Advanced kiwi grading

360° precision grading

Whatever the size or shape of your kiwis, the Elisam kiwi grading machine handles them all. Its unique rotating carrier creates a 360° view of each kiwi, allowing you to analyze the entire surface for quality characteristics and defects such as sunburn, skin cracks, russet, shape related defects, scar tissue, rot, firmness, softness and more


Kiwi quality grading

A heavyweight in weighing

The Elisam kiwi sorting machine volumetrically weighs every orange at high-speed using images from advanced cameras. Our unique Ellips TrueSort™ software also monitors the average product weight and capacity per hour.

It all measures up

Every kiwi rotates under the camera as 40 images are taken to measure the entire surface. This lets the kiwi sorting machine calculate the precise diameter, length and surface area. It will also recognize shape related defects or doubles (2 kiwis in 1 cup).
Kiwi size sorting

Grade every color

Ultrafine color separations are created using TrueSort™ software allowing operators to quickly create or modify color profiles. Then using live feedback from the cameras, the kiwi color is accurately graded with the Elisam AI kiwi grader.

End-to-end traceability
