Fruit Sorting Machine for Juice Lines

Fruit Sorting Machine for Roller Size Grading

The fruit sorting machine uses moving rollers to grade suitable produce by size after washing. It can also support a manual inspection stage where operators remove visibly unsuitable fruit. Mechanical size grading and quality inspection are different functions; the required sorting standard should be defined for the line.

How the Rolling Rail Fruit Sorter Works

Rollers travel along spiral tracks while the gap between adjacent rollers gradually increases. Produce drops through a matching gap into the selected outlet, separating it by approximate size. The source mentions around 1 mm sorting accuracy, but this needs confirmation with representative product samples and a defined measurement method. Gentle handling also depends on fruit condition and conveyor settings.

Fruit Sorting and Grading Applications

Apples, carrots, strawberries, blackberries and onions are examples listed for this machine. Review size range, fragility, shape and the number of required grades before selecting a roller setting. Optional spray devices, reject collection, discharge chutes and waste conveying can be designed for the project. The sorter can feed a crusher or other stage in a fruit juice production line.

Roller Fruit Sorting Machine Features

Rotating rollers move produce forward while increasing gaps separate it into size grades.
A secondary spray rinse can be specified where the process requires it.
The described machine includes a frame, reducer and rollers; confirm stainless-steel grades and product-contact surfaces in the final specification.
Motor protection, oil collection and reject handling options should be specified for the site layout and hygiene plan.

*The original supplier table labels the power unit “KM”; confirm whether these listed values are in kW before using them as a procurement specification. Capacity also depends on product and grading criteria.

Fruit Sorter Operation and Maintenance

Keep the frame level, check fasteners and guards before starting, and prevent tools or stones from entering the roller path. Monitor motor load and temperature during operation. Follow the equipment manual for cleaning, food-contact hygiene and lubrication. The source suggests gearbox oil review every six months and transmission-component lubrication every quarter; verify the actual intervals and lubricant grade for the supplied model.
