The KW Automation Rockmelon grading line incorporates a hydraulic bin tipper which fills an accumulator and feed conveyor unit. This feeds into the brush-wash-polishing unit which includes spray bars and brush moisture flicker bars to aide in removing water in the final brushing stage. The brush unit feeds the melons into the gas drying unit which has roller conveyor speed and gas heat controls to allow for adjustment and optional drying levels as required. After this process, the fruit is fed into an inspection conveyor which includes a reject or seconds fruit lane and outlet chute. The fruit is fed into a pre grading singulator then onto the 8 size grader where the fruit is distributed into its allocated bin which is dependent on its individual weight, as each outlet has been set-up for each weight division required for final packing.
