When you choose sorting equipment for your fruit packaging plant, what factors do you consider? Most customers would like to choose a grading machine that is efficient in sorting speed and accurate without hurting the fruit. In fact, the material of the machine is also very important when choosing fruit processing equipment.

Fstsort fruit sorting machines are generally made of stainless steel or mild steel. As we all know, stainless steel is more beautiful, durable and anti-corrosion. In fact, it's not just these advantages.

Both are made up of carbon and iron, however stainless steel adds a third element – chromium – that provides its rust resistance. The use of stainless steel for the fruit grading machine is also more hygienic and cleaner.

In the past, most of our sorting machines were made of carbon steel, but in recent years we have gradually started to choose stainless steel. This change is mainly made according to the needs of customers. The benefits that stainless provides for post-harvest equipment (improved hygiene, greater elemental resistance, etc.) add up to a better product, and the higher initial cost is offset by the ease of maintenance and longer equipment lifespan. With the majority of our customers being in the food industry, hygiene standards are their top priority.

The price of stainless steel may increase the price of the final product, but the additional investment will always lead to higher quality equipment. In the long run, the customer's return on investment will be higher.
