The tomato grading machine utilizes advanced roller gap adjustment technology, specifically designed for the automatic size sorting of various types of tomatoes (fresh tomatoes, processing tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, etc.). It achieves gentle, efficient, and non-destructive grading through a physical gap principle, making it a core sorting equipment for the tomato packaging, processing, and export industries.
How the Tomato Grading Machine Works
1. Flexible Conveying System
- Food-Grade Rollers: Silicone-coated rollers offer a soft surface with optimal friction.
- Gentle Handling: Ensures smooth tomato rotation during transport to prevent surface damage.
2. Intelligent Gap Grading Zone
- Progressive Gap Design: Roller spacing gradually widens from inlet to outlet.
- Multi-Stage Sorting: Enables simultaneous sorting into multiple size categories.
3. Precise Sorting & Collection
- Accurate Drop-Off: Tomatoes fall gently into corresponding collection troughs when their diameter is smaller than the roller gap.
- High Precision: Grading accuracy within ±1.5–2 mm.
4. Multi-Grade Configuration
- Standard Models: Support 3–6 size grades.
- Flexible Integration: Each outlet can connect to packaging lines, crates, or further processing equipment.
Core Advantages of Our Tomato Grading Machine
- Ultra-high grading accuracy: Using precision bearings and gap locking technology, the grading consistency rate reaches over 98%, perfectly meeting the high standards of supermarkets, export markets, etc.
- Extremely gentle handling: Pure mechanical sorting with zero impact and zero compression throughout the process, controlling the tomato damage rate to below 0.2%, maximizing product value.
- Excellent processing efficiency: Processing capacity of 1-5 tons/hour, 24-hour continuous and stable operation, especially suitable for the concentrated processing needs during the tomato harvest season.
- Wide adaptability: Adjustable roller parameters to adapt to various types of tomatoes, including large fresh tomatoes, cluster tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and processing tomatoes, with a diameter range of 20-90mm.
Tomato Sorting Machine FAQ
Q: Can the machine handle tomatoes of different ripeness levels?
A: By adjusting the roller speed and gap pressure, the system can adapt to tomatoes of varying hardness, from the hard, mature stage to the ripening stage, ensuring accurate grading without damaging the fruit.
Q: Can it effectively sort small-sized fruits like cherry tomatoes?
A: Absolutely. The equipment can sort tomatoes with a minimum diameter of 15mm. By replacing the specialized roller set, it can accurately sort small-sized fruits such as cherry tomatoes and grape tomatoes.
Q: Can it be connected to existing packaging lines?
A: The input and output heights and speeds are customizable, allowing for seamless integration with automatic packaging machines, boxing machines, and labeling machines. We also provide overall production line design services.
Q: How long does it take from order placement to delivery?
A: The production cycle for standard configurations is 6-9 weeks, including factory testing and pre-adjustment. Installation and commissioning take 2-3 business days, with full guidance provided.
