Technology
Eshet Eilon uses the latest technologies for sorting and grading agricultural products, making sure that only the best products go into packing:
Weight sizing – The company has numerous cup and roller graders designed especially for each product. The different graders are divided by size, shape, and speed – in order to match the product.
Each grader comes with a very accurate weighing system that weights each fruit and grades it according to the settings of the system by the operator.
Optical grading – for External characters
according to size, color, and external defects: the company’s optic system serves as another tool in order to get high-quality products. The optic system includes high-quality color digital cameras that scan the surface of each product. The products are categorized by color, size, diameter, texture defects, and external defects. The quality of each product is calculated while combining these parameters according to the customer’s settings. Combining with the weight of the product – the customer gets only the best products.
NIR technology – for Internal characters
NIR (Near Infra-Red) systems use a special wavelength that can penetrate into the internal part of the product and analyze its chemical properties due to the waves the product returns.
This technology does not harm the product in any way and can help customers to send products with the best quality not only from the outside but also taking into consideration the internal part of the product as well.
Each customer can define their own preferences and set the parameters that will grade each product. Either by each parameter separately or few parameters combined together.

Research
Eshet Eilon’s R&D department constantly works on new developments, in the forefront of packhouse technologies,
and cooperates with leading scientists, including of the Volcani Institute.
The company’s leading technology is the NIR system (Near InfraRed). NIR systems use special wave length that can penetrate into the internal part of the product and analyze its chemical properties due to the waves the product returns.
Another advanced solution of Eshet Eilon is Optical grading: the optic system includes high quality color digital cameras that scan the surface of each product.
The products are categorized by color, size, diameter, texture defects and external defects.
Eshet Eilon’s world-leading cup sizers can be found in almost 30 countries, all over the world, from Europe and the USA to South America, Asia and Africa. With high quality construction and metalwork and unique high performance electronics and software, some of our 25-year-old sizers are still in operation in many packhouses worldwide.
Planning
Eshet Eilon’s engineers work closely with each client on planning the sorting facility that will serve his specific needs (custom-made planning).
With many years of experience in farming and in packhouse operations, we tailor the best and most economical solution for each operational need.
The range starts at the receiving and dumping equipment, water tanks, washing and drying machines, waxing equipment, sorting tables, hot water sanitation systems and conveying systems to the top of the line electronic sizers of various types for most suitable handling of any fruit or vegetable.
With the proper combination of engineering, metal works, electrical and computer departments, we are proud to manufacture the most reliable equipment, giving the users the peace of mind and the best tools to manage their operations. Eshet Eilon’s equipment is mostly constructed from stainless steel as part of Eshet Eilon’s vision, seeing packhouses as food processing plants with high standards of sanitation.
Eshet Eilon manufactures in-house a complete line of equipment for packhouses for most of the fruits and vegetables, from dates and cherry tomatoes to the largest melons.
The products are categorized by color, size, diameter, texture defects and external defects.
