Project Background: Pain Points of Russian Customers in Citrus Processing
As an important citrus consumption market, Russia's local fruit and vegetable processing enterprises face challenges such as low efficiency in manual sorting, high loss rates, and insufficient product standardization. The customer's existing production line equipment is outdated, resulting in incomplete cleaning and uneven air drying, which makes citrus prone to spoilage during storage and transportation, seriously affecting profit margins. The customer urgently needs an automated, high-precision processing line to achieve integrated and efficient processing from cleaning, air drying to grading.Solution: Customized citrus cleaning, drying and sorting processing line
Our technical team has designed a fully automatic citrus cleaning, drying and sorting processing line tailored to the climatic conditions in Russia and export standards. The core modules include:1. Intelligent Cleaning Module
· Utilizes high-pressure spraying and rotating brush technology, with a 304 stainless steel body. It can effectively remove pesticide residues and soil from the surface of citrus fruits, and after cleaning, it achieves deep air drying through a hot air circulation system to prevent uneven waxing in the future.
· Customer Value: The cleaning qualification rate has been increased to 99.5%, reducing the cost of manual secondary screening.
2. Spectral Sorting Module
· Integrates multi-spectral non-destructive detection technology, enabling simultaneous analysis of fruit diameter, sugar content, and defects (such as frost damage and blemished skin) within 0.3 seconds. Supports 24-level precise grading and can be customized with "leaf-on sorting" function to increase product premium value.
· Customer Value: Sorting efficiency reaches 12 tons per hour, export qualification rate has risen from 60% to 95%, meeting EU market access standards.
3. Preservation Processing Module
· Equipped with a food-grade automatic waxing machine, which evenly applies fruit wax using 15 brushes, controlling the wax layer thickness to be ≤ 0.1mm to avoid affecting the fruit's respiration process; combined with UV sterilization technology, the shelf life is extended to 45 days.
· Customer Value: The loss rate is reduced by 12%, and the customer order repeat purchase rate increases by 40%.
4. Intelligent Packaging Module
· Integrates a single fruit bagging machine and an automatic box sealing and packaging line, capable of adapting to the packaging of multiple specifications of films ranging from 160x200mm to 190x230mm. Combined with the blockchain traceability system, it generates a "quality identity card" to enhance brand trust.
· Customer Value: Packaging efficiency is increased by 3 times, and labor costs are reduced by 80%.
