Used Apple & Fruit sorting machines

It is important that delicate fruits like apples and pears are not damaged during sorting and processing. It is therefore important to choose a fruit sorting machine that minimises the risk of damage. The fruit sorting machines from Aweta, Greefa and Wamel perfect have been developed to minimise the risk of damage. Many apple sorting machines have brushes by the singulator and the sorting outfeeds to prevent the apples colliding with each other.

Sorting is important to the growers since most profit in the fruit industry is made from selling a uniform product. This uniformity can be achieved by sorting the fruit in a fruit sorting machine. Fruit, such as apples, pears, oranges and citrus fruits, can be sorted by weight, size and/or colour. The newer and more extensive machines can even sort by internal and external quality.

The type of sorting is therefore decisive for the choice of a specific fruit sorting machine. A camera, that scans each apple or pear, sorts by colour and often size while the weight of the fruit is determined by a weighbridge which weighs each cup. Sorting by weight or size can be done mechanically or electrically depending on the type of sorting machine and your budget.

Exactly how the fruit or apple sorting machines work and their specifications depend on the brand, type and version.
