 The technology of collecting fruit

It is based on a vertical shakers harvesting system. The fruits are falling on a conveyor and are transported through a cleaning unit. They have thoroughly cleaned off leaves and other impurities. An effective sealing system minimizes fruit losses. Next, fruits are transported to a fruit selecting zone and into totes and lugs.
