Working Principle
· Fruit is lifted via the elevator feeding system
· Product is evenly distributed through a V-shaped conveyor belt
· Items enter the circular rotary platform for spacing control
· Each unit is dynamically weighed during movement
· The control system assigns weight classification in real time
· Products are discharged into corresponding grading outlets
Key Features
· Circular rotary grading system with continuous product flow.
· V-shaped belt feeding section for controlled product alignment prior to weighing.
· 37-cup rotary weighing module for continuous in-motion sequential weighing.
· Electromagnetic discharge switching system for weight-class outlet separation.
· Compact circular frame design for reduced installation footprint.
· SUS304 stainless steel structure with corrosion-resistant finish.
· PLC control system with HMI interface for operational parameter adjustment.
Application Scope
The system is suitable for weight grading of:
· Apples
· Peaches
· Nectarines
· Plums
· Citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, mandarins)
· Pomegranates
Typical application environments:
· Small fruit packing facilities
· Orchard post-harvest processing units
· Regional distribution sorting centers
· Budget-constrained grading operations
· Space-limited production workshops
