About the Citrus Vision Grading & Waxing Plant.
The OG 5000 is a complete, integrated fruit processing solution designed for citrus handling at 5 TPH capacity. The system incorporates washing, brushing, food-grade waxing, drying, and vision-based grading into a single continuous processing line.
The process begins with manual or bin-tip feeding onto an infeed conveyor with controlled singulation. Fruits pass through a stainless steel washing section with high-efficiency spray nozzles, then a brushing section with multiple cylindrical rotary brushes (soft nylon and horse hair) synchronized with conveyor speed. After rinsing, sponge rollers and air knives remove surface water before wax application.
The precision wax application uses food-grade citrus waxes with controlled dosage for a thin, uniform coating that enhances visual appeal, reduces moisture loss, and extends shelf life. Fruits then pass through an insulated drying tunnel (35-45°C, 60-120 seconds) with forced recirculated airflow and zoned heating.
The heart of the system is the OG 5000 Vision Grading Machine, advanced computer vision with multiple high-resolution industrial cameras that measure diameter (±1mm), colour, shape, maturity, and external defects in real time. Fruits are automatically sorted into multiple grades for export and domestic markets.
Guides for choosing and running this kind of machine.
Before you enquire.
What does the Citrus Vision Grading & Waxing Plant do?
Complete citrus processing line with washing, waxing, drying, and vision-based grading. Model OG 5000 for oranges, kinnow, mandarin, and sweet lime at 5 TPH.
What is the capacity of the Citrus Vision Grading & Waxing Plant?
5 TPH (22,000-25,000 fruits/hr). Capacity is the figure to size against your daily volume, so tell us your peak hour rather than your average and we will confirm the right model.
What is the Citrus Vision Grading & Waxing Plant made from?
Stainless steel / food-grade. Where the line is washed down or an auditor will look at it, say so when you enquire and we will confirm the right specification.
Can the Citrus Vision Grading & Waxing Plant be customised for our products?
Yes. Grading parameters can be configured for different varieties, sizes and market requirements, and the machine can be built to fit the room you already have. Tell us the product, the throughput you need and the space available.
What is the lead time for the Citrus Vision Grading & Waxing Plant?
Standard machines take 4 to 8 weeks from order confirmation to dispatch. Custom-engineered machines and complete plants take 8 to 16 weeks depending on complexity. Installation and commissioning take a further 1 to 2 weeks on site, and you get a dated project timeline at the quotation stage.
Do you install and commission the machine?
Yes. Factory-trained engineers travel to your site, install the machine, connect it to your existing line, calibrate it and test it. Operator training usually takes 3 to 5 days.
What after-sales support is included?
Spare parts supply, technical support by phone and WhatsApp, on-site repair, and Annual Maintenance Contracts. AMC customers get priority support, scheduled preventive maintenance visits and discounted parts.
