Period
1930's +
Canada
Used at a Canadian orchard co-op packing-house on Covey Hill in Quebec's Eastern townships.
Function
Table on which produce was placed as it entered a packing line. This particular hopper was used in conjunction with multiple other mechanized components to help with the sorting, sizing and packing of orchard fruits.
Technical
Canvas-lined hopper suitable for a small-scale packing facility. The canvas sheeting was integral in reducing the amount of bruising that occurred when the apples were being dumped onto the hopper. ‘Dumping’ is the process where boxes of fruit are emptied onto a hopper and spread onto a roller conveyor. Once on the conveyor, labourers were tasked with sorting/grading the fruit and guiding them to their respectful accumulation points. To be effective, produce had to enter the packing line at a steady pace.
