ABSTRACT:
A fruit sizing apparatus includes a guideway having an inclined surface extending from a base to a peak with a first channel adjacent to the peak and a second channel adjacent to the base. First and second endless moving belts are supported in part by the first and second channels respectively. The first and second belts are driven at different speeds. A roller is spaced apart from the guideway and rotates in a direction tending to cause fruit to roll up the inclined surface. Additional belts can be provided for improved performance. A washing system over the apparatus cleans the apparatus using fan sprays of water.
