Abstract
The invention relates to a method for switching between different products such as vegetables and fruit on a sorting system, a computer-readable medium and sorting system suitable therefor, the method comprising of:—receiving a switching signal during sorting of products of the first product type that products of the second product type have to be sorted;—the controller selecting sorting channels which are free of products of the first product type;—assigning at least some selected sorting channels to the second product type;—assigning sorting classes of the second product type to one or more of the assigned sorting channels; and—sorting products of the second product type in sorting channels assigned thereto during the emptying of sorting channels of the first product type. Preparatory emptying of some of the sorting channels optionally takes place prior to the switch-over.
