Greefa. Specialist in sorting machinery for fruit and vegetables. We supply
quality right down to the finest detail. This makes us one of the world’s
foremost manufacturers.
Each type of fruit and vegetable requires its own unique method of handling. This is
why, in addition to developing sorting equipment, we also ensure processes are
customised to meet the requirements of each individual customer. This enables
modules, which perform diagnostics during the sorting process, to be added to all our
machinery. Size, colour, weight. The sugar level and internal quality, in addition to the
firmness and external quality of a fruit. Plus our care extends even further. We also
develop equipment specifically designed for packaging, input and transport. The
structure of our equipment ensures that we are able to come up with a modular
solution for every sorting problem. This makes us a high-tech total supplier.
The treatment of fruit and vegetables requires an individual approach in every
country. Our export managers have an in-depth knowledge of country-based
standards and requirements. In partnership with a worldwide dealer network.
This enables us to be at home across the globe.
You will also find the high quality of Greefa equipment reflected in the customised
maintenance contracts that we use to keep your machinery up to date. All
complemented by our telephone help desk service. If necessary, modems on our
machines trace defects online and at high speed. Enabling you to become
immediately operational. If this proves unsuccessful one of our engineers will visit you
on site. This safeguards the continuity of your business.
Greefa is an innovative pioneer in the field of sorting machinery. We have an excellent
knowledge of the market which forms a solid basis for our Research & Development
technicians. Our R&D Department is continuously engaged in improving existing
techniques and developing new concepts. All our equipment is developed in-house.
This is valid for complete systems as well as their corresponding modules or software.
With an eye for user-friendliness and care for your product. And that’s unique!

THE DIFFERENCE IS
Francisco Rey, grower and exporter of Spanish
tomatoes says: “At Greefa they understand what
the Spanish market needs.”
“When we started our search for a sorting machine for our
tomatoes we received offers from all over Europe. But soon
the reputation of Greefa as manufacturer of high-tech
machinery of a very high quality stood out. The following
aspects are of particular importance to us: reliability,
precision, capacity and the low noise level of the machine.
As a consequence working with the machine will be
pleasant. Moreover it is important that the machine will
accurately be finished and will occupy little space.
With the sorting machine of the SmartSort type we
selected a machine that completely meets our
requirements. We need a machine that can be operational
for 20 hours a day without the risk of errors during the
peak hours and this machine can handle this without a
problem. The machine is highly reliable and, thanks to the
intelligent design, maintenance can be limited to a
minimum. In the extraordinary circumstance that a problem
would yet occur we can rely on the assistance of Greefa or
of the local dealer. Our tomatoes look perfect and our
production increased as a result of the system of automatic
fillers. This system ensures that the tomatoes will almost
entirely have the same size, weight and colour. Our
customers are surprised about the homogeneity of our
product. We were able to save labour costs and our
customers are satisfied. What more can we wish for? I
need to say that all my wishes are, when time passes by,
fulfilled and that I am very happy and fortunate with my
choice for Greefa.”
A QUESTION OF RELIABILITY

machine for longer vegetable
and fruit types such as
cucumbers, aubergines and
courgettes: the QSort. This
machine sorts size, colour,
weight, length and curvature
extremely precisely.
Developed in cooperation
with various growers,
therefore fully tailored to
your professional
requirements!
The QSort has an optional automatic packaging add-on unit.
Primary advantages of the QSort:
1 - 2 lanes

A success story for years: the MSE. The ideal sorting machine for
fruits with a awkward shape, such as paprika’s and pears. The MSE
CXL is available for large fruits such as melons, avocados and
mangos and for large potato crops. The patented Greefa flap
ensures that fruits are carefully put from cups before being placed
on the conveyor belt. The recently introduced MSE upgrade ensures
an even higher sorting speed.

