Vegetables and Fruits Industry
High-precision weighing and testing technology
Fruits and vegetables are highly perishable, often moist, and prone to damage during handling and transport. Vegetables typically require precise portion control through fixed-weight weighing, while fruits demand both fixed-weight weighing and weight-based grading to ensure consistent size and quality. The need for accurate metal detection is also critical to prevent contamination from processing equipment.
Key subcategories include leafy greens, tomatoes, root vegetables, apples, citrus fruits, and berries—each with unique sorting and grading challenges. Efficient, gentle handling combined with stringent traceability and quality control is essential to extend shelf life and meet regulatory standards in competitive fresh produce markets.

Industry Challenges
Short Shelf Life
High perishability demands fast, accurate weighing and grading to reduce spoilage and waste.
Moisture and Slippery Surfaces
Wet products cause weighing errors and conveyor slippage, affecting sorting accuracy.
Delicate Product Handling
Fruits and leafy vegetables bruise easily; rough handling leads to quality degradation and returns.
Weight-Based Sorting Complexity
Fruits require precise weight grading to meet market size standards and pricing tiers.
Metal Contamination Risk
Processing equipment may introduce metal debris; reliable detection is critical to ensure food safety.
Application Scenarios
To overcome key challenges in the fruit and vegetable sector, Samegram offers advanced checkweighers in food processing that ensure precise portion control and minimize waste. Our weight sorter machines efficiently grade produce by size and weight, while combination scales provide high-speed weighing and sorting integration for delicate items. The checkweigher combination system streamlines multi-step inspection processes, improving throughput without compromising accuracy. For enhanced safety, combination metal detection and checkweigher systems reliably identify contaminants, safeguarding product quality and compliance. These solutions optimize efficiency, reduce losses, and maintain quality in fast-paced fresh produce lines.

Vegetables and Fruits Industry Success Stories
SameGram offers an all-in-one system designed specifically for the Vegetables and Fruits industry
Gentle weighing protects fragile fruit quality
"We export delicate citrus fruits and berries to Europe, and rough handling used to bruise products during sorting.Since using Samegram's precision checkweigher with soft conveyor handling, we’ve eliminated product damage during weighing.
Now, our fruits arrive in perfect shape, and claims from retailers have dropped by 80%."
Carlos Muñoz
Quality Control Manager at a Fresh Produce Exporter in Murcia, Spain
Fixed-weight vegetable packs, no more overfil
"We sell mixed vegetable packs in fixed-weight formats across supermarkets in Singapore. Overfilling used to be our way to stay safe—but it cost us a lot.
Samegram’s combination weigher now gives us exact 300g packs with ±1g accuracy.Our profit margins improved instantly, and customers are happy with consistent quality."
Lim Wei Chen

Real-time grading makes root crop exports easier
"Our carrots and potatoes vary wildly in size. We needed weight-based grading that could keep up with high output and adapt to each crop. Samegram’s multi-grade sorting machine helped us triple throughput and meet EU sizing regulations.
It’s automated, traceable, and makes our export quality fully auditable."
