Abstract: A novel apparatus and method for separating good raisins from moldy raisins. The apparatus comprises two conveyor belts which are rotatably mounted to a frame by suitable rollers. The belts are oriented so as to overlap one another slightly, and such that the overlapping portions exert a slight amount of pressure on the raisins as they pass through the overlapping portions. Both belts are simultaneously driven by a single motor so as to travel at the same speed.In use, an untreated mixture of good and moldy raisins is deposited onto the lower belt so as to form a single layer. As the raisins pass through the overlapping portions of the upper belt and the lower belt, the moldy raisins adhere to one of the belts, and the good raisins drop downward from between the belts. The moldy raisins are thereafter scraped from the belts, and the moldy raisins and good raisins are separately collected and stored.
