Abstract

The invention relates to a method for packaging products, such as vegetables and fruits, utilizing a sorting machine, comprising the steps of determining per product the characteristics of the respective products, such as, for instance, determining their weight and/or their shape; comparing the characteristics with predetermined packaging requirements; on the basis of this comparison, selecting products that do not need to be packaged; supplying the other, non-selected products to a packaging unit, which packaging unit is energized only when there is a substantially uninterrupted in-feed of the products into the packaging unit.
The invention also relates to an apparatus for carrying out the method.
