wonder what the loss ratio is...
still that machine is insanely efficient
870 u/TheCheeser9 Dec 31 '20 edited Dec 31 '20 The results revealed that fruit losses of 17%, 21% and 23% were observed in early, middle and late season harvesting, respectively. Found this on https://dalspace.library.dal.ca/handle/10222/72041 Edit: an older source from 1999 claimed the machines used at that time had 14-16% loss. Seems weird that yield went down with newer technology, but maybe speed increased so it's overall better? 4 u/BlindAngel Dec 31 '20 Lost increased, but quality did too due to more efficient sorting machine, increased yield and decreased processing time.
