ABSTRACT:
A fruit grader comprising a plurality of belts which diverge away from a loading station and which overlie parallel and closely spaced transverse belts, all the belts being of a soft resilient elastomer, and where encountered by the fruit, being between supports so that they are easily deflected, thereby firstly limiting damage to the fruit due to impact and secondly limiting damage which can otherwise be caused by bounce when the direction of travel of the fruit is changed from longitudinal to transvers, bounce being inhibited due to the fruit entering the valleys between adjacent spaced parallel transverse belts.
