Zetapack fruit sorting and grading machine

The Zetapack sorting and grading machine is suitable for ripe and delicate soft fruit, including varieties such as apricots, persimmons, peaches, pears, nashi pears, nectarines and apples.

The machine works in a circular motion with the fruit positioned on the belt in cups. Using software, an automatic traffic LED signal process can be programmed to indicate fruit that meets the specific size, weight and colour required. When the light signals on the machine, the operator can then select the fruit and move it from the belt and to a specific cell.

If the fruit is not selected, it continues to circulate on the machine and thus the machine can minimise any damage to the delicate fruit during the grading process.

The machine has been designed to reduce energy consumption, using 1 kW of energy per hour for the motor and 0.5 kW for the electrical parts.

Suitable for sorting soft fruit that is currently sorted by hand, the machine can automate the fruit selection process while minimising any damage to the fruit.
