As the global demand for eggplant grows, especially in major producing countries such as China, India, Turkey, etc., the efficiency of eggplant sorting has become particularly important. For farmers and processing plants, how can eggplants be sorted quickly and efficiently?
Eggplants have a variety of shapes, ranging from long, oval to spherical, and come in a variety of colors such as purple, white and green. Eggplants have thin skins and are easily damaged, which makes traditional manual sorting methods not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to damage to eggplants, affecting the quality and market value of the product.
A machine that uses rollers to sort eggplant diameters is a common agricultural sorting equipment. This equipment can accurately grade and sort eggplants according to their diameter size through the rotation and spacing adjustment of a series of rollers. The spacing of the rollers usually increases gradually, so that eggplants with smaller diameters fall off in the early part, while eggplants with larger diameters continue to move forward until they reach the sorting area that matches their size.
Advantages: high efficiency and sorting accuracy, and the design of the rollers is usually smooth, which reduces mechanical damage to the eggplants.
This roller sorting machine is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises with limited budgets. It mainly performs simple diameter grading, which is low-cost and easy to operate.
Optical sorting technology is an efficient and accurate means of sorting modern agricultural products. The optical grading machine captures the image of the eggplant through a camera, uses a computer algorithm to analyze the eggplant's shape, length, width, curvature and diameter, and then grades and classifies the eggplant according to the set standards.
Advantages: high accuracy, reduced waste and improved efficiency. More importantly, it can be applied to cucumbers, zucchini, long peppers, zucchini, radishes and sweet potatoes, etc., and only needs to adjust the parameters through software, which has strong flexibility.
This optical sorting line has a high initial investment and is suitable for large-scale production and enterprises with high precision requirements. It can accurately measure multiple parameters and improve sorting efficiency.
Choosing the right sorting equipment according to the variety, size and quantity of eggplant is the first step to ensure efficient sorting. Different equipment varies in processing capacity, accuracy and sorting methods, and producers should choose according to their own needs.
