Apples have different characteristics in size, variety, taste and harvest season, and different market demands vary. Common varieties such as Fuji are sweet and crisp and durable in storage, Red Star is sweet and smooth in appearance, Green Apple is sour and suitable for baking, and Pink Lady is balanced in sweetness and sourness and has a long shelf life. The maturity period of apples varies from variety to variety, ranging from early-maturing varieties in July-August to late-maturing varieties in October-November, which affects the supply rhythm.
When batch processing is carried out after harvest, precise sorting is required to ensure consistency in size, color and quality; washing and drying help remove pesticide residues and dust to avoid rot. Some markets require food-grade waxing or 1-MCP preservation to extend shelf life, while appropriate packaging and cold chain transportation can ensure that apples remain in the best condition during circulation and improve market competitiveness.

Let's take a look at how Fstsort processes fresh apples. First, the apples enter the hydraulic bucket cleaning system to gently remove dirt and impurities from the fruit surface, and then further clean the surface of the peel by brushing and spraying. The washed apples enter the air drying system, where soft brushes and fan tunnels quickly remove moisture to prevent mildew.
Next, some apples can enter the waxing system, where food-grade fruit wax is evenly coated on the surface of the peel, and dried to improve gloss and extend storage time. After that, the apples enter the sorting system, where they can be accurately classified according to weight, size, color and appearance quality.
Finally, when the apples enter the packaging stage, you can choose a manual packaging table or an automated packaging system to ensure efficient and safe packaging or net bag packaging. The entire process ensures that the apples are clean, hygienic, accurately graded, and packaged with low damage during processing, providing high-quality products to the market.
