How to increase blueberry sorting efficiency on the farm
During the harvest period, every hour of sorting facility operation is crucial. Proper work organization and the use of modern machines can significantly increase fruit sorting efficiency.

The best results are achieved with:
- fast transport from the field
- fruit cooling
- a gentle feeding system.
Sorting automation
The greatest increase in efficiency comes from using automatic sorting systems.
Modern machines:
