will be submitted to the expert group and will be decisive in the evaluation and selection of the most newsworthy entries. (max. textarea: 600 characters)
ADR X introduces a redesigned multispectral optical architecture with multi-channel cameras and advanced LED illumination, providing superior visibility of both product and defects. An entirely new mechanical and hygienic design increases capacity, reliability and ease of maintenance. When a product recipe is selected, ADR X automatically adjusts product conveying, alignment and positioning settings, reducing the need for manual adjustments and delivering more consistent sorting performance.

Added value for the user (in commercial terms, user-friendliness ...)
ADR X provides potato processors with high uptime and consistent sorting performance, with proven results at high capacities and in continuous production. Product recipes automatically adjust settings, reducing the need for manual adjustments. The new design minimizes the impact of belt contamination and degradation and simplifies maintenance. As part of a complete potato processing line solution, ADR X contributes to maximizing overall yield and productivity.

Added value for the further sustainability and professionalization of the potato sector.
ADR X supports more sustainable potato processing by maximizing the value of every potato: targeted defect removal retains as much good product as possible and reduces food loss. Advanced detection helps manage variations in crop quality and reduces the need for pre-sorting. Its EHEDG-based design supports efficient hygiene, while the compact footprint simplifies transport and installation. The future-proof architecture is also designed to accommodate future technological upgrades.
