Grading Technology
Built specifically for citrus, Sunsortai is the latest in grading technology. Fully automated and powered by Google’s state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence, Sunsortai uses a proprietary imaging system and proven mechanical design that is fast, reliable and gentle.
Tested through decades of service in packing houses around the world, the Sunsortai’s rugged and efficient design makes it the reliable and cost effective solution for your sorting and sizing needs.
Optical Sorting Technology
Sunsortai is a culmination of years of AI research and our expertise in building a robust grading system. It is leaps and bounds from a generation ago, where groups of workers pick out defects from a conveyor belt. Today, Sunsortai has the capability to sort and grade a fruit in thousandths of a second with the reliability worthy of the label “Made Proudly in the USA.”
Packing Technology
PATTERN PACKERThe SoftTouch pattern packer will put you ahead of your competition with its speed and reliability. With a tool-less design, SoftTouch can be quickly retooled to pack different sizes of fruits in a variety of patterns and depths. It has a simple and easy to understand user interface and built in safeguards to prevent user error. It is built with as many off-the-shelf parts as possible for easy maintenance and repairs. It is a tough machine built to last decades in a harsh environment, yet gentle enough to handle delicate fruits.
Packing Technology
VOLUME PACKERSunfill® is a fully automated count packer, designed for counting citrus down to a single piece and filling up to 4 boxes a minute without causing harm to the product it is packing. It has proprietary a dual lane design which allows boxes to be filled to the exact amount specified and no more. The controls are intuitive and keep a count of both numbers of fruits counted and boxes filled. It is made with stainless steel that meets food safety standards and has a small footprint, low maintenance, and high reliability to ensure a quick turnaround.
