Pomegranate Sorting & Post-Harvest Solutions

High-Capacity Precision for Premium Pomegranates

The Pomegranate Sorting Machine by Eshet Eilon is the ultimate solution for growers aiming to dominate the global export market. Pomegranates are high-value fruits that require a unique combination of heavy-duty sorting capabilities and ultra-gentle handling. Our systems are designed to manage the substantial weight of large pomegranates while delivering surgical precision in grading by weight, size, and external quality, ensuring that only the finest fruits reach the premium retail shelves.

Our Core Commitment: Zero-Damage Handling

Despite their thick, leathery skin, pomegranates are surprisingly sensitive. Mechanical impacts during sorting can cause internal bruising and skin discoloration, which diminish the fruit’s market value. Leveraging over 50 years of engineering expertise, we apply maximum efforts and specialized engineering to ensure zero impact damage. Every transition point, roller, and belt in our Pomegranate Sorting Machine is integrated with “Soft-Touch” technology. We ensure a gentle journey from the field bin to the final packing stage, preserving the crown’s integrity and the skin’s vibrant appearance.

Advanced AI Optical Grading for Pomegranates

Our AI-driven Pomegranate Sorting Machine utilizes state-of-the-art vision systems to analyze pomegranates across multiple complex parameters:

• External Quality & Blemish Detection: Identifying scratches, sunscald, and fungal spots with 360-degree optical precision to ensure export-grade quality.

• Precise Color Analysis: Sorting by color intensity and uniformity to meet specific branding requirements for different global markets.

• Size & Diameter Measurement: High-speed sensors calibrated to handle the large, rounded shape of the pomegranate with pinpoint accuracy.

• Accurate Weight Grading: Heavy-duty weighing cells integrated into the line to ensure perfectly uniform packaging and minimized product give-away.

The Stainless Steel Advantage: Durability & Sanitation

Pomegranate processing can be demanding on machinery due to the fruit’s weight and the potential for juice acidity during cleaning. Every Eshet Eilon Pomegranate Sorting Machine is built from high-grade stainless steel, offering:

• Superior Structural Stability: Designed to maintain high-speed accuracy even when handling heavy, high-volume crops.

• Hygienic Design: Resistant to organic buildup and easy to sanitize, ensuring compliance with the highest international food safety protocols.
