How Are Baby Carrots REALLY Made in Factories?

Baby carrot processing line – Delivering fresh quality at its best

At our customer Topfresh, imperator carrots are transformed into uniform, ready-to-eat baby carrots through a carefully controlled, multi-step process. Each phase of the line is designed to ensure optimal product quality, efficiency, and food safety.

From raw carrot to baby carrot – step by step
The process begins with third-party machines handling the initial input:
Receiving – Freshly harvested imperator carrots arrive at the facility.
Destoning & washing – Stones and soil are removed; the carrots are thoroughly cleaned.
Pre-inspection – An initial check removes damaged or unsuitable produce.

The carrots then enter the first stage: the Sormac preparation line:
First grading – Carrots are sorted by size to ensure uniform processing.
Cutting – Oversized carrots are cut to pre-defined baby carrot lengths.
Drum sorting – Pieces are separated by diameter for consistent peeling.
Second grading – A final size check ensures product uniformity.

Next is the second stage: the Sormac processing line, where the transformation is completed:
Supplying – Carrots are evenly distributed to the peeling machines.
Peeling & polishing – Outer layers are removed, and the surface is gently polished for a smooth finish.
Optical sorting – Defective or misshapen carrots are automatically removed.
Inspection – A manual check ensures only the best products continue.
Hydrocooling – The baby carrots are cooled to preserve freshness and extend shelf life.

Finally, third-party machines handle the end of the process:
Weighing & packaging – The finished baby carrots are portioned and packed, ready for distribution.

End result
Perfectly shaped, smooth baby carrots—fresh, uniform, and ready for market. A process built for quality, efficiency, and consumer satisfaction.
