Optical fruit sorting machinery is a type of equipment used in the food processing industry to sort and grade fruits based on their size, shape, color, and other quality parameters. The machinery uses optical sensors and image processing technology to scan the fruits and sort them into different categories based on pre-determined criteria.

The optical fruit sorting machinery typically includes a conveyor system that moves the fruits through the sorting process, a lighting system to illuminate the fruits, and multiple high-speed cameras to capture images of the fruits from different angles. The images are then analyzed by software algorithms to determine the quality parameters and sort the fruits into different categories.
