As global demand for high-quality persimmons continues to rise, producers face increasing challenges in maintaining the fruit’s delicate integrity during post-harvest processing. Persimmons, with their pulpy flesh and fragile skin, are highly susceptible to bruising and superficial flaws making traditional handling methods inadequate for preserving their market value.
Recently, we received a consultation from Turkey about persimmons sorting. The client requires sorting 300 tons of persimmons to specific size grades within 1-2 months: weight 150-250g and diameter 30-90mm.To meet these precise demands while protecting delicate fruit, the FstSort team recommended its rotary weight sorter—specifically engineered for gentle handling and millimeter-perfect accuracy.
This system uniquely addresses persimmon vulnerabilities: its V-shaped transportation belt cradles individual fruit to prevent bruising, while advanced sensors deliver pinpoint weight/diameter sorting within ±2g tolerances. The machine’s integrated design—including elevator, main electronic unit, and intuitive control panel—minimizes impacts during transfer and grading. By eliminating manual handling trauma while ensuring exact size compliance, the sorter optimizes both quality retention and throughput efficiency—critical for producers targeting premium international markets.
Beyond persimmons, this grader is ideal for other delicate fruits like apples, pears, kiwis, and peaches, offering versatile, damage-free post-harvest handling.
