Service formats for apple packing facilities
One optical sorting module added to an existing conveyor line. Includes camera calibration, belt speed matching, and operator training for your current staff. Best for facilities testing automation on a single lane before scaling further.
See starter setupTwo to four sorting lanes with shared infeed and outfeed conveyors. Covers defect detection, size grading, and color separation in one pass. Includes layout planning, floor anchoring, and a two-week on-site commissioning window.
Review guided setupEnd-to-end integration from bin dumping to packing stations. Conveyor belts, elevators, sorters, and reject chutes are synchronized through one control panel. Includes spare parts inventory planning and a maintenance schedule tailored to your shift pattern.
Explore full packageModernizing older sorting equipment with new sensors, updated software, or replacement belts. We audit your current line, identify bottlenecks, and swap components without stopping production for more than a weekend. Suitable for lines running five seasons or more.
Talk to our engineersFacility leads across Selangor and beyond share how automated sorting changed their daily workflow, staffing needs, and output consistency.
We installed the optical sorter on our Grade A line in March. Within two weeks, the reject rate dropped by a third and the night shift went from four sorters to one supervisor. The camera calibration took a day, and the team picked it up faster than expected.
The stainless steel conveyor section we added handles the wet zone without rust spots or belt slippage. Cleaning now takes twenty minutes instead of an hour, and the washdown crew no longer worries about corrosion near the rinse station.
We started with a single sorting module on the smaller line to test throughput. After three months, we ordered two more units for the main packing hall. The phased approach meant no downtime during peak harvest, and the data reports helped justify the next purchase.
What sold me was the service schedule. They mapped out belt tension checks, sensor cleaning intervals, and spare part lead times before we signed anything. Six months in, we have not had an unplanned stop on the conveyor line.
Why facilities choose Pepipommes
Every machine we install is matched to the throughput, fruit size range, and floor layout of your facility. The benefits below are the ones our clients in Selangor and Johor mention most often after the first season.
Optical sorters with multi-lane infeed handle up to 15 tons of apples per hour without slowing down for size or color checks. That means fewer staff on the grading table and more fruit reaching the packing station before the cool chain breaks.
Laser scanners and high-speed cameras pick up bruising, stem damage, and skin blemishes that manual graders overlook after hour three of a shift. The sorter removes those fruit before they reach the carton, so your export batches stay consistent.
Stainless steel conveyor belts with soft transfer points reduce drop height between sections. Apples arrive at the packing table with fewer impact marks, which matters when you are shipping to buyers who grade on appearance.
Preset sorting profiles let your operator switch from export-grade Fuji to domestic-grade Gala in under two minutes. No recalibration of sensors, no manual re-sorting of the reject lane, just a new profile loaded from the control panel.
Our conveyor drives and sorter modules are sized to your actual line speed, not a generic spec sheet. Facilities that switched from older equipment report a measurable drop in electricity draw during peak packing months.
When a sorter goes down in the middle of harvest week, you need a technician who knows the machine and your line layout. Our service team keeps spare sensor modules and belt sections in stock for the models we install across Malaysia.
