Onion Sorting & Post-Harvest Solutions

The Industry Standard for High-Capacity Onion Grading

The Onion Sorting Machine by Eshet Eilon is engineered to handle the heavy demands of modern onion packing houses. Onions are a high-volume, “dirty” crop that requires robust machinery capable of managing dust, dry skins, and high impact during sorting. Our stainless steel solutions are world-renowned for their durability, delivering high-throughput performance while maintaining surgical precision in weight and size grading for every onion variety.

Our Core Commitment: Zero-Damage Handling

Even though onions appear robust, impact damage during the sorting process can lead to internal rot and significantly reduced shelf-life. Leveraging 50 years of experience, we apply maximum efforts and specialized engineering to ensure zero impact damage. Every transition, roller, and belt in our Onion Sorting Machine is designed with “Soft-Touch” technology. We ensure that the integrity of the onion—from Red and Yellow to White varieties—is preserved from the moment it leaves the field bin until it reaches the final export carton.

Advanced AI Grading for Onions

Our AI-driven Onion Sorting Machine technology provides high-speed, accurate grading based on the specific needs of the global onion market:

• Precision Diameter & Size Grading: Using advanced sensors to ensure perfectly uniform batches for retail, catering, and industrial use.

• Accurate Weight Sizing: High-speed, heavy-duty weighing systems integrated directly into the sorting line to minimize “give-away.”

• Shape Analysis & Uniformity: Identifying and sorting onions by shape consistency to meet premium branding standards.

• External Quality Inspection: Specialized systems designed to detect major surface defects and skin integrity issues.

Built for Durability: The Stainless Steel Advantage

Onion packing environments are notoriously tough on machinery due to abrasive dust and organic debris. All Eshet Eilon Onion Sorting Machine components are built from heavy-duty stainless steel, offering:

• Superior Longevity: Resisting the corrosive and abrasive nature of onion skins and field debris.

• Ease of Cleaning & Maintenance: Open-frame designs that allow for rapid wash-downs or high-pressure air cleaning to maintain hygiene.

• Maximum Stability & Reliability: A stable, vibration-free system designed for 24/7 operation during the busiest harvest seasons.
