■Flexible, lightweight and durable fabric. ■High strength to weight ratio. ■Easy to install. ■Designed for olive collecting. ■Non-toxic product, fulfilling the European regulation of food packaging. Harvesting nets are made entirely of UV- stabilized polyethylene glycol monofilaments. The nets available are of various meshes, to optimize the structure and the different acquisition methods of the fruit. Each net is suitable for a different application, such as organic download acquisition, mobile acquisition or mechanized acquisition. The nets come in different weights and colours, are available in rolls or sheets and can be sewn together with or without a central vent. Advantages •The knocked down fruits fall on the sheets and don’t touch the ground, reaching the mill with less impurities or dirt, obtaining a higher quality crop. This aspect should be taken into account in the olive harvesting, because olives are usually divided in two categories: direct from the tree or from the ground. •Olives directly harvested from the tree will have better performance, since they have not rolled between rocks and sand, therefore reducing the probability of damaging the fruit skin. •Olives harvested from the ground may lose quality during the contact with stones and sand because the breaking of the skin initiates the degradation process directly in the olive grove.
