Olympus
Olive Contractors and Transport
provide
Olive grove owners with a efficient (around 250 - 400 trees an hour);
cost effective method of harvesting their fruit.
|
 |
 |
Olympus Olive Contractors and Transport utilise a self propelled,
over the row
mechanical
harvester
which allows variable width to adjust to diverse tree sizes.
|
 |
 |
The leaf
extractors and conveyer belts ensure that the olives are conveyed to the
fruit bins with the
maximum efficiency.
A particular advantage for olive oil producers is the ability to harvest
fruit whilst still green.
|
|
|
 |
The olive harvester harvests
continuously, adding to the cost efficiency.
Field trials in 2003 showed the harvester is capable of up to 98% fruit
retrieval. |
