OrangeMech’s drum type sorting machine is specially designed for volume grading of fruits and vegetables. Materials are fed into the rotating drum via the lifting hopper, tumble forward along with drum rotation, and sieve through in sequence into collection hoppers based on the principle of gradually increasing aperture sizes. Featuring mechanical screening, the machine supports long hour continuous production. As professional drum type sorting machine manufacturers, we can tailor exclusive solutions to meet your requirements.
Product advantages
Save on labor costs
Equipped with automatic lifting feeding mechanism, materials are fed into grading drums automatically without manual feeding to cut labor intervention. The drum type sorting machine adapts to long‑hour continuous production in factories.
Corrosion‑Resistant Components
The lifting section and material‑contact frames are made of stainless steel to resist corrosion from fruit juice and humid conditions. Sturdy and durable, it is easy to flush and maintain.
Compact Space‑Saving Structure
Integrated with feeding, drum sorting and material collecting functions, the compact unit saves workshop space and enables easy connection to production lines.
Replaceable PP Grading Drums
Made of food‑grade PP, the drums are wear‑resistant, corrosion‑resistant and detachable. Drums with different apertures can be quickly swapped to sort fruits and vegetables of various specifications. As fruit grading machine manufacturers, we provide drum accessories of multiple aperture sizes.
Support Variable‑Frequency Speed Control
A frequency converter is optional. Operators can adjust the speed of drums and conveyors based on produce features and actual output requirements for optimal sorting performance.
Wide Compatibility for Various Materials
It conducts volume grading for round and oval produce such as longan, citrus, tomato, jujube, onion and potato. It satisfies multi‑variety sorting requirements for planting bases and processing plants.

Product application
◉ Deep-Processing Enterprises for Fruits & Vegetables: During the pre-processing stage for products like dried fruits and veggie crisps, it is used to precisely grade raw materials such as apples, dates, and longans. This ensures standardized operations in subsequent slicing and pitting processes, thereby improving the yield rate.
◉ Post-Harvest Agricultural Processing Centers: Serving as key equipment for post-harvest commercialization, it rapidly grades cash crops like citrus, melons, and tomatoes. By packaging them uniformly according to size specifications, it enhances the market value-added and brand consistency of agricultural products.
◉ Fresh-Cut Vegetable Processing & Distribution Centers：Integrating the drum type sorting machine into automated production lines, it efficiently sorts root vegetables like potatoes, onions, and garlic. It removes oversized or undersized individual items, ensuring that the vegetables delivered to supermarkets and catering clients have uniform specifications.
