How the Pear Grading Machine works
Pears bruise faster than most fruit passing through a grading line, so speed has to be traded for gentler handling. This machine uses soft belts and rollers rather than a rigid bed, sorting fruit by size at a pace that still clears a full harvest without leaving marks that would drop it out of the top grade.
Key features of the Pear Grading Machine.
Pear Grading Machine FAQs.
Why does pear grading need a different setup than apples or oranges?
Pears mark far more easily, so the belts and rollers here are softer than on a standard fruit line, a deliberate trade-off for fruit condition over raw speed.
How many operators does it need?
One or two people can run a full grading session, well under what hand-sorting the same volume would take.
Is it suitable for a small orchard operation, or only large packhouses?
It scales both ways. The same line works for a small orchard's seasonal harvest and a full packhouse's daily volume.
Can the same machine grade other soft fruit?
Yes. The roller spacing adjusts to fruit size rather than to one specific fruit, so apples and other similar-sized soft fruit run on the same setup. Tell us what else you plan to run and we'll set the spacing range to cover it.
How many size grades can we get out of it?
Between 4 and 8 bands, set to whatever your buyers ask for. More bands means a longer line, so it's worth picking based on the grading standard you actually sell against.
