Abstract
The problem of fruit-to-fruit impacts on packing lines was analysed in an experimental fruit packing line. Differentfactors were considered including fruit susceptibility to damage, fruit flow in the line, and characteristics of the transfer pointsbetween elements on the line. Tests were performed using Golden apples and IS 100 instrumented spheres. Most of thefruit-to-fruit impacts occurred at angled transfer points. A powered decelerator was developed and installed in the packingline that significantly minimized the number and intensity of fruit-to-fruit impacts at transfer points with a 90. angle betweentwo transporting belts.
