The Trailed Harvesters are suitable for the picking from the ground of: hazelnuts, chestnuts, almonds, walnuts, coffee, macadamia, pecan walnuts and olives. The Trailed Harvesters born by this times in the far ’70s years, are the first machines created by FACMA and still now they are considered an important part in the annual production. Their success is due to their versatility in harvesting a wide number of products and to their handiness that makes easy and fast the mechanized harvesting. The Trailed Harvesters models are produced in order of size and working capacity, depending on the personal necessity of work.

FUNCTION
The harvester is powered from the tractor by a cardan joint and the produce is sucked up by one or more light-weight flexible tubes held by operators who guide them over the mounds or rows of the produce on the ground. The produce that has been sucked up is then propelled into a depression chamber and poured through a valve into a conveyor with a ventilator where the leaves and other impurities are eliminated. The produce is then put into a double gyratory screen where the impurities that are the same size as the produce are separated. The produce is then put into sacks or trailers. Different gyratory screens can be fixed on the machines to gather the products above mentioned. It is also possible to fix a lateral harvester onto the hydraulic arm on the C200T C300T & C380T versions. This is a head with brushes on that works hydraulically through the tractor’s double plug. For maximum performance, the area should be worked different times throughout shredder the proceeding year and before the produce falls down to the ground.
SELF-PROPELLED HARVESTERS
The Trailed Harvesters are suitable for the picking from the ground of: hazelnuts, chestnuts, almonds, walnuts, coffee, macadamia and olives. These machines constitute the fruit of development, knowledge and technologies, and they represent the FACMA reply to the mechanized harvesting of the product. Easy to manoeuvre tank to their efficaciousness and their efficiency they improve the work capacity, they reduce the harvesting times and the labour costs.
- Saves on manpower as only one operator required;
- Supplied with lateral blowing kit which propels the produce between the rows to quicken the process;
- Can be used on sloping ground with the help of a front driving wheel (on demand);
- Has the possibility of going over the same piece of ground in order to avoid harming the product;
- A system of selection makes an excellent product cleaning.
The Self-propelled harvesters models are produced in order of size and working capacity, depending on the personal necessity of work.

FUNCTION
First of all the produce which has fallen down on the ground is tiered by a pair of frontal contra-rotating brushes which cover an area of between 1.5 and 3.5 metres. There is a suction tube which is placed in the middle over a gatherer which, then, sucks up the produce and propels it towards a depression chamber where the heavier waste material is separated. The produce is then poured through a valve into a conveyor and is blasted with air from a ventilator so that leaves and other light-weight impurities are eliminated. A double gyratory screen carries out a further selection process by separating all of the impurities of different shapes and sizes from the produce. The cleaned product is then put into a trolley or into sacks. Different gyratory screens can be fixed on the machines to gather the products above mentioned. All the self-propelled harvesters are supplied with a lateral blowing kit, which uses the air from the suction to propel sideways in the right direction the produce on the ground, so that a sort of tier is formed which helps the gathering at the next passing. For maximum performance, the area should be worked different times throughout shredder the proceeding year and before the produce falls down to the ground. |