THE DIFFERENCE IS
Floris van der Linden, cucumber grower in the
Netherlands: “The QSort is developed for but also by
cucumber growers!”
“When it comes to sorting cucumbers are a category of
their own. They rarely look alike. One is a bit straighter, the
other is a bit more crooked and when it comes to length
there are also a lot of differences. Greefa developed, in
cooperation with the cucumber growers, a sorting machine,
the QSort. It is a fantastic machine which, without any
effort, calculates the weight and curvature of the
cucumbers. And quite fast too. Especially for our company
Greefa developed an ‘easy way’ transportation system for
cucumbers. This ensures that the boxes with cucumbers will
automatically be transported. This saves me a number of
workers. I understand that this machine is a worldwide
success. I am not surprised!”
A QUESTION OF DEVELOPMENT
Individual vegetable and fruit growers have their own
specific requirements. To address this, Greefa has
adopted a modular approach to its sorting machines.
So you can always be certain that your machine is exactly
geared to your company requirements. The iQS, iFA and
iFD modules guarantee perfect customisation!
iQS
Vegetables and fruit should not only be delicious, they should also
look good. Your customers require this and consumers demand it.
In order to guarantee that only your finest products reach the shelf
Greefa has developed the intelligent Quality Sorter; iQS in short.
And successfully!
What does iQS have to offer?
non-destructive fruit handling (external)
up to no less than 70 images per fruit
both colour and black and white images
optimal control to within the square millimetre
continuous quality for your customers
user friendly
iFA
Not only are we able to thoroughly analyse the exterior of fruits;
we have also developed a module which analyses their interior.
When is a fruit ‘tasty’? Our intelligent Flavour Analyser, iFA, gives
you the answer. This module is so unique that we have had it
patented.
What does iFA have to offer?
non-destructive fruit handling (internal)
diagnostics using high intensity laser beam
spectrum analysis predicting Brix value, internal brownness and
core rot
whole fruit is measured
continuous quality for your customers
developed in-house so includes guaranteed service
user friendly
iFD
Although there is often little visible change on the outside, each
day brings a new stage of ripeness to a fruit. It is vital for your
customers to know the shelf life of fruits in addition to their ideal
date of consumption. Our patented intelligent Firmness Detector,
iFD, provides you with an exact calculation!
What does iFD have to offer?
non-destructive firmness sensor
up to no less than 20 measurements around the fruit
successfully applied to fruits such as apples, avocados, mangos
and kiwis
user friendly
THE DIFFERENCE IS
Paul Koch, General Manager Olympic Fruit, USA:
We at Olympic Fruit devised a new operating concept that
required specific equipment. After a lengthy search, we
selected Greefa as our partner. We were very impressed
with their technical ability, and we were confident they
could produce the specialized equipment we needed.
Fortunately, they exceeded our expectations. Not only
does their equipment enable us to implement the new
operating model, it also does so in a very gentle manner.
In addition, the Greefa iFA technology allows us to nondestructively detect internal browning. Prior to this
technology, if a grower suffered this defect in excess of
state standards it could not be marketed and he suffered
a loss. Utilizing the iFA technology, we can save the
grower crop by removing the internal browning thus
conforming to state standards and deliver an outstanding
product. At present we are the only company in US that
can successfully do this.
Greefa was also challenged by us to create a Gentle Bin
Filler. They created the “Olympic” filler which again
exceeded our expectations. Greefa along with the support
of its dealer, CCS Equipment Inc. is committed to our
success creating a winning combination for the future.
A QUESTION OF SERVICE
Our machines sort fruits. The modules ensure that
sorting is carried out even more precisely and according
to your own specifications and requirements. However,
a number of associated processes are also involved.
Products need to be input and transported. Crops
weighed and packaged. Et cetera. To address this Greefa
has developed a wide range of peripheral equipment.
DUMPERS
For product input you can choose from a range of
conveyor belts and water channels. We have recently
developed a series of intelligent dumpers, which vary
from basic to highly advanced, from manual to fully
automatically rotating.
Advantages of our dumpers:
fruit friendly
high capacity
user friendly
optimal occupation
suitable for floating and non-floating fruits
GENTLE BIN FILLER
Products also need to be transported. To address this
Greefa has developed water channels, packaging sets
and an underwater filler. The Gentle Bin Filler
selection has also recently been extended. This bin
filler is supplied with a single or double head option
and is fully automatic. The Gentle Bin Filler is a huge
worldwide success and we are proud of it!
Advantages of the Gentle Bin Filler:
dry and fruit-friendly filling
suitable for multiple fruit types
occupies a minimum of space
THE DIFFERENCE IS
Dick Heijmans, project manager at Koninklijke
FruitmastersGroep in the Netherlands: “It is a
question of user-friendliness and care for the product”
“Steady and high quality are a requirement at an
international company such as Fruitmasters that works with
sensitive products such as apples and pears. Coupled to the
MSE iQS of Greefa constitutes the solution to meet this
requirement. We recently even expanded our requirement
by means of switching to the newest version of iQS. The
technique and user-friendliness lead to fewer loss at the
packaging belts. We can consequently guarantee a
customer-specific quality. We are, for many years, familiar
with the innovative technique and service of Greefa and
they constitute an additional guarantee. Their knowledge
of the market ensures that our investment in iQS will be
quite valuable to ourselves but also to our buyers”.
