When grading apples, the first concern is gentle handling, to prevent damage to the fruit and maximize quality. The rollers on the Kerian Sizer are designed specifically to handle the apples as gently as a roller grading table.
The sizes that the apples are sorted into can be quickly and easily adjusted by moving the dividers on the takeaway conveyor. The Urethane Rounded Spool Rollers, shown on the Kerian Speed Sizer in the video, provide four points of contact with each apple so that the apples are consistently and accurately sorted by size. The opening between the rollers consistently and slowly increases. Rollers carefully straightened during manufacturing eliminate any pinching or squeezing during sizing. The takeaway conveyor can be positioned a few inches below the rollers so that the apples are gently carried to the side of the Sizer, neatly sorted by size. |
Low cost and flexibility makes the Kerian Sizer a feasible choice even for smaller packing lines.
