AI date sorting machine installed in a date factory — infeed conveyor and control screen

Sort your dates by camera and AI — one standard, from first fruit to last

The machine images every date from every side and grades it in a fraction of a second — the same standard at hour one and hour twelve.

What this machine gives you

Grading that never tires

Hand sorting drifts with fatigue and shift length. A camera applies the same standard all day, so the grades you promise are the grades you ship.

Less labour in the tightest season

One line replaces rows of hand-sorting tables and frees your people for packing when the harvest peaks.

More value from the same crop

Clean separation of first grade from second means every date sells at its own price, instead of dragging the whole batch down.

Varieties and applications

  • Khalas
  • Sukkari
  • Ajwa
  • Barhi
  • Saqai
  • Fresh / dry
  • Ringed and unringed dates

How it works

Dates feed onto a belt that spreads them into a single layer. Surround cameras capture every side of each fruit, and the AI reads colour, size, skin condition — attached, cracked, wrinkled — and apparent moisture. A precise air jet then diverts each date to its outlet: several quality grades, plus a separate reject for foreign matter, so palm leaves, stones and plastic leave the line before packing — alongside an additional return lane dedicated to rutab.

What you can configure

We build it around your factory — not a fixed model you take as it comes.

  • Outlets and grades: 6 to 12 outlets depending on the model — configured to match your own grading tiers.
  • Capacity: 0.8 to 6 tons per hour depending on the model and the number of infeed lanes.
  • Trained on your varieties: the AI is calibrated on dates from your own factory — Khalas, Sukkari and others — before it runs.
  • Sorting criteria: size, colour, skin defects, ringed versus unringed, fresh versus dry.
  • Line integration: fed from your cleaning line and delivering straight into packing.

Models scaled to your factory's throughput

  • Throughput from 0.8 to 6 tons per hour — set by the model and the number of infeed lanes.
  • Between 6 and 12 outlets — each one programmed to your specification.
  • We recommend the right model once we know your daily throughput and your varieties.

Our experience is not from a catalogue: our engineer installs and services AI sorters inside date factories across the Kingdom — we know the machine from the inside, and we serve more than 130 factories. In cooperation with Joysort — our success partner in intelligent sorting.

Operated in your operator's language

The machine's interface is in Arabic, and a mobile app shows each outlet's counter and percentage alongside the live distribution rate — so your supervisor follows the line without standing at the screen.

Frequently asked questions

Which model suits my factory?
It comes down to your daily throughput, your varieties, and how many grades you sell. Send us those three on WhatsApp and we will recommend the model and outlet count.
Does it sort fresh dates or only dry?
The machine is calibrated to your target moisture level. Tell us your varieties and we tune the model to them before delivery.
How much labour does it save?
It depends on your current line. In practice, rows of hand-sorting tables become one or two operators watching and feeding.
What about spare parts and servicing?
We support you on site from Dammam and stock the consumable parts — no waiting on a technician from outside the Kingdom.
Will it work on our factory's power?
We review your site specification and confirm 380V / 60Hz compatibility before you order.
