BEI's special rack and pinion power steering allows the harvester to turn in it's own length. All of our harvesters are power by Cummin's diesel engines . Cummin's is know for fuel economy and reliability. The picked fruit after being shaken from the bush is collected on catcher pans, moved by stainless steel bucket conveyors past air blast cleaners that remove held trash, then deposit them into lugs. This system minimizes dropped fruit and fruit bruising.
Lug tenders control the conveyor and air blast cleaner speeds.
All this while moving non-stop at 1.5 miles per hour through the field. The BEI Rotary Head mechanism is the most gentle picking mechanism we offer. The 288 Nylon picking fingers penetrate the bush for effective harvesting of the entire bush. The vibration of the fingers is fully adjustable to maximize fruit quality under your field conditions. Each cluster of fingers can be individually adjusted for varying degrees of resistance in different portions of the bush.
