SmartSort

 

Quick and accurate

SmartSort sorts tomatoes, citrus and stone fruit very fast and accurate, and does this relatively quiet. High capacity and fruit-friendly treatment are other great advantages of the SmartSort.

 

SmartSort works with a transfer unit fitted with 'hands' which pick up the fruit from the singulator to lower them in the cups. As an option, the transfer unit can be extended to include a weighing device which weighs the fruit piece by piece.

 

SmartSort is composed of various modules. As a result, the unit always allows for future adaptation to any capacity and sorting possibility required. Another advantage of SmartSort is that the conveyor belts can be placed at any position. SmartSort allows for realisation of the optimum set-up within your available production space. For the actual sorting process, you can install various sorting modules on the unit, such as size, colour, weight but also iQS and iFD.

 

Perfect for iQS

The SmartSort is designed after experience with iQS technology. Experience with automatic quality sorting revealed that it was important to separate the labeller from the measurement traject. Otherwise labels can be ‘seen’ as a defect. Greefa has intercepted this problem by working with a new designed machine concept where the fruits are transferred from the singulator into the transport carriers by a unique transfer unit. In this way, preventing ‘pollution’ from your labels on your measurement traject.
