PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sorting apparatus for agricultural products that does not require labor and is suitable to labor saving.SOLUTION: A plurality of weighing-by-weighing discharge devices 7 which weighs and takes agricultural products 3 away aside by classification while sending the agricultural products one after another are arranged successively. Each weighing-by-weighing discharge device 7 comprises an independent circulating short belt as a part of a progressive conveyor 4, a support frame for the circulating short belt, and a push-out cylinder 30 taking an agricultural product 3 away, and has one end supported on a pedestal in a cantilever state by pin coupling and is provided with a weight hung from a pressure sensor at the other end so that the agricultural product 3 can be weighed. The cylinder 30 operates to a discharge side with a command in weighting based upon a numerical setting of a classification range of the pressure sensor, and a discharge opening for the smallest classification of agricultural products 3 is present at an end of the progressive conveyor 4 and each discharge opening is formed as a chute 21 for throwing agricultural products 3 in a recovery box 19. |
