CITRUS SORTING
We design and implement modern citrus sorting lines that automate the process of classifying, packaging, and quality control of fruit.
Line to Citrus Sorting
- Expert in citrus sorting and fruit and vegetable technologies We are a Polish manufacturer of advanced sorting lines for citrus and other fruits and vegetables. We design and implement electronic sorting machines (sorters) that combine high precision with gentle fruit handling to ensure consistent batch quality and continuous reliability in modern packing and processing plants.
- Advanced weighing systems and intelligent vision analysisOur lines utilize a tensometric weighing system and a modern vision system. This allows citrus fruits to be graded in real time according to key parameters: weight, diameter/size, color, and external quality, with optional internal grading. Intuitive settings shorten changeovers and facilitate adaptation to local and export market requirements.
- We build solutions for growers, packers, and exporters. Modular design and scalability allow for expansion of the installation with automatic unloading, packing tables, fillers, a Class II conveyor, and palletizing. This results in a line tailored to the process, with full quality control and maximum operational efficiency—ready for seasonal peaks and growing volumes.
Classification and sorting citrus
We are a Polish manufacturer comprehensive citrus sorting lines, created with precise grading, high yields and gentle fruit handling in mind. Our electronic sorting machines for citrus fruits can be equipped with tensometric weighing system and advanced vision system, which allows you to sort citrus fruits according to parameters such as mass, size, color, external quality and — in extended configurations — internal quality.
Weight - real-time measurement accuracy
In lines equipped with a strain gauge weighing system, electronic sensors with digital filtering and noise reduction measure the weight of each citrus fruit in real time, stabilizing readings and facilitating order picking for specific weight classes. This is the heart of a professional sorter in applications where weight is a key commercial criterion.
Size – precise calibration of diameter and shape
Citrus fruit is classified by size based on a series of photos and shape analysis. Vision system algorithms precisely distinguish between sizes, ensuring batch uniformity and consistent packaging appearance.
Color – control of color and blush
Industrial cameras analyze the degree of color development and uniformity of the peel (including the intensity of orange/yellow tones and green blooms). Grading thresholds can be easily adjusted to meet local and export market requirements. The citrus sorter maintains consistent color assessment even under varying lighting conditions.
Quality – commercial vs. industrial selection
The vision system inspects the surface of each fruit, detecting typical external defects (e.g., skin blemishes, abrasions, oil stains, deformations) and—in advanced configurations—indicators of internal defects. This allows for the reliable separation of commercial and industrial citrus fruits and the creation of quality subclasses for specific contracts.
Selecting a solution to scale and process
Mono Line compact single-track
MONO machine is a compact and professional solution designed for small and medium-sized farms. Designed for sorting spherical fruits and vegetables with a diameter of 40 to 100 mm, such as apples, tomatoes, citrus fruits, apricots, peaches.
The device achieves a performance of up to 18,000 pieces per hour and enables precise sorting by size and color. Thanks to the use of a vision system, the machine ensures the highest precision of classification in real time.
MONO machine offers flexibility in the unloading method and ensures smooth and safe transport of fruit without the risk of damage.
The line is equipped with a 6-meter-long buffer channel, a modern dryer with a three-stage filtration system, a V-type conveyor and ergonomic output tables.
• Application: precise sorting based on a vision system, with an emphasis on gentle product flow.
• Unloading: aqueous or dry.
• Advantages: compact size, high repeatability, excellent performance to space ratio.
The fault line for large volumes and full automation
CUP Bowl Machine is a modern, universal solution for precise sorting of fresh fruit and vegetables. It gently transports products with a diameter 50–130 mm such as apples, tomatoes, citrus fruits, pears, peaches, apricots.
The line can have from 2 to 6 tracks and reach up to 2.5 t/h per path, and sorting is done in real time according to size, color, weight and quality, which ensures high accuracy and efficiency. The bowl machine can be easily expanded with a water unloading system,unloading operations and devices packaging and palletizing.
Different types of media – standard or oblong bowls – they also handle products with non-standard shapes, such as zucchini, cucumbers, and eggplants. They're the perfect choice for producers looking for an efficient, reliable, and precise sorting system.
RDS – Roller Dump Sorting Machine – compact dimensions, impressive performance
RDS is a compact, high-speed sorting machine for spherical fruits and vegetables. The innovative integrated roller system guides the product continuously, without transferring between segments during measurement. This track significantly reduces bruising and allows for a shorter line than in bowl machines with the same number of outputs. RDS It is available in two variants: with water unloading (immersion unloading + water channels + drying) and with dry unloading (tipper + expansion conveyor), which makes it easy to adapt it to the hall and the type of raw material.
