Harvester for small fallen fruits

摘要

A harvester for small fallen fruit is adapted to a conventional self propelled farm vehicle chassis moving over a row of planted shrubs with a system of long protruding rods that lifts up the leaves and branches of the fruit bearing shrubs, thus clearing the way for a pair of elongated rotating sweepers with one positioned to be running at one side of the row of shrubs and the other so positioned as to be on the opposite side of the same row of shrubs and each positioned to collect the fallen fruits from the surface of the plastic mulch and each of the elongated rotating brush directs the fruits into the mouth of its own dedicated air duct which propels the fruits into a cleaning unit that removes dirt, dust, leaves and twigs from the fruits before they fall into a collector bin.
