The first successful combination
pear and apple grader to be manu
factured in the Pacific northwest
1 owned and operated by the, New
bry and Sons packing plant ftt
Phoenix. It 1b produced by the
Cutler Manufacturing company - of
Portland, and gives perfect sizing
of fruit, with the maximum protec
tion to pears against "bin bruises."
even the most delicate skinned va
rieties. The sizing by, the machine is done
by weight, giving uniform grading
and speed, to a higher degree than
the human band and eye.
The pears, after the sizing, roll
into a rotary type of bin, eliminat
ing any drop with resultant bruises.
They revolve at a speed of two revo
lutions per minute, and lower auto
matically with the increased weight
in the bins. Each bin has a ca
pacity of approximately seven boxes
of packed fruit. Ng matter how
fast the pears come, they can not
accumulate in the bin. All "pulling'
down" Is eliminated. Tills Is,- an
attractive feature in handling Co
mice and D'AnJou varieties, as they
are thln-sklnncd and more subject
to stem punctures and bruises.
The same process Is employed by
Newbry and Sons in the handling ol
apples. They have 16 bins on each
grader.
Another feature of the grader is
that it gives a highly uniform pnek.
The new grader has attracted con
siderable local attention among or
chard Ist.s nnd shippers.
