PURPOSE:To eliminate the discharge of unscreened apples by providing horizontal endless annular circulating conveyors which receive and transport apples from each one of four rows of transport lane by color tone grade and also providing rotary arm-type fruit catchers and XY tables. CONSTITUTION:A large quantity of applies screened into four grades by color tone are transported by color tone grade in four transport lanes 11. In addition, four horizontal endless annular circulating conveyors 15A to 15D receive and transport apples from four transport lanes 11'. Of these four circulating conveyors 11', at least, two have 8 rotary arm-type fruit catchers B1 to B8, C1 to C8 installed along the former. Then the XY table 13 is provided at the majority of the eight rotary arm-type fruit catchers. Consequently, a large extra capability need not be added to the existing capability of the XY table, and no unscreened apples are discharged, even if apples with a specific color tone and size are temporarily supplied all at once.
