Product Overview

The Fstsort onion sorting grading machine typically consists of a feeding hopper, elevator, roller inspection conveyor, air blower, and size grader. It offers variable speed and large capacity for commercial onion packing lines.

The air blower works together with gaps at the feeding part and outlets to remove impurities and the outermost loose skins from onions or garlic. Workers can perform quality inspection on the PVC roller conveyor. A simple bagging device at each exit helps you pack directly into net bags or cartons after sorting.
