Grading Peppers / Capsicum (or odd shaped products)

Harvested peppers usually arrive in the packing area from the greenhouse in large containers. They can be stored, transported or sold without being sorted. But the consumer market these days has very specific demands for sorting and packaging of produce.

Therefore, Aweta has developed an integrated system to enable the user to guarantee the highest quality. The combination of weight and diameter creates such precise analyses that the user can target some niche markets. One would be the tri-color bags in supermarkets, guaranteeing the same sized peppers. Another unique feature is that the machine combines peppers by weight to fill a box to the exact volume wanted. The benefit of this precise filling of boxes is that the user is not overfilling the boxes. The benefit of this precise filling of boxes is that the user is not overfilling the boxes. Result is that if the box is supposed to be 5 kg's, that the box indeed weighs exactly 5 kg's. The user will not be giving away product and therefore, he will save between 2 and 3% on his production.

The peppers are dumped onto feeding hoppers which will move them through the elevator to the quality sorting table. At this table a visual inspection is done to extract the second choice peppers; the pepper with external defects.

The peppers continue to the Aweta Grader. The Aweta diabolos are specially designed to separate every single pepper. This prevents the peppers from doubling up and guarantees an accurate measurement.

The Aweta Grader will sort the peppers on weight and diameter. Special cameras inspect the peppers according to required standards. This technology ensures that only the pepper and not also the stem is part of the analysis.

The pre-mature harvested multi colored peppers can be separated out of the batch by a special color camera.

The number of lines and outlets depends on the customer's requirements for capacity and packing.
