High-Efficiency 5t/h Integrated Orange Washing, Waxing, and 5-Grade Sorting Line in the USA
A prominent commercial citrus packinghouse based in the United States needed a robust, space-saving, and user-friendly post-harvest line to handle seasonal orange crops. They required an efficient system capable of processing around 5 tons per hour (5t/h) with minimal labor requirements and rapid local setup.
Our customized All-in-One Integrated Orange Processing Line provided the perfect turnkey solution, modernizing their facility with zero operational friction and seamless plug-and-play installation.
Complete Post-Harvest Process Flow
This automated line seamlessly connects every essential treatment phase to deliver premium, market-ready fruit:
1. Deep Cleaning (Bubble Washing Tank & Sprayers Cleaning)
Oranges are introduced into a spacious stainless steel water bath where high-pressure bubble agitation gently loosens orchard soil, dust, and residues. Over-tank precision sprayers provide a final fresh-water rinse to ensure spotless skin without bruising.
2. Surface Moisture Removal (Drying Machine)
A series of high-velocity axial fans quickly strip surface water from the wet oranges as they pass on the rollers, perfectly prepping the skin for uniform wax distribution.
3. Manual Quality Inspection (Inspection Table)
Designed for ergonomic comfort, the rotating roller inspection conveyor rotates each orange 360 degrees. This allows operators to easily spot and manually cull defective or damaged fruits before they enter the waxing stage.
4. Premium Coating & Curing (Waxing Machine & Heat Dryer)
A precise liquid wax application mist coats the citrus evenly to prolong shelf life, preserve freshness, and prevent weight loss. The oranges immediately pass through a specialized thermal tunnel (Heat Dryer) to cure the wax coat into a brilliant, glossy, market-ready finish.
5. Precision Mechanical Sizing (5-Grade Adjustable Roller Grader)
The final sorting process features an ultra-reliable mechanical roller mechanism. Spacings can be effortlessly adjusted to sort the fruit into 5 separate size streams rapidly, ensuring high accuracy without causing skin impact or bruising.
6. Efficient Final Collection (Box & Crate Packing System)
Upon exiting the roller grader, the precisely sized oranges are smoothly discharged into dedicated collection outlets equipped with independent motorized belt conveyors and packing chutes. This modular design allows operators to seamlessly pack the sized fruit directly into shipping boxes or field crates, minimizing manual handling and maximizing post-sorting packaging throughput.
