With the development of the harvest of Maogu Mandarin in honey Murcott, Queensland, Australia, major industry data forecast that the production in this quarter will decline compared with that in 2019. The epidemic situation has increased all the costs of planting and packaging, and the failure to harvest normally has brought great challenges to the citrus packaging industry. In this case, the role of automatic citrus packaging line is very important.
Murcott fruits are oblate, neat in shape, smooth in skin, orange yellow in color, with a fruit shape index of about 1.2, and weigh 150-200 grams per fruit. The Murcott can be sorted by a drum classifier or an electronic weighing classifier. Compared with drum fruit grader, electronic weight sorting grading machine has higher efficiency and more accurate classification of citrus.
Honey Murcott's production will fall by about 30% this season compared with last year, but the intrinsic quality of the fruit has proven to be excellent, said a manager at a citrus packaging plant. It is juicy, sweet and low in seed number.
In the fruit business, nothing remains the same. This year has proved it. You have to be ready to change, adapt and move on. The automatic grading packaging of citrus will be the development trend in the future. The choice of fruit grader depends on the shape of the fruit ; if you want to sort according to the weight, you can also choose the fruit weight classifier. The packaging part generally adopts automatic weighing and packaging system, which is more efficient and saves labor.
