Stubborn disease of citrus is caused by Spiroplasma citric (a phytoplasma disease). It is common in sweet orange, grapefruit and tangelo trees.

The infected fruits can be easily identified because they remain small and looks uneven. And depends on the stage of ripening the fruit exhibits stylar end greening where the blossom end of the fruit remain green and the stem end become colored.

There are many companies that manufacture orange sorting and grading machine based on size and shape. We are not supposed to recommend any company links. The following link may give you some idea
