Types of Sorting Equipment

1. Belt Conveyors:

• Models for loose or packaged products (perforated belts for sieving unnecessary impurities).
• Specialized belts with antibacterial properties for the food industry (rubber belts with enhanced grip for delicate products like berries, vegetables, etc.).
• Inclined belts for feeding products to the sorting line (relief belts for transporting products at an incline).

2. Roller Conveyors:

• Rotary, lift, and multi-level systems for transporting boxes, containers, or bags.
• Additional modules for automatic distribution along the line.

3. Calibration Conveyors:

• For weighing and automatic distribution into specified containers.
• Vibration tables for separating products by size (fruits, nuts, berries, vegetables).
• Mechanical calibration systems for berries, nuts, and fruits.
• Drum calibrators for sorting by diameter.

Practical Use Cases

1. Processing berries (calibration and sorting) for further freezing.
2. Sorting fruits before their processing into juices or jams.
3. Packaging vegetables into nets or boxes for subsequent sale.
4. Calibrating nuts by size and weight for export.
5. Weighing and storing products in boxes or other containers.
6. Transporting products to an automatic packaging machine.
7. Sorting grains or legumes by size and quality.
8. Quality checking of vegetables and fruits using mechanical calibrators.
9. Distributing products on the line (preparing for packaging).
10. Processing finished semi-finished products in the food industry.
11. Weighing and sorting dairy products before packaging.
12. Logistic sorting of products before shipment.

Advantages of Sorting

1. Time-saving: Automation significantly reduces the time for processing and packaging.
2. Quality Sorting: The use of calibration systems ensures accuracy and uniformity.
3. Increased Productivity: Enterprises can process up to 30% more products in the same amount of time.
4. Cost Reduction: Rational resource use lowers production costs.
5. Profitability: Higher product quality and reduced waste increase profitability.

Target Audience

• Agricultural enterprises.
• Exporters of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and berries.
• Processing companies (juices, preserves, jams).
• Food manufacturers (confectionery factories, dairy plants).
• Companies producing baby food.
• Logistic centers of supermarkets and retail chains.

Case Study #1

• Company: LLC “AgroTechProm.”
• Industry: Production and export of fruits and vegetables.
• Solution: Installation of an automated vegetable sorting system (conveyor line with calibration).
• Description: The company contacted KONSORT to create a comprehensive sorting and packaging line (carrots, onions, apples). The project included belt conveyors with relief belts for transportation and mechanical calibration systems for sorting by size and weight.

Results:

• Productivity: Increased vegetable processing by 35%.

• Profitability: Investments paid off within 2.5 years.

Case Study #2

• Company: LLC “Fructex.”
• Industry: Production of fruit semi-finished products (freezing and exporting berries).
• Solution: Installation of an automated berry sorting system (conveyor line with calibration).
• Description: The company sought assistance from KONSORT to develop a berry sorting line (currants, raspberries, strawberries). Installed belt conveyors for transportation, size calibration systems, and optical sensors to detect damaged berries.

Results:

• Increased Productivity: 40% more processed products per shift.
• Reduced Losses: Up to 98% of high-quality products sorted.
• Savings: Reduced labor costs by 25%.
• Profitability: Investment returned within 18 months.

Sorting and packaging products using mechanical conveyor systems is a modern approach to automation, enabling the optimization of production processes. KONSORT offers comprehensive solutions, including belt conveyors, berry calibration systems, and transport conveyor lines, ensuring fast and high-quality sorting. For enterprises seeking to improve productivity, the ability to purchase a sorting conveyor or order a conveyor system in Ukraine is an effective solution for ensuring stable growth and competitiveness.

Using these systems helps businesses refine sorting processes, minimize losses, and meet modern market standards.
