Raw Material Receiving and Feeding
Avocados transported from the orchard or warehouse are dumped into the receiving hopper.
The avocados are then smoothly and in a single layer conveyed onto the main conveyor belt via an elevator or uniform distribution belt, preparing them for subsequent precise inspection.
The key to this step is avoiding fruit accumulation and collisions.
Washing and Cleaning
Spray Washing: The fruit first passes through a high-pressure atomizing spray area, where clean water is used to rinse away surface dust, dirt, pollen, and pesticide residues.
Brush Cleaning: The fruit then enters an area consisting of soft-bristled brush rollers. The high-speed rotating rollers scrub the fruit peel surface, removing stubborn stains and polishing the peel.
Preliminary Drying: An air knife or high-speed blower is used to blow away most of the water droplets from the fruit surface, ensuring that the fruit surface is moist but without a flowing water film when entering the waxing stage. This facilitates the even adhesion of the wax.
Avocado Grading
Weight/Size Grading: Utilizes high-precision weighing sensors or optical volume measurement.
Appearance and Color Grading: Captures images from multiple angles using a high-resolution color camera. The computer vision system analyzes:
- Color and Ripeness: Determines ripeness level based on peel color (green -> dark purple/black) (e.g., Grade 1 – Firm, Grade 2 – Beginning to Soften, Grade 3 – Ready to Eat).
- Surface Defects: Automatically identifies scars, spots, bruises, diseases, etc.
- Internal Quality Inspection (Advanced Function): Uses near-infrared spectroscopy for non-destructive testing of the pulp’s dry matter and fat content, and detects internal browning or frost damage.
Central System Control for Sorting
Central Processing System: Collects all data in real time and performs comprehensive evaluation and grading of each avocado according to preset, adjustable grading standards.
The central system controls the sorting actuator (most commonly a pneumatic jet type), which uses compressed air to precisely blow the fruit into different collection lines or chutes the instant it reaches the corresponding exit, achieving non-destructive sorting.
Packaging and Labeling
Different grades of avocados go on different packaging lines. automated packaging may include:
Labeling: Affixing brand, variety, grade, or traceable QR code labels to each avocado.
Foam Netting: Placing high-grade avocados in foam netting to prevent damage during transport.
Pallet Placement: Robotic arms or automated devices precisely place the avocados into grooved paper trays.
Boxing and Sealing: Automated counting, boxing, sealing, and labeling of outer boxes.
