A heavyweight in weighing

The GranTorino kiwi grading machine volumetrically weighs every kiwi at high-speed using images from advanced cameras. Our unique 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 machine calculate the precise diameter, length and surface area. It will also recognize shape related defects or doubles (2 kiwis in 1 cup).
