Starter Service Kit

February 2025 Pepipommes Service Team

The Starter Service Kit is the entry point for apple processing facilities that are ready to move beyond manual sorting but are not yet committed to a full automated line. It bundles the essential components needed to evaluate optical sorting on a single conveyor section, without reworking the entire floor plan.

What is included in the kit is deliberately narrow: one sorting module with a stainless steel frame, a calibration set for the optical sensors, and a two-day on-site session where our technicians run test batches through your existing line. The goal is to give your operators measurable data on defect detection rates and throughput before you decide on a wider rollout.

This matters in the Malaysian context because humidity and fruit variety affect how sensors read color and surface texture. A kit that works in a temperate climate may need different calibration settings here. The Starter Service Kit accounts for that with a local calibration profile and a written report at the end of the session.

The kit is not a scaled-down version of a larger system. It is a diagnostic tool with a clear scope: one conveyor section, one week of preparation, and one documented result. If the numbers look right, the next step is a guided setup option that extends the same approach to additional lines. If they do not, you have a clear picture of what needs to change before investing further.

For facilities that already run partial automation, the kit also works as a benchmark. It gives you a reference point for comparing your current sorting accuracy against a calibrated baseline, which is useful when negotiating maintenance contracts or planning seasonal upgrades.

If you are unsure whether the Starter Service Kit fits your line configuration, contact our team with your conveyor width and current sorting volume. We will confirm compatibility before you commit to a session.
