Turnip crops can be picked from 40 to 90 days after seed planting. Post-harvest treatment of turnip tubers will affect the yield and quality. This is very important considering that turnip tubers are an easily and quickly damaged produce.
Radishes should be collected in the shade and not exposed to direct sunlight. Turnip transport must be done correctly and carefully so that turnip tubers remain intact and fresh.
In order to prevent damage, proper handling is required by paying attention to postharvest techniques. For these purposes, it requires large equipment, means of rapid and gentle processing, and thus reducing the wage cost of labor.
After picking the radish activities mainly include cleaning, pre-sorting and grading, packaging and transportation.
Turnip tubers pulled from the soil are usually soiled. In addition, there are other parts of the plant, such as the stem, leaves or roots.Dirt and plant parts that adhere to tubers can also infect them and damage them during storage. Therefore, cleaning tubers is very important to facilitate subsequent treatment. The FstSort bubble cleaning machine is able to clean all impurities on the radish surface, ensuring that the radish is protected from pathogens during storage until the consumer.
The clean turnip tubers were then pre-sorted and graded. Pre-sorting turnip tubers that have been deformed and attacked by pests and diseases,this activity prevents the spread of disease from diseased or damaged tubers to healthy ones. The FstSort roller sorting table can automatically rotate the radish around for more efficient selection. After pre-sorting, tubers are grouped according to their size, and the result of grading is generally four to five grades. FstSort classifier can be used for fast and accurate classification without damage to turnip tubers.
The turnip after cleaning and sorting will also become more attractive, so buyers, middlemen, wholesalers and consumers are the first choice.
Of course, packaging is also a link that can not be ignored. The packaging is designed to protect the radish from mechanical damage caused by breakage, shock, and shaking during transportation. The packing case must be ventilated so that the air can flow smoothly and the temperature and humidity of the air in the packing case are not too high.
The above is the basic process of radish picking, mechanized processing, so that you are more efficient and labor-saving!
