Preserving the Crispness: From Orchard to Market

Apples require a delicate touch to avoid bruising and a rigorous treatment protocol to maintain their shelf-life and luster. Eshet Eilon provides a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for apple packing houses, integrating advanced AI sorting technology with robust, stainless steel handling systems. Our lines are designed to ensure that every apple—from Gala to Granny Smith—reaches the consumer in peak condition.

Our Core Commitment: Zero-Damage Handling

At the heart of every system we build is a commitment to the fruit’s integrity. Leveraging over 50 years of experience, we apply maximum efforts and specialized engineering to ensure zero impact damage. We understand that a single bruise can compromise an entire batch; therefore, every transition, belt, and roller is meticulously designed for ultra-gentle movement, treating your apples with the care they deserve.

The Eshet Eilon Apple Protocol:

We engineer our apple lines based on research-backed protocols and decades of hands-on expertise:

• Gentle Infeed: Choice of robotic dry dumping or manual feeding, optimized to eliminate impact during the initial intake.

• Comprehensive Treatment: A precision line including high-pressure washing, specialized drying tunnels, and uniform waxing to protect the fruit.

• Thermal Protection: Hot water treatment options to disinfect and prepare the fruit for long-term cold storage or export.

• Advanced AI Sorting: Our AI-driven optical systems perform a 360° scan of every apple, grading by:

  • External Quality: Detecting blemishes, skin punctures, and texture issues.

  • Color & Blush: Ensuring perfectly uniform color grading for premium branding.

  • Weight & Size: High-speed, accurate measurement for consistent packaging.

• Safe Packing & Palletization: Final-stage stations that transition the sorted fruit into crates with a “soft landing,” followed by stable, automated palletization.
