Weighing boxes of tropical fruits stacked on a transport trolley

Bergamot is a fruit from the citrus group that may have originated as a hybrid of sweet lime and bitter orange. The fruit is not used as a fruit, but is mainly grown for the essential oils contained in the bergamot peel. The demanding fruit is harvested in the south of Italy between November and March. Chip boxes filled with the fruit are stacked on a transport trolley and taken to a cooperative for weighing. A drive-through scale is used for weighing. This means that the fruit does not have to be reloaded, which benefits the sensitivity of the fruit.
