PhotosUS: Mango sorting with IQA - ready for production
A presentation by Mr. Valery Quenon of Aweta G&P about electronic sorting of Mango will occur at the Outreach Meeting in Mexico with the National Mango Board and EMEX A.C. Jalisco, Mexico, November 24, 2009
Development:
Reedley, CA., USA. – November 17, 2009 – During the summer of 2009, the Aweta IQA, (Internal Quality Analyzer), and AFS (Acoustic Firmness Sensor) were prepped and tested for the selection of fresh packed Mango based upon characteristics such as levels of sweetness, maturity, firmness, and percent of moisture content. This system allows the packer to more accurately pack and ship mango of consistent quality. This will help reduce immature fruit in the market place, save labor, handle fruit gently, and increase pack line productivity.
Applications include: Mango, Avocadoes, Peaches, Plums, Nectarines, Oranges, Apples, and many other fresh packed produce.
Aweta I. Q. A.
• The brix analysis is safe with transmittance of NIR near infrared light, non destructive.
• A perfect solution when used in combination with Aweta high-speed sorting/sizing
equipment.
Aweta A.F.S.
• Levels of Firm to soft fruit are selected with acoustical sound analysis.
• Fruit surface pliability is measured
• Consistent fruit quality.
We specialize in the design and manufacturing of gentle handling equipment for fruit and vegetable grading and packaging. Our specialty electronics allow you to save labor as you grade, color sort, size, and distribute fresh produce throughout your packing system.
