Feucht-Obsttechnik - Model VHD / B / E - Fruit Harvesting Trunk Shaker
For trunk diameters of 10 to 60 cm. The trunk shakers differ in terms of how they are controlled. This is done either via the tractor control device or the hydraulic control devices (mechanical / electrical) installed in the shakers. The VHB trunk shaker is delivered without a hydraulic control device. The VHD trunk shaker is equipped with a mechanical control device. The VHE trunk shaker has an electric control device. The essential construction of the trunk shakers is otherwise identical.
Working with the trunk shaker is extremely simple. The gripper attached to the three-point linkage of a tractor encloses the trunk of the tree to be shaken. The pressure on the rubber jaws attached to the gripper is infinitely variable. A hydraulically driven unbalanced mass shakes the entire tree. Cherries, plums, yellow plums, apples, pears, olives, or nuts can thus be harvested particularly effectively and quickly.
For the shakers, grippers are available for trunks with a diameter of up to 60 cm.
