Abstract: Excerpt from the report: Studies were conducted to investigate the properties and characteristics of apple fruits related to sizing, sorting, and filling them into boxes, utilizing water as the handling medium; and to design, construct, and evaluate various components on a pilot scale for a hydrohandling system. The findings provided basic information essential for the development of equipment for sorting and sizing apples destined for storage in pallet boxes.
