Objects such as fruit, tomatoes or the like are manually sorted from a plurality of sorting stations disposed in front of a rotating, open-faced scanning reel. The reel has longitudinal, radially projecting flights that are fed from the top by a laterally inclined longitudinally running belt conveyor. Successive rows of the objects are inspected and selected objects are manually flicked out over the upper quadrant of the reel, whereas the remaining objects are confined by a curved guard and deposited into a separate collection station.
