Our Polish customer previously ordered an automatic cucumber sizing and packaging line from us, which has been operating very well. They subsequently ordered an automatic tomato basket emptying system to improve the efficiency of their tomato sorting line. We are very grateful for their continued trust in us.


In the tomato processing industry, basket emptying has always been a critical step influencing production efficiency and product quality throughout the entire process, from field harvesting to subsequent sorting, cleaning, and processing. Traditional manual basket emptying not only consumes a significant amount of labor but also suffers from numerous issues, such as high tomato damage rates, low operational efficiency, and difficulty ensuring hygiene and safety. This has severely hampered the industry's scale and standardization. The emergence of JCSORT's automatic basket emptying equipment has revolutionized this situation, injecting new vitality into the tomato processing industry and becoming a key force driving its transformation and upgrading.

Tomatoes, a delicate agricultural product, require extremely precise handling during the basket emptying process. Traditional manual emptying requires workers to manually carry baskets filled with tomatoes and then empty them into subsequent processing equipment. This method is labor-intensive, requiring workers to perform repetitive, high-intensity movements for extended periods, leading to fatigue and reduced efficiency. Furthermore, the force and angle of manual emptying are difficult to precisely control, and tomatoes can easily collide with baskets and equipment during emptying, causing skin damage, deformation, and other issues, significantly reducing the marketability of tomatoes.


Furthermore, manual operation poses health and safety risks. Workers' hands, when handling tomatoes, if not thoroughly cleaned, can easily introduce bacteria and impurities into the tomatoes, compromising their hygienic quality and making it difficult to meet the strict hygiene standards of the food processing industry. Furthermore, manual emptying is erratic, hindering efficient coordination with upstream harvesting and downstream sorting and processing equipment. Baskets often pile up or equipment sits idle, disrupting the entire production process and severely impacting the company's productivity.

To address these industry pain points, the JCSORT automatic tomato basket emptying machine, with its advanced technology and innovative design, provides a perfect solution. With significant advantages such as high automation, minimal damage, high production capacity, and easy cleaning, this equipment effectively addresses the shortcomings of traditional basket emptying methods, becoming a crucial tool for tomato processing companies to enhance their competitiveness.

The JCSORT automatic tomato basket emptying machine utilizes an advanced PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and servo control system, coupled with precise pneumatic components, to fully automate the entire process from basket loading, emptying, and collection. The machine can automatically detect basket position based on pre-set parameters according to production requirements, precisely controlling the emptying angle and speed without manual intervention. This automated design not only reduces manual emptying and handling, reducing worker workload, but also significantly reduces reliance on human operators.


For example, at a medium-sized tomato processing company, the traditional manual emptying process required eight to ten workers in shifts. However, with the introduction of the JCSORT automatic basket emptying machine, only one to two workers are required to monitor and assist with the operation, reducing labor costs by over 80%. Furthermore, automated operation eliminates operator fatigue, ensuring 24-hour continuous and stable operation, further improving production efficiency.
