Introduction
Fruit and Vegetable sorting machine play an increasingly important role in modern fruit processing. But what is the function of sorting machine? It not only improves fruit processing efficiency but also significantly enhances product quality and market competitiveness. Through mechanized and standardized fruit sorting, fruit farmers, fruit processing companies, and traders can achieve higher value across multiple processes.
What is the function of sorting machine?
1. Improving the Overall Value of Fruit
Different grades of fruit have different market positioning and sales prices. Through grading, fruit with good appearance and uniform size can be classified as high-end fruit, increasing the unit sales price. Fruit that does not meet high-end requirements can be processed into other channels (such as juicing and jam making), fully utilizing resources.
2. Improved Production Efficiency and Consistency
Compared to manual sorting, mechanical grading is faster and more efficient, making it suitable for large-scale production. Furthermore, machine grading offers high consistency, eliminating the issues of inconsistent manual judgment and ensuring consistent product appearance and quality.
3. Meeting the needs of different markets or customers
Different countries, supermarkets, and wholesalers have varying requirements for fruit specifications, such as size, weight, and color. After grading, fruit can be packaged according to specific needs, enhancing the professionalism and targeted nature of export or sales.
4. Easier packaging and transportation
Fruits of the same size are packaged more neatly, reducing damage during transportation and improving transportation efficiency and loading density.
Common Fruit Grading Methods
Currently, there are two common methods used in fruit grading equipment: size grading and weight grading.
1. Size Grading Machine
Size grading primarily sorts fruit based on diameter or volume. It is generally suitable for spherical or oval fruits such as apples, oranges, kiwis, and blueberries. Grading equipment uses a series of gradually widening rollers or conveyor belts to automatically sort fruit of different sizes into different outlets.
Weight grading uses a weighing system to determine the weight of each fruit and automatically assigns it to the appropriate sorting lane. This machine is suitable for markets with specific weight requirements, such as export trade and premium fruit sales.
