摘要：
A sorting apparatus (10) for a produce stream (11), such as berries, is disclosed. A product separation surface (120) is mounted near the distal end of a conveyor (104). The produce stream (11) is slowed by the separation surface (120) so the produce stream falls vertically downward in a single layer. An inspection zone (see Fig. 2) with an imaging device is located downstream from the product separation surface and an ejector assembly is located downstream of the inspection zone to remove unwanted solid material in the produce stream (11). The side of the separation surface (120) closest to the conveyor forms a channel (121) to collect a desired liquid from the product stream.
