Abstract

Excerpt from the report Summary: In preparing fresh apples for market, sorting by grade is a necessary and costly operation. If packinghouse operators could increase the output of sorters a sizable saving could be realized, which in turn could be passed on to consumers or growers, or both. Consequently, the main objectives of this study were (1) to develop and test new sorting methods and devices for existing sorting equipment, and (2) to develop and test a new sorting table which would substantially reduce costs of sorting.
