Grader for Blueberries
The ASM Machinery blueberry grader is a fully automated sorting machine designed specifically for blueberries, utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) for defect detection. Backed by EU-funded research, the ASM sorter offers a gentle handling process to prevent mechanical damage to the delicate fruit, with capacities ranging from 700 kg to 1.5 tons per hour. It features an intuitive user interface allowing one operator to control sorting based on parameters such as size, ripeness, and multiple defect types like scars, decay, mold, and peeling. The compact machine design facilitates easy maintenance, cleaning, and remote or on-site expert support, maximizing sorting precision and productivity while minimizing labor needs.
ASM Machinery (asm-machinery.eu) specializes in this advanced sorting technology developed through a four-year project with extensive R&D expertise. Their sorting software uses AI-trained classifiers based on thousands of real examples, enabling superior defect detection that enhances production quality and reduces waste. This proprietary technology is combined with a mechanical solution optimized for blueberry sorting. ASM has global experience operating over 80 machines on five continents, sorting over 250 billion blueberries, reflecting strong domain expertise and customer-driven innovation in fruit sorting.
