Development of an Automated Ordering and Packing Units for Sweet Persimmons

단감 자동정렬 포장장치 개발


Abstract

The sweet persimmons are producted 227,394 tons per year in Korea. They are preserved at cold storage after wrapping them in packing vinyl to maintain quality. Using conventional handwork, a skillful worker could probably produce only 1,000 packings a day. Hiring many skilled-labors to wrap sweet persimmons in packing vinyl seems to be difficult because of the recent rural crisis. Therefore, it was necessary to be developed for the automated ordering and packing unit that is convenient and laborsaving. This study were summarized as follows : Success rates of 99%, 100%, and 88% were observed for ordering parts, sealing and cutting films, and sealing films in the inlet part, respectively. The time required per 1 cycle was 16 seconds and the developed unit performed 225 cycles an hour. The unit showed an ability of 1,125 pieces per hour. Therefore, the productivity was 10 times greater than that of skillful handwork.
