TOMATO GRADING SYSTEM

http://www.masellimisure.com/
The evaluation and grading of tomatoes entering the processing
plant, an operation which used to be carried out by
the forecourt overseer, today, thanks to the introduction
of our SV01 automatic waste and quality evaluation system,
has become extremely more objective and full of evaluation
parameters. The data gathered, not only provides a more
rewarding economical evaluation of the delivered product,
but also makes it possible to send the various loads to the
most suitable processing lines and can be used to help with
the making of agronomic decisions in the future. Furthermore,
the information provided by our instrumentation is
indispensible in the realization of food-chain traceability in
accordance with Standard UNI 10939 for Controlled Tomato
Quality.
The modularity of the whole structure means it can be adapted
to suit the individual characteristics of the reception area,
while the various combinations of instruments installed inside
the prefab module are able to meet all the requirements of
company directives.
The automatic probe for taking samples of the tomatoes
delivered in bulk loads (mod. CC02), is indispensible for taking
a representative sample of the whole load on which all
evaluations will then be based. The coring element must be
able to pick up the correct quantity of product from the overall
load without any grey areas and without altering the
characteristics of the product itself.
Although there are a series of compulsory parameters,
needed for establishing the conformity and quality of the
tomatoes, the grading station can be set up to a high level
of personalization, making sure it meets the most specific
needs of the processor and the producer.
The standard system for evaluating the batches of tomatoes
is based on determining the percentage of waste (percentage
of inert substances and certain fruit defects) and
on the qualitative remuneration of the °Brix value, read to
the second decimal point.
Further parameters which can be measured, such as pH,
colour and lycopene content, are used to improve management
of the processing phases and for evaluating the tomatoes
potential.
At the end of the cycle the system will:
- print out a provisional document for the deliverer which
includes the personal data of the producer, the load data
and the results of the relative evaluation;
- interface with the central IT systems;
- store the data on a hard disk for later processing in support
of agronomic evaluation.
The entire evaluation cycle for a load can be carried out by
a single person from inside the prefab module, but should
the time available be less than the linear duration of the
cycle, a second operator can be employed to partially overlap
the cycle phases, thus significantly reducing execution
times.

@sanissainu because the tomatos handled are for testing purposes only!

poor personnl hygiene ... Why there s no protective coverings for food handler?? hairnet / gloves/ masks......
