MAF RODA presents its main innovations, among which new sizer CHERRYWAY 4 which changes market with its licensed system of rotation in 4 ways.

MAF Roda Agrobotic presents its sizers and main innovations at Stand 10-D09, Hall 10 where it’s possible to see how quality analyze tests are done on the wide range of fruits with GLOBALSCAN 7 and also to discover the new sizer CHERRYWAY 4 in action.

Fructidor.com met Mr Fabrice Blanc, General Director of MAF AGROBOTIC who shared innovations presented at the show and different project of the company.

New sizer CHERRYWAY 4 is presented in action. This sizer changes market with its licensed system of rotation in 4 ways which allows to observe all the surface of a fruit. The machine is equipped with the upgraded system CherryScan allowing to direct cherry. Double cone in 2 parts rotates cherry and cameras can visualize all the surface of a fruit. This system exclusive to MAF Roda improves significantly process of defects detection.

This better performance of defects detection is a serious advantage for clients of MAF RODA. Especially like for Gebbers Farms which grows cherries in the state Washington in the USA and equipped with machine with 24 lines.

Very satisfied American company estimates that results are significant.

MAF RODA also presents BerryScan and BerryWay, machines and systems for blueberries. Not having peduncle blueberries don’t need innovation in rotation and turning in comparison to cherries.

Robotics Department based in Montauban (France) was created 6 years ago and still designs machines for automatic packing of fruits. Demand is very high. There is also a system for packing apples without dimples, robot can orient the pink side of a two-colored apple towards the top or orient the stem axis of the apple.

Another innovation that will be soon on sale: the machine for sorting and grading dates. This sizer for dates allows to weight and rotate fruit to define its defects. This is the main achievement in comparison to machines proposed by competitors. MAF RODA installed a machine in Israel to make production testing. Mechanical part is about to be validated and from the end of the season the machine can be sold worldwide.

R&D Department predicts in the near future a sizer for potatoes, cleaned and in soil.

Concerning other vegetables, machines for sorting and grading of onions also were improved a lot because growers of onions want perfect quality interior and exterior. MAF RODA offers machines that can detect red onions as well as internal and external defects. System IDD8 based on spectrometry and Insight system with light that enters inside the product succeed to control interior and exterior quality.
