Design and exploration of an apple sorting baler

Abstract

The packaging classification for the more vulnerable objects such as apple is only at the stage of manual classification, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also cannot accurately sort apples. Therefore, a design scheme of apple sorting and packaging machine is proposed. The structure of the machine and the functions of each part are systematically expounded. The functional modules of bad fruit removal, wax drying, intelligent classification and bagging are analyzed. The design scheme is to reduce the apples’ surface damage, improve the degree of mechanization.
