FACMA produces a range of trailed harvesters suitable for the mechanized gathering from the ground of hazelnuts, chestnuts, almonds, walnuts, olives, coffee, macadamias, pecan nuts, etc. The enterprise has a long experience in the manufacture and employment of these machines, whose lasting success is due to their versatility in harvesting a wide range of produces, to the simplicity of use and maintenance, to their manageability and to the capacity of adapting to the ground unevenness. The manufactured models are classified in order of size and working capacity, to be considered on the basis of the personal harvesting exigencies. The trailed harvester works thanks to the principle of suction of fruits from the ground, it is powered by the tractor with an universal joint, it is endowed with 1 or 2 light – weight flexible pipes held by walking operators who guide them over mounds or rows of produce on the ground. The sucked-up produce is propelled into a depression chamber where it is separated from the heavier waste material. Subsequently the produce is poured through a valve into a conveyor with a ventilator where, thanks to an air flow, leaves and light impurities are eliminated. Then a double rotary sieve makes a further selection from impurities with different sizes from the fruits ones. In the end the collected produce is downloaded into sacks or into pulled trailers.
