How to choose a proper fruit sorting machine?

Choosing the right fruit sorting machine depends on several key factors:

• Fruit Type: Different fruits require different handling due to their size, shape, and fragility. For example, citrus fruits may need rollers, while berries need gentler conveyors.

• Sorting Method: Decide what you want to sort by—size, color, weight, or defect detection. Optical sorting with AI vision is ideal for color and defect sorting; mechanical or weight-based systems suit size and weight grading.

• Capacity Requirements: Estimate your daily or hourly processing volume. Machines range from small units (hundreds of kg/hour) to industrial lines (10+ tons/hour).

• Automation Level: Consider whether you need a semi-automatic or fully automatic system. Fully automated machines improve efficiency and reduce labor costs but may require a higher investment.

• Integration Compatibility: If part of a larger line, ensure the sorter integrates smoothly with upstream and downstream equipment (e.g., washers, packers).

For best results, consult with a solution provider like KAAE, who can customize a machine based on your fruit type, factory layout, and production goals.
