Machine for the inspection and sorting of fruits, comprising:

• an inspection unit which inspects fruits, connected to a control system, comprising an artificial vision system, which in turn comprises at least one camera,
• transport means, which transport the fruits through an initial section up to the inspection unit, and extract the fruits from the inspection unit through a final section when the inspection has been carried out, and
• ejection means arranged in the final section of the transport means, and connected to the control system, which eject from the machine the fruits inspected by the inspection unit which do not comply with certain conditions pre-established by said control system,
• wherein the transport means comprise a conveyor belt formed by a plurality of rotating rollers which make the transported fruits rotate while the fruits advance, providing multiple views of said fruits to the artificial vision system,
• wherein the final section of the transport means comprises at a end thereof a curved surface for the fall of the fruits of said transport means and exit from the machine, said curved surface having a variable decreasing radius along a section which runs from a start and at least up to a point where the transported fruits fall from the transport means.
