Technical Problem

Existing multi-size apple screening machines often result in apples being bruised and difficult to clean after screening, especially for larger apples, where bruising is unavoidable and juice residue makes it difficult to remove dirt.

Method used

A multi-size apple screening machine was designed. By pulling the top rod with a pull plate to press the second spring, the top rod is disengaged from the collar, thereby removing the buffer plate for maintenance or replacement. The pull rod drives the clamping plate to move so that the screening roller can be removed for cleaning or replacement. Combined with the brake motor driving the rotating plate to rotate, the screening function is realized.
