绿萌水果分选设备获得澳洲客户肯定和好评,特别是在疫情背景下,保持了易安装、系统易操作和分选功能的卓越性

COVID-19在2020年为新鲜农产品公司带来了许多挑战,但澳大利亚的一个鳄梨和柑桔生产商已经通过视频通话自行安装了其新的水果分选机

今年,新南威尔士州中部海岸的Sparacino农场在公司的包装棚中安装了Reemoon技术系统。由于旅行限制,这家中国公司无法访问该站点以提供帮助,因此所有操作都是远程完成的。

共有人Alf Sparacino说:“在安装过程中,我们基本上交付了八个集装箱。” “与我的兄弟(乔)和我的一个儿子一起,我们都将自己组装在一起。然后,我们派出了一支电工团队,将它们全部连接起来。情况截然不同。Reemoon的支持也非常好。语言上有些障碍,但是他们的支持很棒。我们花了很长的时间在互联网和视频通话上,但是我们对他们的支持感到非常满意,因为COVID发生的一切都在所有人的手中-19。”

该公司以前的分级机已有20年历史,新技术已开始提供一些主要好处,尤其是瑕疵和颜色分类系统。

他说:“有了柑橘,我们的准确率达到了95%。” “因此,我们对此感到非常满意。我们在旧系统上进行了着色和瑕疵处理,但是在新系统上,我们的产量可能翻了一番。尽管如此,我们每小时可以放10吨(水果),这就是我们很舒服。”

仍有一些微调,当边界最终开放并允许商务旅行时,将需要一名现场工程师来中国访问。

Sparacino先生说:“鳄梨的等级仍然需要一些调整。” “他们在互联网上看到的图像与您在现场看到的图像有所不同。它们基本上也需要通过系统才能通过。但是它们的支持非常出色。瑕疵分级的重要性在于我们可以进行多个等级如果我们是手工分类的,那么您只能选择多少个等级,我在计算机上设置的程序中,有些程序有5-6个等级和3-4种不同的颜色。使用该分类系统是无止境的。”

Reemoon成立于2001年,其系统可以适应收获后的许多领域,包括质量,视觉,重量,颜色,密度和缺陷分类。

Sparacino先生说:“ Joe去了Asia Fruit Logistica,并遇到了Reemoon。” “他们几次来过我们,我们去了中国,我们对所见所闻感到满意。我们认为他们的系统比任何人的系统都好或更好,而且价格要好得多。”

6月至1月是该行业的高峰时间,但由于干旱影响了该州的过去两年,今年的收成比往年要少一些。

升级平地机的另一个原因是,Sparacino农场有望在未来两个季节内将其果园面积超过300英亩的农作物产量提高一倍。

他说:“我们从1973年开始运营,现在已经进入第三代。” “我们从最初占地65英亩的果园开始,现在我们在中央海岸和(新南威尔士州)里维纳纳地区里顿的300英亩土地上种植。40%的产量是橙子,40%的柠檬,鳄梨和20%的鳄梨,虽然我们正在种植更多的鳄梨,但鳄梨和柠檬都在中央海岸,这里有橘子橘子等特色品种,例如位于里顿的Dekopon。Sparacino Farms - Reemoon Fruit Sorting Machine


COVID-19 has provided many challenges for fresh produce companies in 2020, but one Australian avocado and citrus producer has self-installed its new fruit sorting machine over a video call.


Sparacino Farms, on the New South Wales Central Coast, this year set up the Reemoon technology systems in the company's packing shed. Due to travel restrictions, the Chinese company was unable to access the site to provide assistance so it was all done remotely.

"For the installation process we basically had eight containers delivered," co-owner Alf Sparacino said. "Along with my brother (Joe), and one of my sons we all pretty put it together ourselves. We then had a team of electricians come in and wire it all up. It was very different. Reemoon's support has been really good also. There is a bit of a language barrier, but their support has been awesome. We have spent some long days over the internet and video calls, but we are really happy with their support. It's just out of everyone's hands with what has happened with COVID-19."


The company's previous grader was 20 years old and the new technology is starting to provide some major benefits, especially with the blemish and colour sorting system.

"With citrus, we are getting 95 per cent accuracy," he said. "So, we are very happy with it. We did colour and blemish on our old system, but with the new system, we have probably doubled our production. We can probably put 10 tonnes (of fruit) an hour though, which is what we are comfortable doing."

There is still some fine-tuning, which will need an on-site engineer to visit from China when the borders finally open up and allow for business travel, once again.

"The avocado grading still needs some adjustment," Mr Sparacino said. "The images that they see over the internet are different from what you see live. They basically need to come out and go through the system as well. But their support has been amazing. The importance of blemish grading is that we can do multiple grades. If we are hand-sorting, you are limited as to how many grades you can do. The programs that I have set up on our computer, some of them have 5-6 grades, and 3-4 different colours. What you can do with that sorting system is endless."

Reemoon was established in 2001 and has systems that cater to many areas of post-harvest, including quality, visual, weight, colour, density and defect sorting.

"Joe went over to Asia Fruit Logistica, and met Reemoon," Mr Sparacino said. "They have visited us on a few occasions, and we went to China and we were happy with what we saw. We thought their system was as good or better than anyone else's, and the price is much better."

June to January is the peak time for the business, but this year the crop was a little smaller than previous years, due to the drought that has impacted the state over the past two years.


Another reason for the upgrade of the grader is that Sparacino Farms is expected to double its production in coming two seasons, with over 300 acres of orchard.

"We've been operating since 1973 and are now in our third generation," he said. "We start with this original orchard of 65 acres, now we are farming over 300 acres here on the Central Coast and in Leeton in the Riverina region (of NSW). 40 per cent (of production) is oranges, 40 per cent lemons, and 20 per cent avocados. We are planting more avocados though. Avocados and lemons are here on the Central Coast, with oranges and speciality mandarin varieties, such as Dekopon down in Leeton."
