About second-hand machines for Kiwis

Kiwi fruit, primarily grown in Italy, New Zealand, and Chile, is a delicate fruit that requires careful handling. Generally, kiwis are sorted at the same location where they are grown. However, once they arrive in the country of sale, they often require further processing, such as weighing, resorting, and repackaging. To handle these vulnerable fruits with proper care, it is essential to choose machines suitable for processing kiwis.

On this page, you will find an overview of our range of used machines suitable for kiwis.

KIWI SORTING MACHINE

As mentioned earlier, kiwis are vulnerable and can easily get damaged, rendering them unsellable during the sorting process. Fortunately, many fruit sorting and packaging machines are specially designed to meet this requirement. These machines sort kiwis based on weight and/or size, and possibly also by quality. Sorting is usually carried out in the country where the kiwis are grown, by growers or a cooperative. After sorting, the best kiwis are ready to be exported worldwide.

KIWI PACKAGING MACHINE

Once kiwis arrive in Europe, a portion of them is repackaged into small packages suitable for retail, meeting the requirements of supermarkets and consumers. Packaging materials used may include cardboard trays for 4 pieces or containers with a weight of, for example, 1 kg. Different types of packaging may require the use of various packaging machines.
