Are you tired of managing a large number of seasonal workers?
Do you want to avoid
high losses due to
unharvested fruit?
Do you want to overcome your current organizational challenges?
Introducing our
KOKAN Berry Harvester
Growing your fruit, especially berries, is a delicate process. We know what it all entails, and we understand the problems fruit growers face on a daily basis. That inspired us to create a harvester that will combine the forces of mother nature with innovative technology – our very own KOKAN Air Berry Harvester.
What makes KOKAN Berry Harvester unique
Air Harvesting Technology
Efficiency of Nature at Your Command
Our world patent-protected technology imitates storms with pulsating air jets of controlled velocity and frequency. In this way, the plant is shaken without physical contact, avoiding possible damage to berries and plants.
Pneumatic Pillows
Soft Grip Technology at Your Service
Our pneumatic pillows are made of a special kind of rubber that is air-filled and that absorbs the energy of dropped berries, thus eliminating bruises.
Disc Combs
Inovative Catching System
Waste Under 5%
The design of the disc combs maximally encloses the space around the plant, minimizing unnecessary fruit spillage during mechanical harvesting. Reducing the spilling on the ground to less then 5%!
Fingers
Enhanced Performances in Your Control
Each Kokan harvester is equipped with fingers positioned on the sides of the picking tunnel. When fingers are in use, the primary harvesting mechanism remains the air pulsation system, while the fingers help direct the plants toward the airflow, enhancing the picking process as needed.
Fine-tuning according to the needs of each and every plantation.
KOKAN Berry Harvester
in actions
Our Air Berry Harvester has integrated KOKAN technology, which consists of Air harvesting technology, Pneumatic pillows, and Fingers.
It is a unique and innovative harvester for picking a wide range of fruits and is a proven solution for harvesting blueberries for the fresh market.
Unlike other mechanical harvesters, the picking mechanism is contactless, and the Air Berry Harvester offers the possibility of a soft fruit grip, which results in minimal damage to the fruit and plant.
Our Air Berry Harvester allows the fine-tuning of technology parameters according to:
– the conditions in the orchard;
– the fruit variety;
– the period of the season.
