<p>Apparatus for harvesting horticultural produce growing close to the ground in the field of cultivation that includes two side conveyors arranged at right angles to the direction of travel of the apparatus at a distance from each other and feeding towards each other, where produce picked by hand from the field can be placed and transported to an area between the side conveyors, from where it is then moved via a further conveyor for the produce to an area where it is set aside. So that such an apparauts can even be used to harvest horticultural produce that requires careful handling, as well as the sorting by size of such produce, it is among other things suggested that the further transportation partly includes a hoisting belt (32) with evenly spaced elevations (34) between which the produce is picked up and transported on the hoisting belt, and partly an adjacent conveyor belt (42) with openings between which produce with a size less than the size of these openings can drop down to a first part of the setting-aside area, while the other produce is transported further along the conveyor belt (42) to a second part of the setting-aside area.</p> |
