Sorting weight, colour, size

Nature is full of surprises, and misshapen fruit and vegetables is one of them. However, buyers generally require uniform fruit and vegetables of standard size and good quality. That’s why, for many years, we have supplied sorting modules which sort by size, weight and colour, either simultaneously or independent from one another.

Weight

Your fruit and vegetables are weighed by means of a precise 3-point weighing process which is adjustable in increments of 1 gram. The weighing range varies per unit and per product. The same holds for the number of weight groups you can preset.

Relative weight

With Greefa it is also possible to measure the relative weight of your fruit and vegetables. This is a great tool to sort wholeheart out of your potatoes, for example.

Colour

A colour CCD camera system is used to sort your fruit and vegetables by colour. The colour of your entire piece of fruit or vegetable is displayed with this system which is not affected by possible reflections from the fruit. The range of the colour sorting process amounts to 1023 pixels, from green to red. The number of colour groups you can preset varies per product and per unit. Furthermore, it is possible to determine the so-called blush of non-equally coloured fruit (red value percentage compared to the lighter background colour). This will allow you to quantify the external added value of your fruit.

Size

Infrared CCD cameras are used for sorting by size. An option is to combine the camera measurement with electronic sorting by colour and/or weight. Sorting by size is adjustable in increments of 0.1 mm. The range of the size sorting process varies per product. The number of measuring groups you can adjust on the unit depends on the product and the sorting unit type.

Length

The size sorting module also allows for selection of short and long pieces of fruit of the same diameter. This sorting by length is done in millimetres or as a proportion in relation to the diameter.

Curvature

The QSort is especially designed to measure the curvature of your cucumbers, aubergines and courgettes.
