Product Description
Date Sorting Conveyor – Smartpack
The smart solution for transporting and sorting dates within production lines
In the industrial date-processing sector, sorting is one of the most critical steps for improving production quality and reducing waste before moving to subsequent stages such as pitting, date mincing, and paste production. This is where the Date Sorting Conveyor from Smartpack plays a vital role in date-processing lines, enabling easy and fast transfer of date fruits between various stages of the line.
This unit is part of the integrated date-processing system and can be smoothly combined with other equipment such as the date washing and cleaning machine to prepare the fruits before sorting, and the date sorting machine that classifies dates by size and grade—ensuring the highest possible product quality.
