Fruit handling
State container size, arrival temperature and acceptable berry breakage. A deep dump is not automatically suitable for soft fresh fruit.
Keep sound berries moving while separating the receiving weight from the usable feed weight.
A receiving hopper or container interface feeds an inspection conveyor. Transfer heights, belt access and collection points are laid out around the berry condition and the operators who inspect it.

Define stems, leaves, foreign matter and damaged fruit to remove. Visual sorting does not replace the incoming-lot acceptance programme.
Keep gross receiving weight, packaging tare and rejected fruit as separate records.
Floor level, incoming containers, drainage, operator access and the downstream washer determine the transfer arrangement.
Provide access beneath belts and around rollers; inspect product-trapping ledges and avoid sending sorting debris into the washer.
