A unique patented unit in the form of a cylindrical brush, which is directed into the olive tree and orientated between the branches for fruit removal.
During the ‘brushing’ process, the flexible fingers shake in an alternating motion causing the fruit to fall from the branch.
The movement of the brush on this innovative patented fruit removal head can be adjusted based on tree type and collection time, limiting loss of leaves and small branches.

The operator uses a pratical, clear and ergonomical control panel that allows complete control of all the machine’s functions and lets the operator perform even the most difficult manoeuvres safely and freely.
It’s equipped with joysticks, switches and emergency push button, to move the articulated arm and the unit with flexible fingers between the branches.
Also, to make easier the learning of the use of the machine, on the transmitter, has been inserted a switch for the double speed: slow, the inexpert and fast for the experts.

The photo shows the inferior frame which is equipped with a worm scrow fifth wheel, the oil tank with oil cooler and two hydraulic towing stabilizers which, once fixed to the ground, provide adequate stability to perform collection safely.

By a “proportional” flow distributor, the operator is able to perform all movements simultaneously and set to your liking, the right speed to selected cylinders, smoothly, without sudden acceleration or sudden stops of the articulated arm, so as make fluid movements in the comb approach to the fronds.

Also, the double telescopic arm, the rotation of 360 degrees without stopping by the worm scrow fifth wheel and the use of the radio control allow, with a single placing of the machine, to execute the collection of the whole left and right olive along the rows.

The special structure of the articulated arm with double telescopic arm represents the ideal solution both for the collection of secular olive trees, also remarkable dimension, both of little trees and also on narrow planting or on terraces.
The machine, applied to tractor 3 point hitch, can work indifferently with long net strips, spread and recovered later by the net motorized Roller system, or with mechanical interceptor umbrella to reduce the number of the workers.
