Garlic grading machine

The commercial garlic grading machine uses round holes on the drum to classify garlic. It offers high sorting accuracy without damaging the bulbs, with a capacity of 3–6 tons per hour.

This machine can be used for screening and grading various materials, such as garlic, onion, apples, potatoes, and others.

The commercial garlic sorting machine is mainly composed of a hoist and a sorting machine, and the size of the sieving machine can be customized. The entire machine is made of silicone material, allowing it to directly contact the fruit without damaging it, as it is round and smooth.

This grading machine has been exported to Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, India, Thailand, Italy, and other countries.

Features of garlic sorting machine

• This commercial garlic sorting machine can classify a variety of round materials. Such as potatoes, walnuts, hawthorn, apples, onions, and other round or oval materials.
• The size of the grading can be customized.
• Commercial garlic grader machinery is mainly composed of a hoist and grading equipment, with a high degree of automation.
• The conveyor belt of the machine adopts step-less speed regulation, which can freely control the speed of conveying garlic.
• This drum-type fruit grading machine adopts bell-mouth sorting, which makes the sorting hole spacing more standardized.
• The screening part of the drum adopts silica gel to directly contact the raw materials without damaging them.
• With high sorting accuracy, the machine can grade garlic into standard sizes of 4.5 cm, 5.0 cm, 5.5 cm, 6.0 cm, 6.5 cm, and above 6.5 cm. Custom sizes are also available upon request.
• The grading screen is made of PVC mesh, and the feeding table is equipped with brushes to ensure the garlic is not damaged.
• The garlic grading machine offers multiple grading levels. Depending on the processing scale, you can choose 2, 3, 4, or 5 grades, which greatly improves primary garlic processing efficiency.

The working principle of the commercial garlic grading machine

The machine uses a lifting conveyor to feed garlic into the grading machine. The garlic moves along the conveyor into a grading drum with round holes of increasing sizes. During sorting, garlic falls gradually into the corresponding collection containers by size and then passes through the discharge outlet into packing bags, achieving automated grading and collection.

Structure of the garlic sorting machine

The garlic sorting machine mainly consists of a lifting system, a conveying system, a grading device, a collection system, and a control system.

Lifting system

Machine: Belt elevator

Function: Lifts garlic from the ground or feed inlet to the working height of the grading machine, ensuring continuous feeding

Conveying system

Machine: Chain conveyor

Function: Evenly transports garlic to the grading drum or grading wheel

Grading device

Machine: Round-hole drum sieve

Function: Holes increase in size from small to large, sorting garlic by size

Collection system

Machine: Hopper

Function: Collects garlic of different sizes separately

Control system

Machine: PLC intelligent control box

Function: Controls the entire machine operation, including motor start/stop and conveyor speed adjustment

Garlic grading machine ROI analysis

After purchasing a garlic grading machine, it is important to consider its return on investment (ROI). The ROI can be evaluated from several aspects: cost input, increased output, labor savings, and added product value. Here, we assume a small to medium-sized garlic paste processing factory with a daily processing capacity of about 4 tons. The above prices are for reference only and do not reflect actual purchase costs.

Revenue from increased output

• Original daily output value: 4 tons × $1,000 = $4,000
• Efficiency increase 5% → Additional output value: $4,000 × 5% = $200/day
• Monthly added value (25 days): $200 × 25 = $5,000

Labor savings

• Monthly labor cost savings: $500

Monthly net profit

• Monthly added value + labor savings – operating cost
• $5,000 + $500 – $2,500 = $3,000/month

Investment payback period

• Total investment: $10,000 + $1,000 = $11,000
• Monthly net profit: $3,000
• Payback period = $11,000 ÷ $3,000 ≈ 3.7 months

Conclusion

Under these assumptions, the garlic grading machine can pay back in about 4 months. After that, the increased output and labor savings almost entirely convert to profit, giving a very high return on investment.
