Fruit sorting machines

Fruits have been on our menu for ages, but we've never had access to so many of them. Since quite recently we are able to transport fresh products, like fruits, all over the world. It's hard to imagine a time when this wasn't possible. But there was such a time!

Fruits are one of the most important parts in our diet because they contain vitamins and minerals that we need on a daily basis, but can't get from other foods. They also have carbohydrates which give us energy throughout the day, making fruits perfect for snacking! There are various types of fruits: tropical, temperate and subtropical ones.

However, all these fruits need to be processed before they go to the consumer. Doing this by hand will cost ages, so this is where fruit sorting machines come into place. They can sort fruits by size and color, or even peel them automatically. These machines are made up of a conveyor belt with different sized holes that the fruits have to go through. The ones that don't fit in the hole are removed from the belt while the others continue on their way until they reach the other side where workers will put them into boxes according to their type.

Fruit sorting machines can be part of a whole processing solution. In this case, the fruit sorting machine is part of a big line of machines in which the fruits are being washed, sorted and wrapped up. It all starts with a big water tank where the fruits are put in and then moved to different machines that will do their job. After getting out of the last machine, the fruits will be ready for consumption!

Different of sorting machines

There are many companies that build sorting machines for fruits. Probably the best known are:

1) Aweta

2) Sorma

3) Stas

4) Hermeler

5) Bijlsma & Hercules

Each type of fruit requires their own sorting machine

All fruits are different from each other, and therefore are being sorted on other specifications. Some fruits are being sorting by size, others by color for instance. There are even sorting machines that can differentiate between rotten fruits and good ones. This makes the whole process more efficient, because only the perfect fruit will be packed in boxes.

Since all types of sorting machines have specific specifications, we highly recommend you to first determine the kind of fruits that you want to sort before buying a sorting machine. Determining the right type of sorting machine will save you money and time. Having difficulties choosing the right fruit processing solution for your specific needs? Feel free to contact us!
