Sorting table combined with the packaging process is a simple tool that can be used to make the process of sorting and grading. Products that come placed in the sorting bin, sorted by one worker, then inserted into the container packaging and finally packed by a second worker. If workers must stand for menyortasi products, it is necessary to sufficiently thick rubber pads on the floor to help reduce fatigue.
Sorting table combined with the packaging process is illustrated in the following figure.
Figure 5. Table sorting combined with the packaging process
Next is a sorting table that moves are constructed from canvas and has a radius of about one meter. The edges are lined with a thin layer of foam to protect produce from bruising during sorting, and the slope from the center toward the sorter is made of about 10 degrees. Produce can be dumped onto the table from a harvesting container, then sorted by size, color and / or grade, and packed directly into the packaging for further processing.
In this sorting table can be up to four sorters / packers can work comfortably around the table. Sorting table moving images can be seen in the following figure.
Figure 6. The rotating gravity table
In the sorting and grading to separate the waste material and to remove products that are too small, decayed or damaged, the height of the sorting table should be such that workers can work comfortably for doing his job. Seat or cushion of rubber robust to stand, should be provided to reduce fatigue. Location table and the sorting bins should be chosen to minimize the movement of the hand.
Hand workers are capable of rotating through an angle of 45 degrees to reach toward the table, and the width of the table should be less than 0.5 meter to reduce stretching. Good lighting (500 to 1000 lux at work surface) will improve the ability of the sorter to spot defects. Tabletops dark or opaque can also reduce eye fatigue.
