Plum Sorting & Post-Harvest Solutions

Precision Technology for Delicate Stone Fruits

The Plum Sorting Machine by Eshet Eilon is engineered to handle the delicate requirements of plums and prunes with unmatched precision. Plums are highly susceptible to mechanical damage and skin scuffing, which can significantly reduce their market value and shelf-life. Our advanced sorting systems combine high-speed AI optical technology with the softest handling protocols in the industry, ensuring that every fruit is graded accurately while maintaining its pristine condition.

Our Core Commitment: Zero-Damage Handling

Maintaining the integrity of plums is critical for any high-end packing house. Even a minor impact during the grading process can lead to rapid decay or unsightly blemishes. Leveraging over 50 years of engineering experience, we apply maximum efforts and specialized engineering to ensure zero impact damage. Every component of our Plum Sorting Machine, from the specialized soft-landing infeed to the final packing stations, is designed with “Soft-Touch” technology. We ensure that your plums—whether Black, Red, or Yellow varieties—reach the market without a single bruise, preserving their natural wax (bloom) and firm texture.

Advanced AI Optical Grading for Plums

Our AI-driven Plum Sorting Machine utilizes state-of-the-art vision systems to grade plums based on surgical precision and retail-ready standards:

• External Quality & Blemish Detection: Identifying skin punctures, bruises, limb rubs, and texture irregularities with 360-degree optical scanning.

• Precise Color & Ripeness Grading: Advanced algorithms that sort plums by color intensity and background shade, ensuring uniform ripening stages in every carton.

• Size & Diameter Accuracy: High-speed measurement calibrated to handle the varying shapes of different plum varieties with pinpoint accuracy.

• Accurate Weight Grading: Integrated weighing systems that ensure consistent packaging weights, minimizing product give-away and maximizing profitability.

The Stainless Steel Advantage: Hygiene & Durability

Stone fruit processing requires a sterile and durable environment. Every Eshet Eilon Plum Sorting Machine is constructed from high-grade stainless steel, offering:

• Superior Sanitation: Resistant to organic buildup and easy to sanitize, ensuring compliance with international food safety standards.

• Long-Term Durability: Built to withstand the moisture and continuous workload of a busy harvest season.

• Stable Engineering: A vibration-free design that ensures the accuracy of our AI sensors and weighing cells remains consistent over time.

Maximizing Operational Efficiency & ROI

Investing in an automated Plum Sorting Machine is not just about quality; it’s about the bottom line. By integrating our high-speed AI technology, your packing house can:

• Reduce Manual Labor: Automating the grading process allows for a significant reduction in labor costs while increasing throughput.

• Optimize Yield: Our precise sorting ensures that more fruit is directed to the premium market, reducing waste and improving total revenue.

• Data-Driven Management: Real-time reporting allows you to monitor your yield and make informed decisions during the peak season.
