Fruit Quality Ultrasound Evaluation

This technology is an online ultrasound detection system for fruit quality, specifically to determine the status of the columella using ultrasound. The system is installed directly to the process line and according to the ultrasound signals received from the different layers of the fruit. It is capable of determine the characteristics of the center of the fruit.
