Machines for harvesting hazelnuts by Feucht Obsttechnik

Hazelnut vacuum extractor CH EU 1000

Harvest hazelnuts and forest fruits with vacuum power.

This harvesting device is particularly suitable for the collection of forest fruits such as chestnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, olives, walnuts, etc.

Thanks to its small size, the hazelnut vacuum extractor can be used with small and mid-sized tractors. Thus, even poorly accessible harvesting areas can be reached more easily. With the hazelnut vacuum extractor, the nuts are collected using vacuum power. The nuts are then transported by a valve-supported conveyor belt. At the same time, an air stream removes leaves and contamination. The collected nuts are then loaded into bags or cartons.

Hazelnut rake

Clear the driving lanes and rake the nuts into rows..

With the hazelnut rake nuts lying on the ground in the driving lanes or between the trees can be raked into rows. The rakes can be used for various nuts such as, for example, hazelnuts, walnuts, chestnuts, almonds, or macadamia nuts.

The rake leads to a significant increase in harvest productivity as it facilitates harvesting with the Harvey Pro. The hazelnut rake is attached to the front of the tractor. The work width of the rake can be flexibly adjusted by means of hydraulic pistons.
