Citrus Sorting & Post-Harvest Solutions

Global Excellence in High-Capacity Citrus Processing

From oranges and pomelos to tangerines and lemons, citrus fruits demand a robust and fast processing line. Eshet Eilon specializes in turnkey solutions for citrus packing houses, backed by dozens of successful projects worldwide. Our lines are engineered to handle the massive volumes of the citrus season while ensuring each fruit is treated, graded, and packed to perfection.

Our Core Commitment: Zero-Damage Handling & Expert Infeed

Citrus fruits require a stable and controlled start. Unlike other crops, citrus is typically handled via specialized dry infeed systems, which we custom-design to prevent impact damage from the very first second. Leveraging 50 years of experience, we apply maximum efforts to ensure zero-damage handling throughout the line. Every roller, brush, and transition point is engineered with “Soft-Touch” technology to preserve the essential oils and the integrity of the citrus skin.
