Tong Engineering Ltd is one of the world's leading manufacturers of high quality vegetable grading and handling equipment. We have over 90 years of experience in manufacturing advanced and intelligent handling systems for efficient grading, washing, polishing and processing of a wide variety of crop.There is growing 'desire' in the market place for crop quality assurance systems both from growers and processors, but for growers in particular, currently available system costs are prohibitive.We aim to develop a versatile, low cost quality assurance system that utilises the latest Artificial Intelligence software and conveyor handling technology. We aim to combine this with new designs of mechanical sorting hardware to create a reliable, low cost sorting system. We also want the system to be quickly and easily re-deployed for other vegetables such as potatoes, onions, carrots, parsnips, swede and beetroot.The system will be used to deflect foreign objects and vegetables with defects away from 'good' crop. These systems can be deployed at the farmer's store or in the processor's 'goods in yard' or in the processing factory to assess crop quality.We aim to lower the capital cost of such systems and improve their versatility so they can be re-deployed on other root crops quickly and easily.

Tong Engineering Ltd是全球领先的蔬菜分级和处理设备的领先制造商之一。我们在制造高级和智能处理系统方面拥有超过90年的经验，用于有效的分级，洗涤，抛光和处理各种农作物。在市场的市场中，人们对种植者和处理器的农作物质量保证系统的“愿望”增长，但对于种植者而言，对于当前可用的系统成本而言，当前可用的系统成本是艰难的。我们旨在发展一种技术质量的人工技能和最新的人工技能。我们的目标是将其与机械分类硬件的新设计相结合，以创建一个可靠的低成本分类系统。我们还希望该系统能够快速，轻松地重新部署用于其他蔬菜，例如土豆，洋葱，胡萝卜，欧洲防风草，瑞典语和甜菜根。这些系统可以在农民的商店或处理器的“院子里”或加工厂的处理工厂中部署，以评估作物质量。我们的目标是降低此类系统的资本成本并改善其多功能性，以便可以快速，轻松地将其重新部署在其他根作物上。
