In August 2015. BSK Ltd. made a presentation of Air Jet Berry Harvester KOKAN 500S at a raspberry plantation in the Polish place of Karczmiska (Lublin province), which gathered a large number of berries growers. Attendees had the opportunity to familiarize with the new principle of fruit harvesting by air pulsations. Presentation has enabled us to open one of the largest markets of berries in Europe, the market of Poland. The large response and interest of customers and subcontractors gives us the impulse to continue with our successful development of innovative technologies of fruit harvesting.
HARVESTING ALL BERRIES EASILY WITHOUT PHYSICAL CONTACT AND DAMAGES
Kokan 500S is towed behind harvester that efficiently harvests raspberry, blackberry, blueberry, black currents and other berries.
It uses a pulsalting air jets of controled velocity and frequency to shake plant bush and deteched the fruits, receive fruits with delayed free fall on catching system and remov dry leaves/twigs by intensive air stream.
The KOKAN 500s provides an innovative, unique and proven Solution for Effective Harvesting of wide range of fruits including Raspberries, Blueberries, Blackberries and Black Currants.
Unlike other industry available harvesters, the mechanism of agitating fruit plants is essentially touchless, resulting in minimum fruit bruise and bush damage rate.
Employs industry proven and improved methods of detached fruit collection, transport and purification. Delayed free fall of detached and collected fruits is another inherent and distinctive design feature of KOKAN 500S, which provides further reduction in bruise rate.
Inherent application versatility is accomplished via simple and user friendly adjustment of machine operating parameters, such as independent adjustment of pulsating air jets velocity and frequency.
Harvesting for fresh market
Unique harvesting solution with significant advantages
ADVANTAGES
