This harvester is the only model of half-row harvester in the world that is designed for harvesting primocane raspberry cultivated without supports.
NATALKA harvester is equipped with the fruit harvesting system that is based on one unit for shaking off fruits. This harvesting system has been checked in practice by us and our customers. The system guarantees effective harvesting of raspberries and good quality of fruits. Mechanical harvesting with the use of this system has no harmful influence on the fruit yield in next years.
The harvester drives to a row of raspberry. The raspberry row is divided into halves. Raspberry shoots are introduced into the fruit shaking off zone by means of a pick-up device (when an active pick-up device is used the raspberry shoots are introduced by means of two tapes with shelves) and a row divider. Raspberry fruits drop onto the conveyors and are carried through the cleaning unit and then to the boxes positioned in a proper manner. The fruits can be selected at the end of the conveyor. Operator of the harvester collects the boxes filled with fruits and puts them on the working platform. In order to harvest all fruits, the harvester must be driven into the raspberry row again from the other side.
The fruits collected by NATALKA harvester are designated mainly for processing and freezing. The fruits are qualified for freezing (fruits of higher quality) or for processing into pulp (fruits of lower quality) on the basis of external factors such as: type of raspberry, stage of ripeness, condition of plantation. Watered plantations are the best suitable for combine harvesting.
NATALKA harvester is fitted for repeated harvesting during fruit-bearing period and is suitable for 3-4 hectares plantations.
The harvester can be additionally equipped with the following:
- Active pick-up device.
- Automatics for guiding the harvester to the fruit row (including a hydraulic drawbar for 2 pairs of outputs from the tractor)
- Hydraulic drawbar without automatics
Details concerning the accessories for the harvester are discussed individually with our customers in order to adapt the machine to the customers’ requirements and possibilities.
In order to guarantee efficient operation of the harvester and fulfilment of the user’s expectations, the raspberry plantation must be properly prepared and cultivated in such a manner as to maintain the following basic parameters:
- type of raspberry must be suitable for mechanical harvesting
- minimum spacing of rows: 2.80 m
- width of raspberry bush belt in the row (at the base, at the ground height): maximum 70 cm
- height of raspberry bushes: 1.30 m – 1.80 m
Technical solutions employed in NATALKA harvester are subject to patent laws.
NATALKA harvester fulfils all standards and requirements of the European Union with regard to machine safety. As a standard, each seeder is delivered with the instruction manual prepared in one of the following languages: Polish, English, Russian or German. Other language versions of the instruction manual are available on special request of the customer.
