About second-hand Apple & Fruit sorting machines

For fruit, such as apples and pears, it is important that these delicate products are not damaged during sorting and processing.  It is therefore essential to choose a fruit sorting machine that minimizes the risk of damage. For this reason, fruit sorting machines from Aweta, Greefa, and Wamel Perfect are designed to reduce the likelihood of bruising. Many fruit and apple sorting machines are equipped with brushes at the singulator and sorting outlets to prevent apples from colliding.

On this page, you will find all the fruit sorting machines that Duijndam Machines currently has in stock. Below, you can read more information about these machines. Do you still have questions? Feel free to contact us so we can personally advise you.

Fruit Sorting Machines

Sorting is important for growers, as the highest return on sold fruit is achieved with a uniform product. This consistent quality can be achieved by sorting the fruit using a fruit sorting machine. Fruit such as apples, pears, oranges, and citrus can be sorted in various ways: by weight, size, and/or color.

Optical Sorting Machines

Optical sorting machines sort the fruit based on visual observation using camera systems. In newer and more advanced machines, it is even possible to sort based on internal quality.

Weight Sorting Machines

Weight sorting machines sort fruit based on their weight. These machines do not take the visual quality of the fruit into account. If visual quality is important in addition to weight, you can supplement the sorting machine with a reading belt where the products can be "read."

Sorting by Size

Another commonly used method is sorting by size. Fruit sorting machines that sort by size typically sort the fruit from small to large, where the smallest items end up in the first collection bins and the largest are collected at the end.

Which fruit sorting machine is most suitable for you depends on various factors such as the type of fruit you want to sort, your budget, and the required capacity. Our staff will gladly provide you with more information about the specifications of any of the above-mentioned fruit sorting machines.

Apple Sorting Machine

As mentioned earlier, it is crucial for the consumer market that products are uniform and free from imperfections—this certainly applies to apples. To add value to your harvest, sorting your apples is essential. Apple sorting machines sort apples—and often also pears—by weight or color, and in modern machines sometimes even by internal/external quality.

It is important to choose a sorting machine that is suitable for the type of fruit you want to process. Because fruit is delicate, sorting machines are often customized to prevent bruising. Many apple sorting machines can also sort pears or citrus fruit due to their similarities, but make sure to check compatibility before purchasing.

Apple and fruit sorting machines can be supplemented with other machines to form a complete processing line. Think of adding a packaging machine, bin tipper, washing machine, and check weigher to process from bin to packaging in a single line.
