The Cherry Sorter Has Made Great Progress
Technology February 18th. 2010, 6:49amThe cherry sorter has made modifications in the conveyor belt system to enable accurate sorting of cherries without causing damage to the delicate cherries. The conveyor belts are arranged with small drops to avoid bruising the cherries. However, enough room is left so that the cameras can get an accurate picture of the surface of the cherries. The cherries are slowed down by the conveyor belt in certain processes such as cutting to reduce the amount of damage sustained. In addition, the smaller sized arms help protect the cherries. The cherry sorter considers all aspects of the sorting process to provide undamaged cherries.
