Product Overview – Two Solutions for Coconut Grading
Coconuts are large, heavy, and have hard shells. Standard fruit graders are not designed to handle them. Fstsort offers two specialized grading solutions with customized heavy-duty trays and reinforced structures.
Feature | Drum Size Grader | Electronic Weight Sorter |
|---|---|---|
Grading principle | By diameter (drum holes) | By weight (±5g accuracy) |
Capacity (single lane) | 10 t/h | 5,000 kg/h (scales with lanes) |
Number of grades | 3 sizes (5 exits) | Custom – e.g., 5+1, 7+1, 9+1 |
Number of lanes | 1 (fixed) | 1, 2, or 4 lanes (customizable) |
Best for | Basic size sorting, high volume | Export, uniform weight packing |
Investment | Lower (USD thousands) | Higher (USD tens of thousands) |
✅ Both machines are built with customized components for coconuts – larger trays, reinforced frames, and durable materials.
Solution 1 – Coconut Drum Size Grader
Best for: High-volume packers who need basic size sorting at low cost.
This coconut drum grader sorts coconuts by diameter as they pass through rotating drums with different hole sizes. The sorting drum is made of PP board – durable, lightweight, and easy to clean.
Key features:
✅ High capacity – up to 10 tons per hour
✅ 3 size grades – distributed across 5 physical exits (first two sizes use two exits/drums for uniform sorting)
✅ Soft, durable conveyors at each outlet – avoids hurting the coconut shell surface
✅ Speed adjustable via frequency converter
✅ Suitable for coconuts and other large, heavy fruits
Specification – Drum Grader

✅ Simple, fast, and affordable – perfect for operations where weight precision is not critical.
Solution 2 – Coconut Electronic Weight Sorter
Best for: Export packers and premium markets that require uniform weight packing.
This electronic weight sorter sorts coconuts by weight with high precision. It can be used as a standalone machine or integrated into a larger processing line.
