Abstract
ABSTRACT A drip-line pickup system was designed to increase fruit-handling capacity and the efficiency of trash and unwholesome fruit separation and to reduce damage. The tractor-drawn pickup machine had a rod draper chain for pickup that allowed some trash to fall through it before reaching the double-belt trash elimina-tor. The pickup machine had a steered rear axle and a sorting conveyor for removing unwholesome fruit before the fruit were loaded directly into a high-lift truck. The average pickup rate and ground speed were 448 kg/min and 1.36 km/h, respectively, and fruit recovery efficiency was 98 percent.
