[0002] Noni fruit belongs to the Morinda genus of Rubiaceae family. It is the fruit of an evergreen shrub or small tree. Noni fruit is known as the "fruit of life" because it is rich in various vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. It can help enhance immunity, improve digestion, promote metabolism, and even help fight inflammation and aging. Noni fruit needs to be manually sorted during processing and then washed.

[0003] In existing technologies, manual sorting and cleaning are completed on two separate machines, which occupy space and require transferring the sorted noni fruit to the cleaning machine, which is cumbersome and time-consuming. Therefore, we have proposed an automatic noni fruit sorting and cleaning integrated machine to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
