The AirJet® sorting system is the most technologically advanced cranberry grading machinery on the market.
Description:
The AirJet Blueberry Grader is the most technologically advanced cranberry grading machinery on the market. The line features three types of AirJetTM Vision high definition (HD) cameras: black and white, colour, and near infrared (NIR) cameras. The sorter captures 21 images of the fruit’s surface, which enables a very detailed inspection from any perspective. The machine enables sorting according to:
- Size – the dimensions of each fruit are calculated based on 21 optical camera images;
- Softness/firmness – the machine is able to separate cranberries into 5 softness categories: intended for freezing, semi-soft, semi-hard, hard, and extra-hard, allowing producers to separate fruit – during packaging – for sale to different markets and according to their individual requirements
- Defects – the AirJetTM Vision’s GPJ technology detects internal and external defects such as bruises, discolouration and dryness
- Colour – the AirJet® sorting system can reject red, green and underripe fruit.
The GP Graders’ AirJet® sorts cranberries at the speed of up to 46 units per second per line, providing extremely high throughput while maintaining sorting accuracy.
