Title: Device for sorting a harvested stream of fruit comprises sorter bars with the distance between the axes of the bars variable
Inventor: DEFURNE CHRISTOPHE ROBERT
IPC: A23N15/02
Filed: 2008-07-25
Abstract: A device 1 for sorting a harvested stream of fruit in bunches and intended to be mounted in a harvesting machine, comprises least two transverse sorter bars 3 driven in rotation with a cyclic relative movement about a transverse axis.
