Laxmi - Optical Sorting Machines
Newtec manufactures optical sorting machines for the type of potato that will work in your market and live up to your quality standards and pre-set classifications.
For more than twenty years, Newtec has developed and produced optical sorting machines for potatoes and carrots. Our Celox optical sorting machines are unique and world-leading machines in terms of technology and performance.
Our Celox contains patented technology and is the only machine on the market which can simultaneously grade products in both size, shape and quality - and then deliver the products in up to 14 different categories.
Products can thereby be split in the most suitable way to match orders and optimise earnings. Sorting of special product selections for trays, campaigns or customers are also possible.
We look forward to optimising the value of each of your potatoes and/or carrots by sorting them in the most profitable way.

- Intelligent software.
- Newtec in control.
- Secure remote access in real-time.
- Complete overview of settings.
- Accurate control of sizes.
- Production line integration.
Research and development:
- We work in close cooperation with national and international researchers, scientists, universities and PhD students to identify new developments and insights that have the potential to transform the whole industry tomorrow.
- Newtec is an active partner in the Open Science network.
- Our software is adapted to the crop type that the machine is made for. The Celox machines use intelligent software which can be configured to detect specific defects on different surfaces. This means, for instance, that our Celox-P-UHD can sort almost any potato variety, taking into consideration that products tend to change during the season.
- Consequently, the Celox machines bring high value to our customers not only by reducing labor cost, but because they optimise the value of every single potato or carrot by sorting them in the most profitable way, - all while handling the crop very gently..
Newtec software:
- Intuitive interface for configuring products by quality, size and shape.
- Web-based user interface for convenient accessibility.
- PLC connectivity for line integration.
This means that Newtec controls the entire process and that all service and support is backed up directly from Newtec.
It`s easy: To access the machine`s user interface, simply load a browser and enter the local ip-address of the Celox optical sorting machine in the browser`s address bar.
Access is usually restricted to machines on the same Local Area Network (LAN). However, if network access is provided through Virtual Private Network (VPN) or through Newtec WebServices, the graphical user-interface can even be accessed through the Internet. This allows easy monitoring of machines on disparate geographical locations.
The user interface provides a comprehensive yet easy-to-understand overview of machine speed, product classes and their allocations to outlets. It also shows the amount of products going to each class, allowing the operator to quickly assess if each class receives sufficient products or if sorting settings need optimisation. In addition, essential criteria for size-sorting are visible and accessible at a glance..
Criteria for size-sorting can be entered with 1 mm precision which permits configuration of very narrowly defined rules for product length, diameter, etc. Criteria can be specified individually for each class, permitting special-selection classes..
The Celox machine also supports seamless production line integration through industry-standard communications interfaces such as Modbus-TCP and Open Platform Communications (OPC). These interfaces are widely supported by the modern industrial PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) which are today integrated in most production lines. This allows automation of routine tasks such as configuring sorting parameters for quality, size and shape sorting..
- Quality, size and shape sorting in one machine.
- Accurate selection of high-value products.
- Gentle product handling.
- Reduced labour costs.
- Consistent quality output for raw product optimisation.
- WebServices enabled for capturing of complete product information and remote servicing.
