Discover how Elifab grades your produce

Make every piece of fruit and vegetable count, season after season.

Extract the most value from every harvest by choosing the fastest, most reliable and most accurate grading machines around. Elifab engineering ensures maximum uptime, consistent quality and the highest throughput – regardless of the produce quality or customer demands.

Fast, accurate grading 


Keep up with all your customer demands.

Speed is everything at harvest time, but you need confidence it never comes at the cost of accuracy. With Elifab grading machines, you get the best of all worlds with maximum throughput, consistency quality and accurate defect detection all-in-one, giving you the edge over competitors. Now you can meet all your specific customer demands with ease, whilst always staying at peak productivity.

Delicate handling 


Gentle handling for all your delicate produce.

Speed is everything, but never at the expense of your delicate produce. It’s why the Elifab grading machine has a silicon curtain that’s able to maintain speed while keeping the fruit separated. Add this feature to lowest transfer height throughout the whole process, and it achieves the most delicate handling with little or no impact on your soft fruit.

Consistent quality at high speed 


Guaranteed consistency, no manual checking

The quality of a harvest varies every season, as do the defects present – but Elifab grading machines handles them all with ease. Grade every single piece of produce for near-perfect size, color separation, and world-leading quality grading. Not only does this ensure you get the most from every batch – it eliminates manual quality control.

I highly recommend anyone serious about packing high-quality boxes of cherries to consider Elifab machines. The performance of this machine has exceeded our expectations.
