Melon Sorting & Post-Harvest Solutions

Heavy-Duty Precision for Premium Melons

The Melon Sorting Machine by Eshet Eilon is engineered to handle the unique challenges of large, heavy, and sensitive fruits. Melons, such as Galia, Cantaloupe, and Honeydew, require a robust sorting line that can manage significant weight while maintaining a high level of delicacy. Our specialized systems are designed to provide accurate grading and complete post-harvest treatment, ensuring your produce is ready for both local and global markets.

Our Core Commitment: Zero-Damage Handling

Despite their tough appearance, melons are highly susceptible to internal bruising and external scarring, which can drastically shorten their shelf-life. Leveraging 50 years of experience, we apply maximum efforts and specialized engineering to ensure zero impact damage. Every component of our Melon Sorting Machine—from the receiving dumpers to the final packing tables—utilizes “Soft-Touch” technology to prevent impact and ensure the fruit’s integrity is preserved throughout the process.

Advanced AI Grading for Maximum Yield

Our AI-driven Melon Sorting Machine technology offers comprehensive analysis to ensure only the best products reach your customers:

• Precise Weight & Size Grading: High-speed, heavy-duty sensors that provide surgical accuracy for large individual fruits.

• External Quality Inspection: Identifying skin blemishes, texture irregularities, and netting consistency with 360-degree vision.

• Color Analysis: Ensuring uniform ripeness and appearance across every batch.

• Complex Shape Grading: Algorithms that accurately distinguish between different melon varieties and shapes.

Comprehensive Post-Harvest Treatment

To maximize shelf-life and enhance market appeal, our lines offer a full suite of treatments:

• Customized Infeed Systems: Options for robotic dry dumping or gentle water immersion depending on the variety.

• Washing & Sanitization: Specialized modules to remove field debris and prevent post-harvest decay.

• Advanced Drying Tunnels: High-efficiency air systems to stabilize the fruit before it is packed.

• Professional Packing Stations: Ergonomic designs that allow for a “soft landing” into cartons or bins.

• Automatic Palletization: Final-stage automation for perfectly stacked, stable pallets.
