    摘要: A cleaning fan for use in a cleaning system of a fruit harvester includes a housing and a rotor disposed within the housing. The rotor includes a hub and a plurality of blades. The cleaning fan is configured as a mixed flow fan combining high-volume flow characteristics with increased pressure delivery characteristics. The hub is a frustroconical shaped hub with an axis of rotation, a smaller diameter inlet end, and a larger diameter outlet end. Each of the blades is attached to the hub and curves from the inlet end toward the outlet end, relative to a direction of rotation of the rotor, whereby air is blown during operation both axially and radially.

    摘要: A sorting table for sorting fruit includes a frame with a first side member and a second side member, a plurality of conveying rollers carried by the frame, a plurality of sorting rollers carried by the frame and positioned downstream from the conveying rollers, and a pair of combs positioned respectively with the first side member or the second side member. Each comb includes slots associated with a respective one of the sorting rollers. Each of the combs is pivotally coupled with a corresponding one of the first side member or the second side member. An actuator is coupled with each of the combs for selectively moving the pair of combs in directions transverse to the crop flow direction. An electrical processing circuit coupled with the actuator is configured for controlling the actuator and thereby selectively increasing or decreasing a spacing between the sorting rollers.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a separator for separating harvested berries from other plant matter. The invention particularly relates to a separator that can be fitted to, positioned above, or integrated with, a collection bin and as such allows for material harvested by an automatic berry harvester to be process prior to deposition of the berries in the collection bin. In particular the berry harvester can be a grape harvester.

    摘要: A destemming device includes a housing, a motor, and a belt system configured to fit within the housing. The housing includes at least one cutting aperture. The belt system includes a first belt assembly and a second belt assembly. The first belt assembly includes a first plurality of rollers and a first gripper belt extending around the first plurality of rollers. The second belt assembly includes a second plurality of rollers and a second gripper belt extending around the second plurality of rollers. The first gripper belt and the second gripper belt define a nip. The at least one cutting aperture is aligned with the nip. The motor is operatively connected to the belt system.

    摘要: Rail assembly 302 may comprise rail 322 mechanically coupled to oscillating members 305 and 307. In operation, oscillating members 305 and 307 may reciprocate about vertical axes 352 and 353 of vertical shafts 309 and 311, respectively. Reciprocation of the oscillating members may cause rail 322 to travel in arcuate paths 802 and 804. Arcuate paths 802 and 804 may be located in a two-dimensional plane that is perpendicular to vertical shafts 309 and 311. Rail 322 may impart a force on the trunk of a vine so as to dislodge the fruit from the vine.
