Pomegranate Cleaning and Grading Line
Deep cleaning, non-destructive sorting, and precise sizing.
Pomegranate Cleaning and Precise Grading Solution
The Pomegranate Cleaning and Grading Production Line uses the physical force of bursting bubbles to gently and effectively clean the complex surface of pomegranates, avoiding damage to the skin caused by brushing. The core roller grading unit performs rapid and precise mechanized sorting based on the pomegranate’s maximum transverse diameter, ensuring a high degree of uniformity in fruit size, making it an ideal solution for modern post-harvest pomegranate processing.

Bubble Cleaning
Pomegranates enter a bubble cleaning machine, where they are surrounded and impacted by a large number of dense bubbles in water. The physical force generated when the bubbles burst on the fruit surface and around the calyx effectively shakes off and peels away tightly attached mud, dust, and residue.
- Bubble cleaning effectively cleans the pomegranate’s uneven surface and deep calyx, avoiding scratches.
- The impact force of bursting bubbles achieves deep cleaning, making it particularly suitable for removing impurities embedded in the calyx.
Powerful Drying
After cleaning, the pomegranates pass through a custom-designed drying section. A powerful, evenly distributed air curtain quickly and thoroughly removes all surface moisture, ensuring the fruit is completely dry.
- A thoroughly dry skin is crucial for subsequent roller grading to prevent slippage and ensure precise and smooth operation.
- Rapid moisture removal significantly reduces the risk of mold during storage and transportation, extending shelf life.
- A dry pomegranate skin reflects light more naturally, resulting in a better appearance.
Roller-Type Size Grading
Pomegranates move forward on two parallel, co-rotating rollers. As the gap gradually increases, the pomegranates, under their own weight, fall into the corresponding collection trough when they reach a gap matching their outer diameter, achieving precise grading by outer diameter.
- This gentle and efficient mechanical sorting causes no pressure damage to the pomegranates and boasts extremely high sorting efficiency.
- The fixed mechanical gap ensures stable sorting standards, guaranteeing high uniformity in size within the same grade.
- Stable operation and easy maintenance; robust and reliable structure; strong environmental tolerance; simple daily maintenance; and low long-term operating costs.
Grading and Packaging
Graded pomegranates of different grades are guided to designated collection areas via buffer chutes or conveyor belts, and can be seamlessly integrated with automated packaging equipment for commercial processing.
- Clear grading ensures no mixing, guaranteeing complete separation of pomegranates of different sizes and grades.
- The output end design perfectly matches standard packaging equipment, forming a continuous production line.
- Optimized flow guidance and buffering design minimizes damage to the fruit from sorting to packaging.
