About used Cucumber sorting machines

Sorting cucumbers into weight classes has been the international standard for a long time. This is done with electronic weighing bridges and computers which form the heart of the cucumber grader.

Sorting cucumbers to size

More and more buyers demand uniform products resulting in an increase in weight and size sorting. It is worth sorting the cucumbers by size because large cucumbers bring in more money. Cucumbers are sorted by length by means of an optical camera which examines and assesses each cucumber individually. A combination of sorting by weight and size usually gives the most uniform result.

Aweta GS cucumber grader

The Aweta GS is by far the most popular cucumber sorting machine. The Aweta GS is different because the cucumbers are supplied and sorted while laying across the feed direction. This means high capacity can also be obtained at a lower speed. In addition the machine is equipped with turntables so that the cucumbers can be easily and efficiently packed in boxes. There is hardly anywhere on the Aweta GS sorting machine where cucumbers could be damaged. The only critical place, where the cucumbers arrive on the turntable from the transport bin, is protected by a break fall system so that they can be caught and guided further. Cucumbers can be weighed in a range between 50 and 1500 gram with an accuracy of +/- 4 grams. 

Extremely accurate (electronic) weighing is achieved through the use of special sorting trays, patenbted in many countries. These are made in such a form that the shape of the cucumber and its positionon the tray has no influence on the accuracy of the weighing. 

The Aweta GS sorting machine is controlled by a special easy-to-operate computer, specifically develeopd by the firm for that purpose. Changing over to other sorting program demands merely pressure on a button only. A great advantage is the specific weight grade which can be distributed over a maximum of four outlets, whereby the better distribution of work becomes possible. For various forms of sorting, thirty different programs are available, which can be set up in only a few mintues. 

Optimal capacity during sorting

Manufacturers of cucumber grading machines such as Aweta usually supply specifications about the maximum capacity of their machines. The capacity of a standard Aweta GS cucumber sorting machine is between 5,000 and 10,800 cups per hour. While faster machines have a capacity of about 18,000 cups per hour. A constant supply and dosing of cucumbers is necessary to actually reach this capacity. This can only be realised with the help of a good-functioning internal conveyor system in combination with a destacking system.

More and more buyers are placing higher demands on the quality of cucumbers. The quality of cucumbers can be increased by wrapping them before or after the cucumber sorting machine.
