How the Apple Colour Sorter & Weight Machine works
Buyers pay more for apples that match in both size and colour, and hand-sorting for two variables at once is slow and inconsistent. This machine checks each apple individually with cameras and sensors, reading colour and weight together, then routes red, green, and mixed-colour fruit, sized correctly, to their own outputs in a single pass.
Key features of the Apple Colour Sorter & Weight Machine.
Apple Colour Sorter & Weight Machine FAQs.
How does the machine tell colours apart?
Cameras and sensors scan each apple as it passes, reading colour and weight together before the sorting mechanism routes it to the matching output.
Can it separate more than just red and green?
It handles red, green, and mixed-colour fruit as three separate outputs in the same pass, no manual re-sorting after.
Is this worth it over a standard grading machine for most packhouses?
It's aimed at operations selling into premium or export markets where colour-and-size uniformity directly affects price. For local mandi sales, a standard grading line is usually enough.
Does it need a technician on-site to operate?
Day-to-day operation is straightforward for a trained shed worker; we handle setup and calibration during installation.
How accurate is the sizing alongside the colour sorting?
Weight sensing runs simultaneously with the colour read, so size accuracy isn't traded off for the added colour detection.
