Abstract

Excerpts from the report Summary: A prototype hydrohandling system for sorting and sizing apples before storage was designed, constructed, and installed at a commercial apple packing and storage house. The system was based on completed research covering the development of a Irydrohandling system for sorting and sizing apples for storage in pallet boxes. Following installation, the system was tested under commercial conditions to evaluate its performance. After initial tests, further modifications to the system were made and tested. The system was designed to permit sorting, sizing, and filling apples back into pallet boxes at a rate of 600 bushels per hour. Test runs indicated that this volume of fruit could be handled by the system.
