ULTRA DELICATE HANDLING

The ELIFAB Berry Class is built around the ULTRA delicate handling of your product. It uses specially designed silicon curtains that gently reduce speed, while keeping the fruit separated. By developing the lowest transfer height throughout the whole process in the industry, we have achieved the most delicate handling of your blueberries. These advantages result in low to no impact on the blueberries, making sure they retain their essential bloom.

AUTOMATIC CLEANING & SANITIZING
The Berry Class can automatically sanitize itself, avoiding the contamination of healthy blueberries. Strict hygiene and sanitation standards are met to ensure your berries retain their quality and value. The static brushes are set in contact with the chain during cleaning time, which can run while in production. In addition, an automatic deep cleaning program can be run at the end of a shift by using dry steam to remove accumulated dirt from the rollers and also an air supply for drying them.
UNRIVALLED COLOUR & DEFECT SORTING
Our blueberry grading machine is equipped with vision technology of ELLIPS. TrueSort™ software uses high resolution cameras taking a total of 30 images per single blueberry, guaranteeing an excellent level of accuracy. This results in near-perfect size and colour separation and highly accurate sorting on defects such as softness, bruising, cell breakdown, shriveling and compression damages.
THE FASTEST BLUEBERRY GRADER IN THE INDUSTRY

The BerryClass is the fastest sorting machine in the industry. Each lane can process 45 fruit pockets (rollers) per second, allowing high productivity while maintaining world class accuracy. Taking into account an average weight of 1.9 grams per blueberry and a cup fill of 65%, the productivity is 200 kilograms per hour per lane.
