Every fruit packhouse is unique, and SunSortai can be customized to serve your unique needs or even adapt to existing conveying systems for fruit sorting.
Capabilities
- Fruit Color Average, darkest, lightest, and peak color, variegation
- Fruit Blemishs (Defect) Detecting light, medium, dark & total scarring
- Fruit Size Average diameter, characteristic diameter or volume
- Fruit Shape Aspect ratio and roundness
- Fruit Sorting Identifying defects by name through AI
- Fruit Weight Designed for high speed precision weighing
- Fruit Stems & Blossoms Identify stems and blossoms from defects
Using nominal values, you can set and adjust breakpoints that are determined by running test fruit and adjusting these values accordingly.
Fruit Decay Detection
A combination of advanced AI and a broad spectrum optical system elevate Sunsortai’s decay detection to the leader in fruit sorting. It can identify decay that cannot be seen by naked eye in a thousandth of a second, saving valuable fruit from waste. We've spent decades refining our advanced Fruit Decay Detection System. Our patented detection system combined with a simple user interface design makes it easy to quickly select and identify decay.

The Best in Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence is more than just feeding data to a computer; at RTS, we’re pioneering the future of fruit sorting and fruit grading. Integrating our expertise in citrus into the design of our very own machine intelligence. The Sunsortai is designed from the ground up to recognize defects in citrus fruits, by name. Whether it is piojo, oleocellosis, and cancerosis, our AI can be trained to recognize fruit defects that matter the most to your operation.
Recognizing our achievements in the fruit packing industry, Google invited RTS into a partnership to bring Sunsortai to the next level.
Monorail Carrier System
The monorail incorporates a precise fruit weighing system that measures down to the gram. It contains a drive motor, orientation motor, actuators, PLC with warning alarms and control. The monorail can be customized from its minimum of 30 feet up to any length; currently our longest system is 170 feet.
CAB Carrier System
The CAB system is our tried and true system that uses a dual chain design and our proprietary ejector. The minimum system length for the monorail is 27’10” which has capability for up to 5 drop points. Each module contains a drive motor, orientation motor, actuators, PLC with warning alarms and controls. The rail can be extended with 45”, 90” or 110” length sections.
Optical System
The optical fruit grading system is run by a standard PC with a monitor, keyboard, mouse and printer. Optical housings are complete with camera assemblies, commercially developed task specific cameras and lighting assemblies for optimum grading capabilities. Power Saving Function utilizes state of the art illumination technology to increase the longevity of the system.
Sunsortai is the simple solution for your grading, sorting and sizing needs. Easy to use and designed and built just for you.
