Complete Secondary Processing Workflow
A clean and modular flow that can be configured as per produce type, required capacity and market grading requirements.
1
Infeed
Produce is gently fed on roller conveyors, protecting fresh fruits and vegetables from bruising and damage.
2
Inspection
Operators pre-sort the product to remove waste, damaged pieces and unsuitable produce.
3
Washing
Produce is washed using immersion or roller spray systems with optional high-pressure jet spray and ozonation.
4
Surface Drying
Air knives remove moisture before waxing, grading or packing.
5
Waxing
Round fruits receive an even food-grade wax coating to replace natural wax lost during washing.
6
Hot Air Drying
Waxed fruits pass through a tunnel with high-velocity centrifugal air for proper absorption and surface drying.
7
Grading
Fruits are graded by size, diameter, weight, colour and optional quality parameters.
8
Packing
Final graded produce is collected and packed in cartons or crates for market dispatch.
