Mini-grader with interchangeable weighing cups for fruits such as apricots, apples, peaches, plums, citrus, kiwis, melons.
For a cup grader to be efficient, the weighing cups have to have the right size for the fruits to be graded: Thus cups suitable for apricots will not be suitable for apples and other fruits of the same size.
