About second-hand Apple & Fruit sorting machines

Therefore, it is important to choose a fruit sorting machine that minimizes the risk of damage.

Many fruit and apple sorting machines are equipped with brushes at the singulator and sorting exits to prevent apples from colliding.

Fruit Sorting Machines

Sorting is essential for growers because the most profit from selling fruit is achieved with a uniform product. This consistent product can be achieved by sorting fruit using a fruit sorting machine. Fruits such as apples, pears, oranges, and citrus fruits can be sorted by weight, size, and/or color. In newer and more advanced machines, it is even possible to sort based on internal and external quality.

Therefore, the sorting method is crucial when choosing a specific fruit sorter. Sorting by color and often size is done using a camera that scans each apple or pear, while the weight of the fruit is determined by a weighbridge that weighs each cup. Depending on the type of fruit or apple sorter and your budget, sorting by weight or size can be mechanically executed.

The exact operation and specifications of these used fruit or apple sorters depend on the brand, type, and model. Our staff would be happy to provide you with more information on the specifications of any of the following Greefa, Aweta, Stas, Compac, MAF, Schoemans, and Wamel Perfect fruit sorting machines.

Apple Sorting Machines

As mentioned, it is crucial for the consumer market that products are uniform and free of defects. Sorting your apples is, therefore, essential to add extra value to your harvest. Apple sorting machines sort apples, and often pears as well, by weight or color, and in modern machines, sometimes by internal/external quality. When selecting a sorting machine, it's important to choose one that is suitable for the fruits you want to process. Since fruits are delicate, sorting machines are often customized to prevent fruit damage. Many apple sorting machines can also sort pears or citrus fruits due to their similarities, but be sure to check for compatibility when making a purchase.

Apple and fruit sorting machines can be complemented with other machines to create a complete processing line. This can include adding a packaging machine, crate tipper, washing machine, and checkweigher to process from crate to packaging in a single line.

Fruit Transport Systems

In addition to complete sorting systems for fruit and apples, at Duijndam Machines, we also sell individual transport systems such as conveyors and elevators. These transport systems can complement or modify your existing sorting line to meet new needs or replace old equipment.

Used fruit transport systems have the advantage of being considerably cheaper than new ones while still having many years of service life. For an overview of all our conveyor belts, please visit here.

Crate Fillers and Tippers for Fruit

Apples and many other fruits are often stored in crates after being harvested. Crate fillers efficiently load them into crates, but before sorting, the fruit needs to be removed from the crates. This is where crate tippers come in. They tilt the crate, allowing the fruit to roll onto the sorting conveyor. A crate tipper can also immerse the fruit in a bath for washing before the sorting process begins.
