Why choose 3MS Bowl Sorting Line with water unloading

  • Efficiency in numbers:
    The 3MS sorting line with water discharge enables automatic, continuous sorting of large batches of products, with highly reproducible results and minimal operator intervention. The 3MS sorting machine achieves throughput of up to approximately 6 tons per hour (depending on the product type). Precise product dosing into pans and electronic parameter control allow for optimal utilization of the line's capacity.
  • Versatility of operation:
    The 3MS sorting line is incredibly versatile, capable of sorting various fruit and vegetable species across a wide range of diameters (from approximately 50 to 130 mm), combining classification by weight, size, color, and damage. Programmable settings allow operators to quickly adjust sorting criteria to match the current product and customer requirements.
  • Prospects for further development:
    The 3MS machine and the entire line are designed in a modular manner, facilitating gradual expansion. Users can start with a basic configuration and add additional modules and features as production increases or business changes:
    • additional packing tables,
    • box pallet fillers,
    • presorting lines,
    • automatic packaging and palletizing modules.
  • Expansion options include:
    • Pre-sorting line – pre-sorting according to selected parameters (e.g. size or weight), which is crucial for high product variability and high volumes.
    • Palletization – dedicated solutions for automatic stacking of packaging on pallets, which improve internal logistics.
    • Individual packaging – integration of packaging systems into smaller unit packages (e.g. trays, bags, cartons), which facilitates direct service to retail chains.

    Each of these options allows you to tailor the 3MS line to the current needs of your plant, while also providing the opportunity for development in subsequent stages.
