Water sorting line

Line Water Department

The Presort Line is a comprehensive solution for automatic unloading, sorting, and reloading of fruit into crates. Thanks to the use of modern vision systems, modern automation systems and high precision of operation, the presort line significantly increases the efficiency of fruit processing in fruit farms and distribution centers.

The system enables gentle treatment of fruit, ensuring the highest quality during transport and sorting. The fully automated process eliminates human error and minimizes product losses, which translates into saving time and operating costs.

A large industrial facility with conveyor belts sorting apples. The apples are spread across multiple belts, and machinery is visible in the foreground. Overhead lights illuminate the clean, organised space.
Rows of apples are washed and sorted by an automated machine with metal tines at the processing plant. The apples are wetted and prepared for packaging or further processing.

Main Features and Functions

  • Gentle and automated fruit unloading
  • Advanced and precise sorting
  • High performance and operational efficiency
  • Modern control and resource saving

The water unloading system ensures smooth and safe fruit transport, minimizing the risk of mechanical damage. Automatic robots eliminate the need for manual crate handling, speeding up the entire process and reducing labor costs. Furthermore, an integrated crate washer improves hygiene standards, meeting the highest industry standards.

A modern vision system analyzes up to 85% of the fruit surface, detecting defects and classifying products by weight, size, color, and quality. An intelligent ratchet mechanism automatically redirects fruit to the appropriate sections, eliminating the need for manual intervention and increasing sorting accuracy.

The technology allows for sorting up to 12 tons of fruit per hour, optimizing workflow and significantly increasing production efficiency. An integrated system of conveyors, vacuum hydrofillers, and stacking robots eliminates manual filling of pallet boxes, minimizing the risk of fruit damage and increasing operational safety.

The HMI and PC control panel enable full line control and automatic fruit flow management. Safety circuits and an alarm system minimize the risk of failure. Eco-friendly solutions, such as a closed water circuit and energy-efficient motors, reduce resource consumption and operating costs, increasing the efficiency of the entire system. The modular design allows for easy integration with existing production lines, enabling expansion with additional modules.
